MSI R6850 low 3dmark06 score

Hey, I build a new PC about a month ago and I noticed that my graphics card isn't reaching it's potential about 16463 3DMarks. I didn't figure out how to put my specs below but I'll post them here.
Motherboard: MSI 785GM-E65 bios version: 2.BO
Processor: AMD phenom 2 x6 1055T 2.8ghz
Memory:
Module 1
2048 MB Kingston DDR3 @ 667 MHz
Module 2
2048 MB Kingston DDR3 @ 667 MHz
GPU: MSI R6850 PM2DIGD5 driver version: 8.801.0.0
At first the results were way worse, I couldn't even play a game like CoD:Black ops, then I noticed the motherboard didn't detect the CPU and gpu decently so I updated the bios and got major improvements. But I have this feeling that something is still not the way it should be and I cannot figure out what it is.
CPU get's detected as 800MHz btw, but I guess that's just AMD's cool & quiet? It's not like I cannot do anything with this score, but if I'm overlooking something here please help.
Thank you in advance.

my 3Dmark 06 score was 17409 and that was with the MSI R6870 Twin Frozr II Radeon HD 6870 1GB 256-bit GDDR5. (single card not in CF).
You have the 6850 (16463 3dmark) vs 6870 (17409 3dmark) and the Screenshot ? HD6850 or  HD6870 ?  (16983 3dmarks). Average to above Average Scores depending on PC System and any OverClocks of CPU.
My old CF setup of HD 3870's 3Dmark 06 High score was (17988 3dmarks).  Meaning 1- HD 6870 is very close to being as good as 2 - HD 3870's in CF.
So imagine what you would be getting with 2- HD 6850's in CF.
My rig:
Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit SP2, Gigabyte GA-X48T-DQ6, OCZ 4GB DDR3 2000MHz, Intel Duo 2 Core E8500 3.16GHz.// FSB@1600 and [email protected] .

  • MSI R6850 PM2D1GD5 Short Test

    Here is my short quick test for the MSI R6850 PM2D1GD5 and my share for the peeps in this forum.
    The videocard’s box is pretty the same with MSI’s 6870 model. Plain and simple but what really stands out for this particular 6850 is its custom cooler. It has two direct heatpipes that dissipates heat straight from the GPU Chip and the fan size used for the cooler is 9cm. Downloading the latest Afterburner in the net will makes this video card perform at par with 6870. Thus, will give end user better value for their money.

  • Low Index Score on Vista

    I just finished installing vista ultimate 64-bit via bootcamp after spending about 2-3 hours hunting for drivers and now everything works! I can even control 2 out of the 4 fans! Now comes the moment to shine--the test. It logged in fine and the test seemed to finish quite fast (under 1 min 30 sec), but the score is only 4.8 with the lowest being my memory... I have a 2.4 GHz, 4GB RAM, 256 Nvidia 8600m gt video card, 160 GB 5400 rpm HD, and the lowest score is my memory? Is anyone else having the same thing happen to them?
    I installed aftermarket memory from Mushkin (2 x 2GB sticks), but I really hope thats not whats putting it down. All in all, vista 64 runs seamlessly and everything is in working order, but I just had to ask out of curiosity. Thanks.

    Yep, it's going to do that with 667MHz RAM (or even with faster 800MHz RAM if the memory controller on your model of Mac doesn't run 800MHz RAM @ full speed).
    Frankly...and this is from quite a bit of experience...don't fret the number. I have machines that are also Intel based and give a lower memory score...but they still smoke my AMD machines that score 5.9 on the Vista RAM test. The Vista system assessment is nifty, but, I wouldn't use it as the end-all, be-all for rating the performance of a computer.

