Low PCmark7 score on HD 6850

[wannabgeek]

Hi just installed new powercolor HD6850 card but seems the benchmark score on pcmark7 is only 1095! Whereas the majority of these cards with same cpu and mobo (sig below) are in the region of 2500 upto 4222. Any ideas why this could be ps?

Have a look at the core clock / memory clock on your screen-shot - 100Mhz / 150MHz!! For some reason the card isn't coming out of idle state when you run the program (unless that reading is wrong, of course...). Check your power settings, control centre settings etc. to see why it's remaining in idle clocks for 3D loads... Also download a monitoring programme (not sure what works on Radeon cards, but I've used MSI Afterburner to monitor an ASUS 8800GTX before!) to check the speeds and load put on the card whilst the test is running...

Thanks for that quick reply. I will run another benchmark as i feel my pc was in sleep mode before i ran the test which may be cause..

Still poor, 3dmark is giving me p3405 where as the lowest results with same system is over 4000. Also the core/memory clock scores are the same as before. Ive also checked power settings and they are on high performance! Could it be something in the bios? I have a asus board. Thanks

Are the other systems running at the same speed? Quite often people crank up the mhz.
Drivers?
Virus checker?
Is it your card and do they segment card vs GPU. are these lower.

I assume this is the updaet of 3dmark11?

Thanks for the help. I think you maybe right, looking at other results the core/mem clocks are at 0mhz (mine was 100/150mhz on each tests) I Just had a quick game of deus ex on ultra settings which stutter a bit but ATI tray tools is showing core/memory clocks @750/1000 and FPS at 62 so does this seem ok to you?

ps note: The result page are also saying my newest ATI 12.1 drivers are unsupported which may be the cause of low score/s.
