3D Mark Firestrike Benchmark

For some unexplained reason it's barking about my graphics driver. I don't know why, since I'm using AMDs latest driver.

So I guess maybe @Dude shouldn't update till I get this figured out.

Anyone have any ideas?

That's nothing new. Newly released AMD (and NVidia) drivers tend to make 3DMark bark. Nothing new. I've had this a few times myself.

Try using a older Nvidia driver, I'm not fimilar with AMD ....but if you run Nvidia drivers, you can d/l older releases from their web site. Also use DDU in Safe Mode to remove existing drivers.

hmm I'd rather stick with the latest. I guess they need to update 3DMark.

It was just updated about a week ago....I posted it.

hmm why do they still have that error then.

I've been running it for last 3 or 4 days, and I have never seen that error. Actually, I've never seen that error EVER on my rig.
You have something messed up on your rig, what it is I have no idea.

run some system checks for starters, like SFC and Dism and see if they pass, then if they do, clean install Nvidia drivers again. .....just don't install it over existing drivers .

If you haven't yet, check out this page, where I posted the latest versions of 3D Mark ....see if yours is up to date.

Be aware Nick was also having BSOD's from memory issues so.... BSOD when XMP Is Enabled. The post hasn't been marked solved so who knows.

Anyway, messing around with some slight overclocks - auto on the CPU, manual on the GPU this is my Firestrike Extreme score...

Tried to get it to 13,000 but Firestrike balked at pushing the card too hard. Will have to give it another go at a later date.
