    Thanks... but I do but not run games that high... I run clocks of about (600/900/1500) which is just enough for games and not to worry about the strain on my components.... cause after seeing these forums lately.... lots of 6860FX's have been dying :(

    Also... anyone thought of including 3dMarkVantage in here? Im gonna start testing in that soon....

    Great score terror, just a meager TWO points behind the number two spot, hahah. I might start including pcmark vantage benchmarks, though I'm really unfamiliar with it.

    Resolution is not right tough, for default scores you should change it to 1280x1024, imo.

    I've hit a snag.....I used to be able to score as high as 11929 on 3DMark06 on Vista 64bit but after a fresh install of Win7 and updating to latest official nvidia drivers (186.61 IIRC), I can only score as high as 3828!!! I've been experimenting with 710/950/1800 (core/shader/mem) at present. 11929 was achieved with 710/929/1790.

    Powermizer is disabled and power plan is set to maximum. Please advise.

    It sounds to me (and I'm no genius) that if you achieved 11929 on Vista with other drivers, then installed Win7 and upgraded to 186.61 IIRC drivers and can only achieve 3828, you might want to change the drivers back to what you had before and run again for comparison. That's what I would do first. IMO :)

    I bet I could make top 3 (6860) if I benchmarked.

    I should try.

    Thats in the ballpark of completely stock units(no OC's, UV's, etc..) right out of the box. See my sig for mine. Also, does that score reflect no OCing of GPU or Undervolting of the CPU as in your sig?
    If your score reflects using OC and UV then you may want to revert back to normal(out of box)modes to see what your Baseline is and it will give you a good indication as to what each mod does for you. If it doesn't get you the results you wanted, try another mod, driver or setting instead. 'Course you probably already know this, but others that view may not. ;)

    if the undervolt is unstable, you will lose cpu points it. I recommend only undervoling the 6x multiplier...

    The Undervolt seems stable. Ill try increasing voltage to stock and see what difference it makes. The drivers are all the most current ones. And the GPU is overclocked.


    EDIT: i was running 3DMARK06 in the native res.. got to stop it down some.. then ill see how it does.

    About 600 Points, Im still playing with it. I just got home from work so Im going to go back at it. But Id rather have less heat that 600 Points.

    I really want to get 10k Stock but i doubt its going to happen. But i'm close.

    also all you need to do is when you run benchmarks like 06 you bring your volts back to normal...

    with a stock 7805 10k points is possible, but youll have to work for it, gotta experiment and tweak things just right. where are those benchmarks, lhykan?! I wanna see someone knock Kamin off of his throne.

    My 3DMark wouldn't let me see the numbers. I also said I think I'd make it in the top 3. Not top top!

    It wanted me to view them online, but wouldn't show them... so I uninstalled it. :(
