Horrible Graphics Results Using SPECapc
Horrible Graphics Results Using SPECapc
(OP)
We have four XI workstations that are exactly the same. The same video cards and CPU, etc. When I perform the SPECapc benchmark test on all of them they all average 300 seconds. One of the WStations however results in 1400 seconds, most of that time falling under the graphics section of the test. Any idea what could be causing such a horrible graphics benchmark?

It could be faulty VC onboard RAM. To test whether it is the card causing the slowdown, switch it with another computer and re-run the benchmark on each.

At one time this WS in question had a dual monitor set-up which is no longer the case. Could this be the cause? Maybe there are some settings that should have been changed back after we dropped the second display?

As Jeff, CBL and I talked about, what are the settings for the graphic card driver on the affected work station? Is it using an approved driver?
