asus x58 issue?

[tarmc]

I recently swapped out my giggy board for this asus sabertooth x58 and everything seems to be working fine for the most part but when I run 3dmark11 I get horribly low physics & combined scores. any ideas?

forgot to mention its a w3520 cpu @ 4.0 (200x20)
tried with my 920, oc and stock, same problem

Are you using the same memory and uncore settings as well as core clocks on both boards?

 

[tarmc]

tried 2 different memory setups.
6x2g corsair 1600
3x2g corsair 1866 @ 1600
same uncore
the 920 will only oc to 3.8 (19x200) and the w3520 does 4.0(20x200) still tinkering with the w3520 to see how far can push it.

what about HT and turbo settings?

 

[tarmc]

ht enabled, turbo off

it doesn't make a lot of sense, issue with 3dmark maybe? other benchmarks score about the same as did before. ibt is showing slightly lower gflops though?

What are the #'s on the GB vs the Asus ?

Here's one to compare, Sabertooth X58 (1408 bios) with a 950 clocked the same as your 920 (19x200). This is the default benchmark run on the 3dm11 720p . 3 x 4GB RAM @ 600mhz

Looks much closer to the GB on the non video card related scores ( I only have a HD6870)..

Maybe something is up on your config / drivers ?

fresh install, what driver would cause that kind of issue? same shit with an i7 920 @3.8 or a w3520 @4.0
