[OLD VERSION] loss of efficacy in HD 6850?

[ShakMR 0]

Hello, everyone. I thing I have a problem with my Sapphire Radeon HD 6850. I run the first benchmark en March and 4 month later in July the score in the Graphics Test is much lower than then.

Has someone the same problem as I? Can it be fixed or something, or is due of the graphic card?

The first test:

Microsoft Windows 7 Professional Intel Core i5-2500 3.30GHz running at 3301 MHz AMD Radeon HD 6800 Series GPU 8175 MB System RAM (Score: 206) - RAM Speed: 14140 MB/s CPU Tests (Score: 467) - Floating Point Operations/Second: 102682836 - Integer Operations/Second: 412076416 - MD5 Hashes Generated/Second: 1157265 Graphics Tests (Score: 566) - 3D Frames Per Second: 1540 Hardware Tests (Score: 35) - Primary Partition Capacity: 259 GB - Drive Write Speed: 159 MB/s

Test run on March 5, 2012 at 15:24

Here the second one:

That is a significant drop. Is it consistent across multiple tests?

Is the card getting sufficient power? Check the power connections or your PSU. Another possibility is that your card got disabled and you are actually using your motherboard's integrated graphics, and Novabench is reporting the wrong GPU name.

Why is mine so low any idea admin 3570k with intergrated graphics is like 1600 LOL

[Nathan 73]

Yeah that's very low for that CPU. Have you tried running the test multiple times to confirm it stays low?

OK I think I have found the issue.

I had the same loss as you, look in my profile to see results. I then had the idea of what could be using the processing power of both? ATI Catalyst Control Center. I went and disable it from start up and my score almost tripled.

Try disabling CCC from start-up and then report back please.
