My scores testing overclocking:

370/1.0 = ~11,200
400/1.1 = ~11,400
420/1.1 = ~11,400

Resolution too low? 3DMark useless? What's up?

Specs:

BFG 6800GT OC
3.06 P4 @ 146x23 (3358 MHz)
1024 GB Corsair PC3200 @ 2-2-3-5
Audigy 2
Abit IC7-G

Not enough data to compute what you are saying, I'm guessing you have a BFG 6800gt oc since you have 370/1.0. Next we will look at the score seems that they are in fact increasing and not deminishing. The next thing is your processor speed, 4 mhz? I am thing that you may be cpu limited. But just a guess.
 
Yeah you are probably going to have to provide some realistic system specs / settings for people to get an idea where and why you are at those numbers.

I don't see any image quality problems or studdering of frames. I seems to run just fine. I believe I was also seeing higher framerates in rdrithbl (or whatever it's called).
 
in economics, law stating that if one factor of production is increased while the others remain constant, the overall returns will relatively decrease after a certain point. Thus, for example, if more and more laborers are added to harvest a wheat field, at some point each additional laborer will add relatively less output than his predecessor did, simply because he has less and less of the fixed amount of land to work with. The principle, first thought to apply only to agriculture, was later accepted as an economic law underlying all productive enterprise. The point at which the law begins to operate is difficult to ascertain, as it varies with improved production technique and other factors. the law first came under examination during the discussions in England on free trade and the corn laws. It is also called the law of decreasing returns and the law of variable proportions.


yeah, I know a little, didn't notice the returns part in his title, my bad, just a misread.
 
the law is "diminishing marginal returns," but a lot of people make a mistake and call it diminishing returns.
