Everything set to performance, yes. No triple buffering, and AA and AF set to 2x instead of app. settings. Is app. settings lower than 2x?

Looking in Afterburner I can see both cards clocked up like they're supposed to be and working in unison.

I'll disable crossfire and test, and also try with triple buffering. Be right back.

Thanks.

Set AA and Af to app settings and don't use diag. mode. make sure your startup cpu cores in msconfig and set correctly.

Startup cpu cores in msconfig? I am using Tiny7 btw.

EDIT: App settings, selective startup(startup items disabled), triple buffering enabled and I got 72000 points. Disabling CFX now and run again.........35,580 woth CFX disabled.

Still stumped about how I could be losing 37000+ points. Guess I'll be saving the LN2 until tomorrow.

You forgot the GPUz tab in your screenshot.

I do not think you should run diagnostic mode in Vista/7.

Are you using 1 or 2 CF bridges and have you tried swapping them out? Maybe one is damaged.

The cards were at 998/1097. I only use 1 CFX bridge, the other spot is for another card but I could try another bridge I have 3 long ones. I'll try a different one in a little while when I get back

I am currently using selective startup with startup items disabled.

EDIT: all tested with a different bridge, and with 2 bridges. Each test got me 72000 and change. This is BS that my system is not giving me anywhere close to what it should be....at leat with 03. Trying 05 and 06 again.

WOOOT!!! 109,000 points.

I turned off Afterburner and ran 3dmark in realtime. Might be getting somewhere now. I tried realtime before and I didn't notice any difference. I thought Afterburner only made a fairly small difference. Hmmmmmm....I still have 2 bridges on there, I'm gonna have to take 1 off now to see again.

Thanks for the suggestions brothers.

once you go into the cpu test..you can cancel out and get your results from there...

[Neuromancer]

np, I always ran 2 bridges but never knew if it was necessary or not (I have heard both)

realtime might have been the difference maker

What do you mean ...I don't have to do the cpu tests?

[Hondacity]

yes for 03 n 05
