Weird annomoly with 3DMark2k1 and overclocking
Ok, the deal is I'm pushing my 9500np to 430+ mhz on the core. Well, 3DMark2k3 works absolutely fine when I push the mhz up to 440. But 2k1 doesn't show any increase in score when I push the card over 400mhz....... I can keep getting score increases in 3dmark2k3 but 2k1 gives me decreases at the same speeds......... What gives? I mean, it doesn't lock up in either benchmark. Truthfully, the further I push the card in 2k1 the worse my score gets. And on the contrary, the harder I push 3DMark2k3 the higher my score goes.....
 WTF is up? Anyone have a clue? I'm using the Omega 3.7s although I doubt that matters. |

You're?
But that still doesn't make sense dude, it's not like I'm runnig at like 300mhz..... 2363mhz..... I can't be CPU limited... That makes no sense as to why my card scores better when clocked lower....... |

Now I have a hard time hitting 18k, when I do bench it goes betwee 177xx and 18k..... But I can't get back over 18k, and the card before the vmod did 18069...
Well, the card scored 181xx somethign a while ago at 400/310...... I didn't save it though cuz I thought I could go higher, but I never have gotten 181xx again..... But with 2003 my score consistently goes up as the clock speeds go up.... |

that seems within the margin of error. Maybe someone else would know more.

So it's perfectly normal that when I overclock my card my 2k1 score DECEASES and my 2k3 score inscreases? I don't think so.

Heat? I have an AMD stock heatsink on the card, the air blowing out isn't that warm, hell, my slk800 is way hotter than the heat sink on the vid card. But I can run it over and over at 400+ mhz on 2k3 and get no lockups. And I can also run it over and over on 2k1 with no lockup. But the scores just don't go up proportionately on 2k1...... WERID.
