    I would drop it to 1025 and raise it by 5's, if 700/1750 turns out stable.

    Everything has been very stable today. I'll try the 700/1750.

    Edit: Nope, driver crash early on.

    Ok lets go "loco" (and go extreme)

    try turn off all the things you got in use on your pc (including all hardware not in use by 3dmark, like wireless, external mouse, usb disk or flash drives etc ) (especially antivirus, firewall, software that defines power saving settings etc etc etc^)

    in the nvidia painel select some settings like :

    maximum pre-render frames 2, extension limit off, threaded optimization off, texture filtering - negative lod bias Clamp, ambiente ocdusion off

    Define high priority to the vatage.exe (in windows task manger)


    (this might be considered cheating, i dont, only if you define the LOD in rivatuner ore similar softwares , that i wold consider cheating so , define in nvidia control panel , "texture filtering - quality" to "high performance")

    Close your explorer.exe before run the vantage test


    Last but most important, cross your fingers... Good luck m8

    Edit: Is there also a special way to link to it? I know if I take the current link it's under my account and no one will be able to see it.

    I've been doing some gaming. Just not as hard core as some here. I prefer pulling my system apart rather than gaming.

    If someone will successfully beat me then I will have a new goal. ;)
