Directx 9 low results

[Leewicks]

Hi people,

Just a quick question as to whether there are many people having issues with there DX 9 results? My results are all coming through fine except for these. Drivers for my graphics cards are up to date.

Basic system as follows :-

Windows 10.
i5 2500k,
16gbs 12800 ddr3,
Samsung SSD evo 250gb, WDC 931gb, Sandisk ultra plus 256gb,
z77 extreme4 MB.
GTX 780 Sli

Any help would be much appreciated with the strange issue that I'm having,

Regards,

Lee

And what is the benchmark result?

See this post to start with.

The screen shot is a bit hard to read. So I still don't know what the score is.
Are you sure the test isn't running on the integrated video card?

Hi David,
Sorry didn't realise it would come out that small. Im not currently at my PC but my 3D score was just over 5000 compared to similar PCs (same chipset, ram etc) and they score well over 8000.
My intergrated card is disabled and I've been through the steps you suggested in your link already. I was wondering if it's anything to do with sli as I know that passmark doesn't use benchmark sli configurations. Or more the nvidia drivers do not support passmark.
Thanks for response,

Regards,

Lee

We do in fact support SLI and Crossfire.

See this page for example SLI benchmarks.
But the boost depends on your drivers, hardware and SLI settings. Some combinations of SLI setups can hurt performance (see the link above for an example).

Cheers David,

Last time I ran the benchmark Sli wasn't utilised (quite some time ago). I'll have a look at my settings for Sli and see if It makes a difference.
