*The Official Tech-Forums 3DMark 11 Rankings*

I moved your screenshot to your post above. If your going to enter the contest you want your base score to be low and your overclocked gpu score to be high.

I need to overclock the gpu as well ? I think I know it will hit 833mhz like galaxy told me over the weekend but thats all it will do.

When you overclock it to run 3DMark 11 try turning off everything you don't need to run the system (Anti-virus, startup apps, etc...). I used to keep a list of everything I disabled so I didn't forget to turn it back on, but after doing this stuff a kazillion times I've got it memorized.

Everything is shut down, Ntune flat out told me the over clock will not work past 700mhz.
Thats my final score man, thats the best I can do.

Try a better overclocking tool Mike. Afterburner or Precision should let you go farther.

EDIT: Bump

P2,213 | Abstract Hero | PII 955BE @ 3.68Ghz | GTS 450 @ 950/1000/1900 | W7 x64 |ORB

That's a really poor difference for an over 100Mhz OC. Anyone agree?


EDIT: Should we be putting the memory speed at its double data rate?

I didn't know I wasn't updated. If I need to be, I will redo this later since I have so much going on right now.

This is my best attempt atm. Okay my new entry after oc on vram.

Push the memory at least up to 1k.

Push the memory at least up to 1k.

Thanks for the suggestion. Worked like a charm. How much would 100mhz on the cpu help my score? Just wondering if its worth the time.

If you can do it and stay within the safe temps and voltage zones and you have it stable then... yea it is worth the time. Every little bit helps and plus OC'ing is fun

You won't see major improvements 100mhz at a time though. But I would guess your score of 3839 might jump to 3900. Maybe less of a jump. I am not sure. I know with 3dmark06 even the smallest increase made the score jump quite a bit because it was so cpu biased. Since 3dmark11 is still a synthetic benchmark I would imagine it would still be noticeable in the score.