  • MSI R6850-PM2D1GD5 Output Issues VGA vs DVI

    I just recently built a new machine and am having some issues with the MSI graphics card.
    Specifically, the graphics card will output a display to the monitor if I use the supplied DVI to VGA connector and go VGA to VGA with the monitor.  However, if I use a DVI to DVI cable, the monitor will not display anything.  I have not tried to use the display port or the HDMI.
    I spent a good half hour trying to figure out if the cable was a problem and kept installing and removing the MSI card, but it turns out that it does work, just that the DVI to DVI connection isn't working.
    Specs are below
    Motherboard: ASUS P8Z77-V LX
    CPU: Intel i-3600K 3.5 GHz
    Graphics card: MSI R6850-PM2D1GD5
    Memory: 4 x 4GB Kingston  HyperX TI  DDR3-1600
    Hard Drive: Crucial M4 128GB SSD
    OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
    Power Supply: Thermaltake TR2 RX 750W
    CPU Cooler - Antec Kuhler 620
    I have a feeling it may just be a setting on the machine; but it doesn't make sense that the output works with the supplied DVI to VGA connector, but a straight DVI to DVI cable won't display anything on the monitor.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thank

    I've tried two different monitors; both automatically switching/sensing to the input.  I've also tried to do it manually, but still have the same outcome.

    We can't help you. You can contact MSI about it (>>How to contact MSI.<<) still there is most likely none for cards of that generation. You need a HD7xxx or later Radeon for GOP support.

  • MSI R6850 Cyclone edition displaying nothing on screen

    Hi all. Just got my R6850 today and plugged it into my computer got everything connected but when i turn my computer on my Monitor just says "DVI Power saving mode". Ive tried the DVI to VGA adapter but still nothing and my HDMI cable wont go into the HDMI slot on the card. Ive checked the cables and tried taking it out and putting it back in to hope its fixed but still nothing.I did a search on these forums and there was a thread saying it was something wrong with the card but that was back in February and im guessing they would of fixed that. Any help would be awesome as im kinda annoyed its not working. By the way when my monitor says "Power saving mode" thats when there is something connected but theres no picture coming up on the screen.

    Ok sorry ill try and make this more detailed.
    Hi all. I just got my MSI R6850 Power cyclone edition Graphics card. Now i will try and put more detail to this post but i havent had much sleep so sorry if i don't add as much detail as i can. Here goes. The numbers on the back of the Card go as following

    Thats all i could think of. I hope its as much as you need since sleep deprived= me not being as smart as i am and missing stuff out. Now to the problem. So i plugged in my MSI HD6850 Cyclone edition and turned my computer on. Sadly nothing came up on my monitor. Now i had read a thread on the 6850's having this problem but i just bought mine and the thread was back in February so i dont think i have the same cards. Also i got a free copy of Deus Ex:Human Revolution if that helps. Now i dont know if i should send back to Ebuyer where i bought it from or send it in for repairs which is why im here. Once again sorry if this isnt enough details because im so eager to get this card working .

  • MSI R6850 cyclone fake advertisement

    Hello.
    I bought a MSI R6850 cyclone power edition OC and before doing that, several websites (related directly with MSI) said that I would get a free copy of the game DIRT 3. That was one of the reasons why I bought this card, and I feel pretty disappointed with that because I haven't found the way to receive that game so far.
    I changed from Sapphire to MSI because of the great reviews I found about MSI products on guru3D.com, and when Sapphire promised me a free copy of DIRT 2 years ago they kept their word.
    links:
    http://sites.amd.com/us/game/games/Pages/dirt-3.aspx

    Thanks for reading.
    Please excuse me for my broken English, I'm still learning it.

    *Due to regional differences in product and inventory, other application(s) may be bundled with MSI graphics cards. When making a purchase, be sure to select a MSI graphics card box with a "DiRT 3" sticker attached to ensure that the full game activation code for " DiRT 3" is included.
     What I put in above is at the very bottom of the MSI news media link you posted.
     You got one (older stock) without the sticker on the box or the offer simply is not available where you live.
     You need to ask the people at the store where you purchased the card.

  • MSI R6850 PE/OC 1gb

    I live in india and I want to buy msi R6850 PE/OC 1gb ddr5, it is not available at my local dealer, i found it on amazon.com for $173. if i purchase it from there will i get the warranty on the product in india too?

