I just bought a brand-new video card for my computer, came in the mail yesterday. I got a MSI GeForce GTX 670 card at a decent price. Problem is I want to compare it with my old video card (GeForce 9800 GT), so wanted to run 3DMark 2006 to have a direct comparison of my performance gain. I know, I know it's old benchmark program.
It would NOT run and it kept giving me this error:
I first change my resolution to the resolution of the benchmark 1200x1024
This worked to run the first two benchmarks, (Return To Proxycon and Firefly Forest) but then I got the same error again:
So the solution that actually worked:
I have multiple monitor setup and my desktop is expanded onto the extra monitor. Turning off my second monitor solve the problem and allowed me to run the benchmark 3Dmark06.
I hope this helps somebody else, it sure pissed me off, and the answer wasn't an easy find on Google.
