blowntaha Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I did a lot of googling, finding mixed answers. 1. Anyone else finding low benches, specifically 3DM11, on Windows 10 Tech preview? I have a 3920XM @ stock () & GTX 970 via PE4L (swapping w/ PE4C tomorrow). I get max 12642 (14910 GPU score) on Win 8.1, and 11800-12000 on Win 10. Is this because of funky OS/driver/OS-incompatibilities or is my install corrupt (I have done some things.... but it's been like this since before that)? These benches are both of similar clocked setups. 2. Is it better to have my integrated gpu, intel HD 4000 completely disabled, along with discrete GPU, or better to have the HD 4000 initialized first (and then have it crash/disabled in device manager for some odd reason after boot)? My external monitor is connected via eGPU hdmi. -Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dschijn Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 That is low to you? ^^I would say that is within the normal variation. I bet it is more or less just the GPU driver not optimized for Windows 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet it is more or less just the GPU driver not optimized for Windows 10.Low as in 1k less than the win 8.1, anything beyond 8k still seems high to me LOL; before eGPU, I was getting ~3.8 (stable) -4ks (lucky if I made it through the 2nd test w/o a GPU hang..) on my pos/probably-dead 660m. Although, I did have fun upping it to 2.212 volts.Thanks for the quick reply, I will trust your opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dschijn Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Well, your graphics score has a 600 point difference, that can be the driver.More important is your physics score, that has a 850 point difference. That can be:- anti virus program- any other program putting a (small extra) load on your system- a already warm system, which doesn't give the CPU much "room" to keep the boost clock speed- Windows energy saving settings prevent the CPU from boosting to 100% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tech Inferno Fan Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 3dmark11 sees different scores between Win7 and Win8.x. It stands to reason then that Win10 will also see variation there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