    Most probably no, but ask your reseller

  • MSI R6850 Cyclone PE/OC No signal, loud fan

    I bought an R6850 Cyclone PE/OC and installed it. The first time I booted I got video but my computer froze (I thought, now it seems it just takes a very very long time to POST when I had the DVD drive connected) so I turned it off. The next time I booted (after disconnecting the DVD drive) there was no video and the fan on the card went at full speed but it would boot into Windows.
    At first I thought it was a PSU issue so I changed to a better one (XFX 550W) but it is still the same. I tried with my old card and it works just fine. I've also tried clearing the CMOS, reseated the card, made sure the 6 pin power cable was connected, different DVI outputs but still no video.
    My specs are:
    Motherboard: Acer MCP73VE
    BIOS: American Megatrends R01-C2
    CPU: Intel Core2Duo E4700 2.6ghz
    Memory: 2x1GB DDR2-800
    GPU: MSI R6850 Cyclone PE/OC
    HDD: 500gb WD IDE, 320gb Seagate SATA, 80gb Seagate IDE
    OS: Windows XP Pro 32bit
    PSU: XFX 550W Core Edition +12V~44A, +5V~24A, +3.3V~24A

    Ok, i'm on another PC now and the card is working fine. It must not like the chipset on my old motherboard or something.
    Anyways, the only issues i'm having now are stuttering with some games but I think I can fix that by updating Catalyst.

  • MSI GTX560ti Hawk low 3dmark11 score

    I recently purchased MSI GTX560ti Hawk. I ran 3dmark11 on it and on performance mode, I only got P1650 score. The graphics score is very low and the FPS averaged around 6-7.
    Here is my specs:
    Asus P5Q motherboard
    Gigabyte Odin GT 550w PSU
    Intel Q9550 oc@ 3.67GHz
    Kingston DDR2 2x2GB @ 800MHz
    Intel X25-M 160GB SSD
    MSI GTX560ti Hawk
    I know the package box suggested using a minimum 600W PSU but I managed to boot into windows and play games with my 550W. I can run Assassin Creed Brotherhood and Shogun 2 on very high graphic setting.
    Could the very low 3dmark11 graphics score due to the low PSU power supply? Please help  
    Thanks!

    I just bumped the core voltage up block by block from +0 to +150 on Afterburner 2.2.0 beta 3.
    I tested Heaven DX11 benchmark on all of those voltages and there were artifacts in all of them (running VGA default clocks). But there were less artifacts as the core voltage went up.
    Is my PSU not supplying enough power?

    could be , but basically should be more than enough if the stats can be trusted.
    Test the VGA in another machine[who has a better PSU, with strong single rail] then see how its goes there

    Corsair Value S. PC3200 DDR-DIMM 512MB
    I have run a sandra memory bandwidth test on it and I think he gets really low scores for his spec.
    int buff'd 2657
    float buff'd 2656
    This is the scores he gets un tweaked and not overclocked. Do these sound like reasonable out of the box scores??
    Any information would be appreciated

    not 100% true either beacuse if you then run encoding apps etc which are mem bandwidth dependant the 3C would own. it is not true to say they are not real world results, just games and most apps dont bottleneck on the mem bandwidth.....now that is will be different on 64-bit coding but of course the A64 would still own the 3C on them.
    just for the record i would never buy an intel.

  • Need help... GPU very low benchmark scores... my MSI Board the bottleneck?

