Hi. I managed to pull 5206 3dmarks with my current system. Does this seem a little bit low? My games (BF2142, CSS, Lock On Modern Air Combat) don't seem to run as fast as they should. I've tried all kinds of drivers for my video card, all of them with around the same result...I also ran the CSS Video Stress Test, these are my results:

Low settings - 1024x768 - 140.65 FPS - No AA or AF
High settings - 1280x1024 - 141.14 FPS - No AA or AF <<<< This makes no sense when compared with 1st one.
High settings - 1280x1024 - 137.40 FPS - 4XAA, No AF

Thanks

P.S., I have a 650W Antec Trio PSU so I dont think its a power problem. My card also idles around 46-54 degress

Hi Ace,

Let me move you to the games area, because I know video cards, but gaming is not an area of interest to me. However, those guru's over there know more about the games that you are speaking about, so hang on and will tranfer you over there now.

**pharoah** · 01-29-2007, 06:57 PM

list your full system specs something else may be the bottleneck.

Ace101 · 01-29-2007, 08:31 PM

Full System Specs:

Dell Deminision E521 ( http://www.dell.com/content/products...=19&l=en&s=dhs )
AMD 64 X2 4200+ 2.2 ghz
2 Gig RAM (not sure about speed, i think 533 or w/e it is)
eVGA 7950GT KO 512MB PCI-E x 16 Video Card (560mhz/1.45ghz)
250GB HD
Dell Motherboard, OCT103 is the model
Win XP Media Center Edition

At first I was only get around 109-110 in Video Stress Test, and around 5150 3dmarks. Then I realized I didnt install my moniter drivers. I installed those the the Video Stress Test went up bout 20-30 FPS, but BF2142 still doesnt run too good. IDK what it is...

**pharoah** · 01-29-2007, 09:31 PM

ok i looked at your computer on dell's site.couple questions it has 3 graphics options available.when you removed the card if it had one did you uninstall it.if it had integrated graphics have you disabled that.

Ace101 · 01-30-2007, 01:26 PM

This is a brand new computer so I just installed my 7950GT in it. I thought the integrated one automatically disables. I remember someone tellling me to do that. When I tried, like I couldn't select disable for some reason. What is the procedure for doing that?

**pharoah** · 01-30-2007, 01:51 PM

it is possible that it auto diabled if it wont let you change that in the bios.which driver version are you useing.take a lon at this http://www.techsupportforum.com/hard...a-drivers.html

Ace101 · 01-30-2007, 02:37 PM

I had the 93.71 drivers. I just uninstalled them and went into VGA mode (somthing I did not do b4) and installed the drivers that came on my disk (The 91.47). I reran 3dmark06 and got a score of 5221. Should I now uninstall these and install the 93.71 drivers in VGA mode? I don't know if it will help.

**pharoah** · 01-30-2007, 04:30 PM

give these a try

Ace101 · 01-30-2007, 04:59 PM

Ive already tried them, says it doesn't support my card.

yes give that a shot,and see what happens

Ace101 · 01-31-2007, 02:45 PM

I installed 93.71 drivers and got a 5194 score in 3dmark06...Does that still seem low? Maybe I need to Overclock my card?

Indoril Nerevar · 01-31-2007, 03:39 PM

5200 in 3DMark06 with a single 7950GT is not low. I have the following specs:

AMD Athlon64 X2 5200+
Asus Crosshair
1GB Corsair DDR2-800 (would have 2GB, but one stick was dead)
2x 7800GTX's in SLI

I score 7300 in 3DMark06. So with a single 7950GT, 5200 seems a pretty fair score to me. I'd love to see what you got if you put a second card in.
