Area 51 - 3DMark 11 Failing on new ATI Drivers 10.12 and 11.1
Anyone here have 3DMark 11 and getting errors when completing a test on the two newest driver releases? The tests run fine but when I would normally get the results I get a big list of errors. The program ran fine when it was first released (although my scores were low). I have tried reinstalling Futuremark, no luck. Games run fine so I kinda gave up on the benchmark software and concluding that it is what it is. Just curious if others are getting a list of errors and were able to fix it with the new drivers.

I have not tried 3DMark 11 yet but I have used 3DMark 6 and other benchmarking applications. I have also found that my Alienware system, (even with 2 5870s in crossfire) was receiving 'low' scores when compared to other system with like hardware and clock speeds. In some cases it was even out performed by lower hardware systems at stock speeds. I have not been able to figure it out but it seems that the AW parts are not up to speed, if you will, when compared to their marketplace equivalents. It is a bit disappointing when you think that AW is supposed to be a 'high performace' rig.

It is far more likely that it's something with your setup then the parts used. You need to go over all your drivers and settings. I have the Area 51 and it scores high for what I have in it. I also spent the time tweaking it to make it perform at its best. You need to do the same.

Heaven runs fine, but this one has been a problem since release. Problems:
1. Throws an error about "Window Focus" when changing tests
2. Sometimes the tests display fine or sometimes it's messed up big time (like the vertical hold is way off)
I just tried:
1. v1.01 patch and SystemInfo patch
2. Launch icon Compatibility Settings: Turn on "Disable Desktop Composition" and Run as Admin
... no help.
But I think I just fixed it ... I'm running dual monitors and that seems to be the problem. With the second monitor disabled, it works fine. I just created 2 CCC Profiles ... called Normal and Single Monitor.

Good.
Ya, I think I remember getting that "not approved" message on CCC 10.8 or there-abouts. I don't get it on 10.11.
