Kingfisher Posted December 20, 2008 Posted December 20, 2008 With the same hardware and same overclock I recieved a 10847 in Vista compared to 11271 in XP. The only difference is I went from 2GB to 4GB RAM. I made sure to run 10 hours of stability testing with each of my overclocks in XP and Vista so I know I am stable. Sure 5% is not a big deal but would you folks have any advice on how to increase performance(besides higher overclocks) when running the benchmark in Vista? IOW should I have certain processes turned off or am I being too worrysome? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I did not have to have it for crossfire x and DX10 I would have stayed with XP... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingfisher Posted December 20, 2008 Posted December 20, 2008 Thanks road-runner. My motherboard supports PCI Expressx16 1.0 How much difference would a newer PCI Express 2.0 board help? I am looking at perhaps upgrading to the Q6600 or E8400 wolfy later on in the spring. Since I am married to my current video resolution I don't think I need a second video card. Current PC handles my daily dutites more than adequately but I just love tinkering with my hardware for a cheap price. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think you will really see any difference, not enough to justify buying another MB. Vista just takes more to run it, I always get lower scores with it compared to XP.

hardnrg Posted December 20, 2008 Posted December 20, 2008 Try disabling Indexing and Aero/Sidebar... use "classic" theme (i.e. XP/2000)... that should help Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome to vista world It is perfectly normal to get lower score on 3D mark. btw i got bigger score with my old E5200 @4ghz http://img57.imageshack.us/img57/2898/zleeeel1.jpg Edited January 23, 2009 by edimen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuronin Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 Pfft, Vista is soooo last month, Windows 7 is the cool thing now. At least my 3870 can beat someone's I got 12170 in 06..... Though I do have a quad core..... Why don't you people post your scores in The_Smith's 3DMark competition thread? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
