What should I do to improve my Scores

[nugent73]

I just rebuilt my main rig and ran 3dmark vantage and feel that my scores are not where they should be.

3dmark score - P30669
GPU score 28403
CPU score 40317

I have not overclocked yet. I am not really sure where to begin with that.

The 295 and the Chipset and the intel chip are Water cooled
The i7 stabalized about 52c during test and the 2 295 quad sli video cards temps stabalized chips 1 and 3 58C 2 and 4 48c

EVGA Classified 3way sli
i7 965
2 295's (pre Coop) quad sli moniter 1 (physics)
9800GT moniter 2
EVGA NIC
4 raptors HD Raid 5
Corsair 12G xms

Any advice would be great

Here's how to set the nVidia control panels:





You need these two tools from eVGA: eVGA Precision and Voltage tools

Lower sytem overhead to start

Max card settings using fur mark ... quick and easy ... give up shader clock if you have to to get core maxed

then set the memory on the card

Then max CPU clocks .... watch temps


The nV control panel is a good place to look as well as mentioned above

Force 2 GPU alterante frame rendering .... may help or quad rendering

Then click on my sig and lay down some X3 numbers and see how it stacks up to other similar systems....

once complete run Vantage and see if this advice worked

Good luck

Wow, Sadly I am not sure what all that means. Well I have an idea what it means but I am not sure how to go about doing it.
