8800GTS Slow?! - Page 2

BIOS update... no good.

Leadtek provided drivers (from box) no good.

Clean install with Vista... even worse.

I'll try this PSU mod... but I do not think the PSU is an issue. I have found others with the same power supply and an 8800gts/x that do not have problems...

Does anyone run with Xeon? The only thing I can think of is that the drivers are SMP safe (multicore), but not well tested in this dual socket configuration so there may some interrupts happenning when threads move to another core... or some cache coherency issues...

OK. I tried the PSU mod with a PSU that has single 30A 12V rail. No luck.

This is taking too much effort.

Make sure you have all of your updated sound/chipset drivers. Also make sure have all of your windows updates. And check in your bios and make sure your PCI-E lane is running at 16x.

TheHighHat · 01-31-07, 03:52 PM

Confirmed. All software/firmware is at the latest version. PCIe is running at 16x. (and card is in the 16x slot, just in case anyone wants to ask

)

Could someone run 3dmark01 and let me know how it goes for you? Especially if you have a Leadtek GTS.

I get 14046 3DMark points in 01.

Also, that is at 1920x1440, with 8xAA (essentially everything maxed in 3DM01). Furthermore, I had FarCry running in the background (paused), IE7 open with 3 tabs as well.

So I guess the test wasn't too accurate. I'll try it again at default settings just to see what I get.

47932

Specs are in my sig, except cpu at 3.4ghz and video at stock speed.

Installed it, ran it at what ever the default first loads are.

TheHighHat · 01-31-07, 04:27 PM

See... that is exactly the type of score I was expecting. Maybe 40K at the low end. And like I said in the first post... newer benchmarks are just awful.

NoWayDude · 01-31-07, 04:54 PM

Those on the sig are my scores. I can not for the live of me get more of 2001. The other ones are normal scores I guess

Redeemed · 01-31-07, 05:00 PM

Just tried it again with default settings. I got 20192.

Maybe I should just close FarCry.

SlieTheSecond · 01-31-07, 07:08 PM

Why would you run it with Far Cry running when he is looking for normal performance to compare against?

It's kind of a long story...

For some reason I get BSODs after about the 5th time of loading up FarCry. So to prevent these from happening- I just leave FarCry running. I recently shut my computer down, so I had to close FarCry (hoping I don't get a BSOD when I go to play FarCry next)- so I can run it again to see what I get.
