eVGA GTX 690 and low 3dmark 11 scores?

[gothuevos]

Hey I realize it's just a number but I seem to be getting scores that seem a bit low compared to what I'm seeing around the internet.

Generally scoring 13600s on default peformance/benchmark mode. Rest of specs are as follows:

i5 2500k @ 4.6
8GB RAM
eVGA GTX 690 w/ ver. 301.42 drivers
Win 7 64 bit

All other drivers, etc are up to date. This is with v-sync forced off in nvidia control panel, set to max performance mode, etc.

You can update the drivers to beta 306.02 and try again. What is your full score? Like your graphics score? You don't have hyperthreading on a 2500K so the physics score is a little lower than a 3770K or 2011 Socket I7's . Just give us a detailed score list. My SLI 680's stock with a 2500K at 4.2 did : P. Overall 13378, Graphics 18812,Physics 7224, Combined 7084

Thanks.

Overall: 13708

Graphics score: 17703
Physics score: 8303
Combined score: 8023

Was wondering if the lack of HT on the i5 would lower numbers. Again, hate to get caught up in what is overall probably a meaningless synthetic number, but when you drop a chunk of change, you'd like to know if it's working right!

Looks normal.

Yes, lack of HT does lower your overall score. You should look at graphics score only which appears in-line with what it should be.
