Very Low 3DMark Vantage CPU Score (E8400 @ 4 Ghz)

[djnsmith7]

As the title reads, I'm trying to figure out why my CPU score is so low compared to others.


3DMark Score: P11391 (very low)

CPU Score: 7143 (very low compared to others)
SpeedStep is Disabled, as well as C1E

Graphics Score: 14207 (seems to be on par w/ other 5850's)

The initial comparisons I looked at were not from the 3DMark site, so I've made some changes to my post.

However, there are several CPU scores which are higher than mine with very similar OC's.

Are the higher scoring setups running Nvidia graphics cards?

 

[djnsmith7]

There's a good mix of both ATI & Nvidia systems that scored higher than mine @ ~4 Ghz. How & why would that affect the CPU score?

I think it has alot to do with the drivers, i see alot different scores with same cpu's.

I even seen same cpu and video cards and be about 3000 points different between cpu/gpu
