cbjaust Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Has anyone been able to get PCMark05 to give a score with the Aero interface on? The 3D test don't run when the Aero interface is on for me. They run fine with the Windows 7 Basic theme but then the 2D Transparent windows score suffers a lot so while I can get a score with it the Basic theme load it scores poorly. In the full aero mode the bench fails to run the 3D tests. I get the same slow 2D transparent windows in Windows Server 2003 which is my other operating system. Hardware is Athlon 6000+ and Radeon 4870 1GB. As an aside, my old GeForce 8800 GTS 640 does not have the slow 2D transparent windows test problem that the Radeon has and indeed I have not been able to better my 8800 GTS 640 PCMark05 score with the 4870. It's 8101 vs 7895 so far. Anyone had similar issues or found a way to get it work properly? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbjaust Posted May 14, 2009 Author Share Posted May 14, 2009 (edited) Yep, as I said the GeForce works OK but still the 2D Windows test is slow in Windows 7 for me. However I am more concerned with getting the bench working properly with the ATI 4800 series (my 4870 1GB in particular) Plus I'd like to see your score with a regular rotating hard drive These are in Windows Server 2003 x86: G80 8800 GTS 640 http://www.hwbot.org/result.do?resultId=773026 (8101 Marks) RV770 HD 4870 1GB: http://www.hwbot.org/result.do?resultId=852755 (7895 Marks) and here is an analysis of the above results: so you can see the 2D tests on the 4870 get pwned by the 8800 GTS on Server 2003 x86. In Windows 7 I can run all the individual tests, just not together in the one run - so no score, but the 2D windows result improves a lot and the Graphics memory test is improves as well and is unaffected by the theme settings so I guess that something. Cheers Edited May 14, 2009 by cbjaust add links to results Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cbjaust Posted May 21, 2009 Author Share Posted May 21, 2009 Hi can you guys please tell me how you got PCmark05 running on Win7 RC coz i can't seem to get it working. Run as administrator? Have you also installed the Futuremark hotfix? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crew Strunkenbold Posted August 9, 2009 Crew Share Posted August 9, 2009 I wonder how you can obtain a score on an 64Bit system, as 3dmark05 doesnt accept 64bit media encoder and the 32bit one wont install... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
