Heres my results,i7 3820@ stock, small overclock on ati 5850, ICESTORM 121387, CLOUDGATE 16861, FIRESTRIKE 3232. http://tinypic.com/r/2a98dhg/6
score with valid drivers. Couldn't seem to run 64 bit without crashes until i removed vituamvp Ice: 172214 Cloud: 25432 Fire: 7419 http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/164922
I will give them a try later when I can be arsed installing them. It has to be said that my Fire Strike performance is piss poor... barely better than an ATI 5850. I should be getting closer to 4K.
just done my acer laptop, again drivers not approved ice storm - 36847 gpu not supported for fire strike
I've given up. crashes every time, says " windows lost focus" I have had a hunt about and it says that some thing in the background is running... Buggered if I can work out what !!
I don't understand why you need the beta drivers just for 3d mark, they should make it compatible with CCC 13.1 as well. As it stands with 13.1 I can get 6042 on my sig rig.
fire strike 5981 with updated beta drivers single card still refuses to run in sli thats with everything at stock May up the cpu and see how much it can improve.
Still can't this to work with SLI. It's mainly the first test that seems dodgy. With SLI disabled, I get this... As soon as I enable SLI it drops to 35,000 or so
You still have the 310 drivers, run the 313 betas, ensure you uninstall the originals first before updating.
Its just been launched why would you expect drivers delivered way before launch to support it? None of the drivers specifically mention support for it on NV side, i'd imagine a new release will drop with proper support.
OK.. Beta drivers seems to improve things.... I can run SLI now anyway. Still very glitchy. Not overclocked the GPUs yet... seems incredibly flaky when I OC.

Benchmark seems to benifit AMD alot more than Nvidia right now. as 1 7970 scores nearly 2.7k more points than the highest ive been able to see one of my 680s run. And in real world scenarios the gap is maybe 1-2 fps each way in certain games hmm. Also not seen anyone else break 7k with a 680. Even 2 670s in sli only scored 10k above which is 1.3k above what a single 7970 scores? Something feels very broken.