    Both the GPU is on a default clock speed.
    Things I also notice
        During benchmark or gaming, GPU2 is 15c hotter
        I experience some glitches during gaming, like in Far Cry 3 the NPC movement goes retarded SOMETIMES (for example when they try to do something, their animation gets glitched and its like they are moving back and forth ultra fast) - have only played the game for 30mins but I could see this happen to NPCs.
        Also in Crysis 2 and Assassin's Creed 3, sometimes the graphics goes retarded like in AC3 the walls and the characters gets rumbled up while in Crysis 2 the graphics gets some artifact - The problem gets solve if I restart the game. It happens sometimes.
    Well I just disabled SLI and tried another benchmark on each card (moving my monitor cable to each GPU)
    Each card averages around 980 Score at Heaven. Ultra Quality and Extreme Tessel at 1080p 8xAA. And I think this is kinda low? Because I saw other people have around 1300 iirc.
    Right now while Heaven is still at the background
    GPU2 TOP
    Graphics  405 MHz
    Memory 324 MHz
    Temp 45c
    GPU1 BOTTOM (Testing this GPU)
    Graphics 1306 MHz
    Memory 3505 MHz
    Temp 72c
    When I tested GPU2 TOP the results are similar except I think GPU1 is around 38c
    Please help me out, what should I do?
    I'm thinking maybe my motherboard is bottlenecking my GPUs? I have OC Genie ON at 4.2Ghz. Using both GPU on the native x16 slots (base on the manual).
    Please help.

    Sometimes a reflash can straighten things out. Recommend to reflash using M-Flash BIOS + ME option with the archive given here;
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=169796.msg1253345#msg1253345
    Re-install the ME driver after the flash.
    What does GPU-Z show for GPU1 and GPU2 for bandwidth? Recommend to place the cooler running card closest to the CPU when running SLI.
    Have you tried each card individually in the PCI-E5 slot as well as in the PCI-E1 slot? If in PCI-E5 both run fine at 8X with no issues noted, you might try another SLI bridge.
    With a Z68 and 2700k, GTX 480's (reference) in Gen2 SLI, 1920X1080, 47X, 1866 RAM, Heaven 4.0 test was 1604, Valley was 2709. With GTX 680's in Gen2 (reference) installed, Heaven was 2554, Valley 4674. There is definately something wrong if those GTX 480's were beating out your GTX 770's.

    I think there is some problem with my configuration, but yet I couldn't find anything.I tried alot of things, checked all drivers they are all up to date.(Via 4in1 drives:latest hyperion thing,NVidia WHQL certf. 40.72. etc..)I enabled fast write, enhanced agp performance control from bios and eveything I know from display settings i.e. Antialiasing disabled, d3d tweaked and still the problem persists.
    I need someone who can help me under these hard and strange conditions.. ?(

    I have to agree with sqersch, I've run at 60 mhz and got way more than 60 fps, refresh rate doesn't have alot to do with card performance.  Sure you get a fps boost when you increase the refresh rate but nothing significant and it certainly doesn't "cap" the frame rate, it can just improve it slightly.  Besides about the only thing you would want to increase the refresh rate for is so that it would be easier on the eyes, (less flicker).  As for the guy complaining about his benchmark, what exactly do you expect to get with an mx version of a geforce 4?  I'm not saying that score isn't wrong, just wondering what score you hope to achieve with an mx card.

    Also, do you know for sure that your pc3200 memory is running at full speed (ie. 400MHz) and is not using some other fsb:mem ratio of 4:3 or 5:4?
    The given score is with every non-essential background process and service diasbled (though it makes very little difference). DRAM is running at 1:1 (ie 400). Tried 5:4 with FSB=230 (max stable at stock voltage). Gains a little (CPU), loses a little (RAM), doesn't make much difference in the end. IOW, everything is running at specs now.
    Also, (to ToxicTaz) it's not a SP.
    I noticed a peculiar thing, though. When I ran Aida and checked video mem speed, it reported, as "actual speed", some odd number quite a bit lower than 850 (something like 736). This is in 2D mode of course (but memory speed should be the same). Anyway, now I cannot duplicate it. Could it be that the memory is stepping down on its own accord? GPU, yes, but I didn't think memory could do that. GPU doesn't get too hot either (~48 deg right after 3dmark3). Is there a way I can check "actual" memory speed during 3D testing, if there is even such a thing?
    Mind you I can OC memory upto 930 OC and it passes nVidia test and seems to be running fine at that. But if it's lowering down behind my back, that would explain it.
