hmm. im skeptical about the accuracy of this result. not bc of your computer but the program.

your Cloud Gate scores says 27.5, but mine is only 19.9. then your Fire Strike says 10.4 but mine is only 6k. i cant imagine that your CPU is the only difference. We both have the same generation, same clock speed, but yours has 2 extra cores.

Well if you are running an i7-920 compared to my i7-990X that's probably why, there is a lot of CPU intensive stuff going on and the extra cores is probably why. You said in a previous post the combined test was slower on yours? Mine was pretty smooth, some slow down, but not choppy by any means.

so the 2 extra cores accounts for 4400 point difference? im still skeptical.

yeah, the combined test kills my machine. best i could do on it was like 11fps. cant remember the exact score right off.

The i7-920, only has 8mb cache, 4,8GT/s QPI speed with 4 cores and 8 threads

Mine has 12mb cache 6 cores, 12 threads, 6.4GT/s QPI speed, I just ran the tests again, here is the 2nd result.

Score looks fine to me - it's very similar to my score of 27.4 and I have a similar graphics setup and similar CPU (mine has less cores but is clocked higher). The only score that looks unusual is the first one, which seems to be a bit on the low side. If you're getting lower scores then it sounds like the problem is at your end - probably drivers or CPU.

So far i've ran 3 different test.

First one is using 13.1 release drivers.

http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/247514

Second is using 13.2 beta 6 drivers.

http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/250162

3rd is crossfire 7870 using 13.2 beta 6.

http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/254583

The biggest difference is using crossfire on Fire Strike.

I still cant find out why it's only 1599mhz for the processor clock. All my bio settings are on default with no OC'ing.

Is it only 1599MHz on 3DMark or the same in CPU-Z too ?

If only 3DMark, don't worry about it, my RAM gets reported wrongly too, along with other things like my 0nm CPU

Also, do you have power saving enabled to clock your CPU down on idle?

In CPU-z it stays at 1599mhz until i start doing something like opening firefox or running a game.

I haven't checked to see if i got power savings enabled.

Edit: I just checked power savings, an it's disabled.

If it is clocking down when its idle, and clocking back up when you're using the machine, then it sounds definitely like a power saving option is enabled, maybe in the BIOS (C&Q or Speedstep) iirc

Nothing to worry about, saves you power and keeps it cool, and will clock to full speed when it's needed, I disable mine for OC stability

Looks good to me, you beat my scores by quite a bit

Which seems a little odd, since it's beating my scores also, he has a single 7950, which is beaten by a single GTX680. yet I have (2) GTX680's in SLI and he's ahead on the first test both graphics and physix

If it makes you happy, i'm beating his first secores. :)

    • Steam Next Fest returns with thousands of new demos to try out

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Steam Next Fest returns with thousands of new demos to try out by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Valve has been routinely kicking off demo festivals on Steam for years now, and the second drop of 2026 has just opened its doors. It's a great opportunity for any PC gamers to find some interesting games before they release. The June edition of Steam Next Fest is a week-long digital festival including gameplay slices from a large number of indie developers, though a few major publishers are involved this time too. Interested players can use the Next Fest hub page's various sorting and filtering options to easily sort through the hordes of demos available. The top buttons offer quick access to separate and important sorting options, including "By Genre, By Theme, By Feature," with each one offering more granular settings when clicked. At the same time, the built-in Steam tags system is also available below every page to discover new games more quickly. As always, logging in will also enable Steam gamers to utilize Valve's recommendation algorithms to find game demos they might like, specifically, depending on their past play and purchase histories. This time there is even a toggle now to swap between getting a random and personalized selection as Valve collects more data on the available demos. The Charts section is where you can find the most popular demos on the platform right now, offering up the most hyped titles in a simple list. Right at the kickoff, Mistfall Hunter, Empulse, Echoes of Aincrad, Onimusha: Way of the Sword, Over the Hill, Mortal Shell II, and more are trending. Expect this list to change as the week progresses. This edition of the Steam Next Fest is slated to end on June 22 at 10 AM PT. Valve's latest event is now open, and it can be accessed by going to the dedicated hub page here.

      I lived and breathed MSN Messenger/Windows Live Messenger. Going to the mess.be website (still online with no changes since 2013) to download display pictures etc. I was a beta tester for Messenger Plus! and spent quite a lot of time on the MsgPlus! forums (a read-only copy is still online at https://shoutbox.menthix.net) Some old Neowin articles also https://www.neowin.net/news/messenger-plus-350/ good times but how time flies The main developer of Messenger Plus!, Cyril aka.

      Well i'll look into a docking station if needed and use that.    Normally i don't usually have all the drives connected at once,  usually once a month to sync the latest files, and then they go back in there storage area
