Wierd 9800GT Performance!
Posted: Mon Sep 17, 2012 4:59 am
ok, so i have 2 9800gt's in sli and have a very wierd performance issue. i noticed in 3DMark Vantage that as i increase my fan speed my frame increases. so i tested this across a few games. below is a list of FPS from some of my games with the GPU fan off and then at 75%.
Area 51 - fan off 550fps - fan 75% 610fps
Painkiller - fan off 100fps - fan 75% 160fps
Geometry Wars - fan off 132fps - fan 75% 180fps
Clive Barker's Jericho - fan off 134fps - fan 75% 205fps
Dead Island - fan off 63fps - fan 75% 73fps
Battlefield Bad Company 2 - fan off 42fps - fan 75% 48fps
This is my 3DMark Vantage score with fan off:
Overall Score 7913 - GPU Score 8275 - CPU Score 7298
This is my 3DMark Vantage score with fan 75%:
Overall Score 9355 - GPU Score 10256 - CPU Score 7349
I'm confused and after research i have found no one else with the same problem. Any help/ideas?
