Are we talking the war phase here now?

 

Because I'm sure there are plenty of measures you can take to get a little more out of your score if you want to put in the effort.

Restarting can't hurt.

I will run some bench scores once I get the 2 PCs setup the way I need them, with that said lets be sure I am right about what Im setting up. 1 E6600 with a 8800 vid card and a E6320 I think it is with a X1650 vid card these are both different cpu's and vid cards so should be good to go ? Oh and both are water cooled unless we need one to be air cooled *shrug* and can we have more then 2 PCs entered, or only if we dont get to 20 machines ? :ph34r:

It's all down to research or hard graft I reckon.

Certain drivers on certain cards will work well with certain benchmarks.

 

Windows tweaks like shutting down non-essential services will probably help.

That's the sort of thing you can easily google a guide for. There might even be the odd one floating around here, but it would probably be out of date.

I hope they do not say "You cannot upgrade" as we have already supposedly got that clear. I guess I will only have one rig as I do not have another decent video card but if it comes down to I will bench with something I guess...
