Deserteagleni Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Hi there, I have built this system and all seemed fine until i upgraded my GFX card and ran some benchmarks (3D Mark 06 and Vantage) and scored rediculously low 14000, which is what i get with my old card (9800GTX) so after messing in bios and other settings etc i bit the bullet and sent my mobo, cpu and video card back to retailer which they have tested and have found no fault and seeing as i did not send my ram they seem to think thats where the problem is . my computer does not crash, lockup or BSOD the only thing i notice is that it runs a little slow and i know its not a slow system :) do you think the tech guy is correct ?

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted August 13, 2009 Corsair Employees Share Posted August 13, 2009 The memory is not going to have any effect on a Video bench mark, are you having a memory problem or just because the test score is low in 3D Mark?

In additon, if you install other memory does the results change? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deserteagleni Posted August 14, 2009 Author Share Posted August 14, 2009 i think i have 2 gig of xms stuff around here somewhere, but will have to wait for my bits to come back, i initially thought it was my mobo cause i have the same problem if i put any gfx card in but will deffo try the other ram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moving from 1 series of card and driver to a new series can sometimes cause issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted August 18, 2009 Corsair Employees Share Posted August 18, 2009 If you have another HDD you might try a fresh install of the O.S. to test if its a driver issue from the previous card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
