4,440 3dmark score? XPS gen2

post #1 of 6
Thread Starter 
I checked pretty much everythign I could check. First I thought it might be downclocking because of a bad power supply. I checked with programs and my graphics card was clocked right. So I got a new power supply anyways, ran 3dmark05 many times with nothing else open: ~4400. I have upgraded drivers a few times and still get the same scores.

The reason I tested 3dmark 05 in the first places was because I felt a slowdown in WoW. I tested it maybe a month or so before this and got a little under 6k (slightly bios O/C). Both tests were default 3dmark05 tests.



Checked drivers.
Checked temp.
checked graphics card clock
checked 'details' after 3dmark was ran and everything checked out ok
got a new power supply
ran programs to force clock of CPU to stay at 2k
ran 3dmark with no programs open///3d mark with programs that started with computer open
Ran on batteries to see if the proformance was comparable to with A/C and it wasn't.
Checked driver settings for AA and AF and everything was app controled.
Any suggestions?

Re; 4,440 3dmark score? XPS gen2
What driver were you using when you got your high score and have you tried it again? I loaded 80.40s when I first got mine and the scores were below 4800 so I went back to Dell 77.24s and scored 5319. Maybe a dumb ? but have you defragged the harddrive? After many different drivers I stopped at 78.11 because the "random reboots" stopped.
