3DMark 06 Professional after O/C

shaneosborne · 18 Jan 2008 at 20:09

As I have recently been overclocking my PC I decided to purchase 3DMark 06 Professional.

The issue is that my results seem low and I wish to have your advise on this. I ran all tests and ended up with the results below;

3DMark Score: 10366
SM2.0 Score: 4008
HDR/MS3.0 Score: 4093
CPU Score: 4790

What do you all think?

if i remember correctly when i had the old gts i was getting around the same score,i think i managed just over 11k with the gpu oc'd,so could be the card maybe?saying that though i would have thought your cpu clocked at 3.5ghz would have pushed it up more than that :confused:

....edit...just checked i managed 12k with the gts so yes i would say your score is definatly low.

XP or Vista?

Your CPU score should be closer to 5600.

Vista 64

That's probably why.

Now it's been a couple of months since I last ran 3DMark in Vista, but AFAIK gives considerably lower scores than XP does.

i was getting 12k with my gts with vista32 with cpu oc'd to 3ghz so he should be getting a bit more i would have thought.

Quite possibly.

We are open to other ideas.

If you are on about the OP, then that's not a sig...

Score is definately low, cpu score should be in the mid 5000's, you sure you're running it at 3.5ghz?

Yup most definatly. (389x9), CPU-Z and Bios shows 3.501.
