    Hi all, just got my Clevo d901c with quad core and 9800m gt SLI. Im running Vista 64 and the first time i tried 3dmark 06 with basics drivers i got a score of 14500 (about). Now i use much more recent drivers and my score seems to change everytime...from 13300 to 14000. I tried the old drivers then (with driver cleaner) and it still does the same thing :(

    Is it normal ? or is there something i should worry about ? I just find it weird...a 1000 points different is huge but well....waiting for your advices :)

    Subject Up !

    Weird...i dont know but i did a clean install of VISTA 64 and i put stock drivers.

    3d mark gave me a 13800 score and then i just pushed the button again and i got a 14200 score...

    I suppose SLI does not give the exact same score al the time...well who knows.

    That's perfectly normal. It is extremely unlikely that you would have the same score twice in the row. Expect a range of 500 points or so generally. Your 9262's perfectly fine.

    Tell you what, my setup managed a 7400 score one time with the improper drivers...
    Usually get below 11k since I have a lower end dual core...

    Your scores are perfectly normal.
    It`s the gaming results that count...

    Max supported CPU is the X9000, at 3.4
    I didn`t find a reason to justify the 400$ price tag for it, so I stuck to my T8300.
    It does the job, just wish I could OC it a bit...
