Benchmark Disappointment

[Zebo]

Blah no biggie...I hardy ever read those things cover to cover... but for a first timer it's pretty important and much value can be had.

Check out sections starting in chapter 5 with 5.1 "installing the operating system"

Someone suggested to install the video driver last. What I do is I make a ghost image of the fresh installation wihtout SP pack ore anything else. If I make something the sstem doesn;t like, I restore the image and try again

Yeah I would uninstall the video drivers and teh via, then reapply the via drivers first. The display drivers should almost go in last.

I applied the 4.51 via drivers after everything else, and my scores went up a LOT !

i have noticed MANY people these days ignoring the installation of motherboard drivers-->Why is this!?!

 

[Fuchs]

true true, chipset goes on first

I went ahead and updated the VIA driver and of course it worked. The change was like night and day, and then night and day again.

New Benchmarks:

Final Fantasy 11: 7698 (High) 8286 (Low)
