New rig, low 3Dmark 06 score.

chief barker · 31 Jan 2010 at 09:55

I think I may have a problem here chaps, I've just run 3DMARK06 and it scores 19536 overall.

Specs are,

Asus P6TD Deluxe
HD 5970
i7 920 D0
Corsair HX850W psu

Only problem so far with the build is the bios is not showing the full 6GB of ram or in windows 7 64 bit.

I haven't adjusted anything in the bios as of yet.

What do you guys think could be the problem.

are you running 3dmark at default settings? 1280x1024 etc.

It's the same as my i5 750 and 4850's in crossfire at stock. i get 23212 at 4.1ghz.

People really need to start doing this more. 06 is too outdated for giving a good indication of modern hardware.

SORTED!

I've just overclocked my cpu to 4 ghz and now I score 26893

Must have been the cpu bottlenecking the card. Or incorrect bios settings.
