3870XT and 3Dmark

[drak3]

I got a score of ~9k 3dmark 06 with spec in sig (apart from the gfx card).

Not a fresh install and drivers are a mess I guess.

Looks good?

cheers

yup sounds about right. CPU is holding you back quite a bit

Get more 06 marks with a 4ghz quad.

the score is about right. damn cpu test ruins it for us x2 users

Yup, cpu is ancient and I am using cats as it was with 1900XTX

Just had a go with CCC overclock tool to discover that this card will run

875/1320 which impressed me!

the funny thing is tho that GPU-Z reports 864/1314 (and when stock reported again lower than default 800/1170.


well ... waitting for a new 45nm quad when I figure out which high FSB mobo

I got 850Mhz Core and 1000Mhz memory (DDR3) with my 2900Pro 512mb. This was with my old CPU @ 2.8Ghz (AMD X2 SKT939), 1gb of DDR400. I scored 9979 so I'd say you're fine.

core2 helps... I went from a 3800x2 at 2.5 to an e2140 at 2.9 and my 3dmark score has jumped about 2.5k with my overclock 2900pro....

yeah, OCing the 2*** cpus really helps... noticed my score go from like 8000 or so to just over 10000 when she was at 3ghz... sadly, the clock wasn't stable

Just got 12170 with my 3850pro...so you can see how having a better CPU helps a lot with your 06 score. (BTW I also got 15,488 with my q6600 and this 3850pro )
