| ok it's an ECS P4M900T-M with an VIA P4M900 chipset.
As I clock the CPU higher my 3dmark score seems to be going up overall. For instance when I put the 8800 in it jumped to 30273 at the stock cpu speed of 3.2 ghz and now at 3.6ghz its up to 30608. But it seems like with the cpu overclocked the best speed i can get from overclocking the gpu is worse.
So that with the cpu at stock 3.2ghz and the gpu at 660mhz i get 30273 but if i bump the gpu to to 685mhz i get 31426.
However if i bump the CPU to 3.5 ghz with the gpu at 660 i get 30538 but then if i bump the gpu to 703 mhz i get 30971!
How can the score be worse with a higher cpu and gpu speed? I am still under 55c and throttlewatch doesn't report any throttling.
Update: at 3.6ghz with a 660mhz gpu i get 30608 but if i go to 685 mhz on the gpu i actually go down to 30594?
