low score on 3dmark vantage whit HD4870x2

[L1qu1d]

3d all settings.

oh and liquid, fps in the twenties with crysis ain't that good at that res with no AA, it could be for some reason something ain't working right, it could also just be crysis.

Shoot didn't see lol, thnx

when im testing my different clocks on CCC i have noticed that the GPU activity dont go to 100% only to 40-60%
so can that be a problem??

 

[spathotan]

Actually 790GX is THE chipset for overclocking the Phenoms. But thats beside the point.

His boards chipset has nothing to do with the score, its not hurting his ATI card just because the chipset is Nvidia. Its more than likely the CPU "hurting" the score.

 

[Dahl]

a friend told me that his GPU activity goes to 100% when his trying the clocks in CCC

 

[spathotan]

You mean when using the auto-tune feature, or testing custom clocks? Its suposted to do that, its stressing to see if its stable.

 

[Dahl]

i mean the testing custom clocks.

 

[Dahl]

but min dosent go to 100%

 

[customisbetter]

dude, i can get about 20 frames in crysis very high at 1280x1024. Yes that is with a 8800 gs. something is seriously wrong with your system. Do you have the TLB fix enabled? because if so, that would have a serious effect on your performance.

 

[spathotan]

He dosent need the fix, his Proc is a 9850. Phenoms with the xx50 nomenclature are the revisions.

 

[customisbetter]

*facepalm*

my bad.

 

[Dahl]

now i got another problem to... crysis wont play in DX10 only DX9 i have tryed to reinstall it but it didint help

 

[customisbetter]

do you have the 1.21 patch?
and what os do you have? Which vista?

 

[Dahl]

no i dont have that patch dowloading it now
and i have vista ultimate x64

Crysis is probably the worst game to be gauging your performance on with the 4870X2, it is the only game that the X2 is still worse than the GX2 and mayve even 8800GT SLi.

 

[iluvgillgill]

i think Crysis is the best CPU benchmark!lol

 

[Dahl]

i got it to work... annisman what do you think is the best game to test the performance of a HD4870x2?

 

[iluvgillgill]

im not 100% sure but for testing vram GRID with full antialiasing on will drag a 512mb card to a halt! i think to test GPU capability is those TRUE DX10 game.

 

[Dahl]

ok. but still i know that crysis shuld run better whit this card but i dont know what the problem is..

 

[falconzfan007]

hahaha AMD.....

 

[Dahl]

whats wrong whit amd??
