3DMark06 - Good Score?

NeoReloaded · 28 Sep 2008 at 23:22

Hey guys i know i could have searched, but im not one for dragging up old threads so just a quickie! Is 12815 3DMarks using the free version of 3DMark 06 a good score for my system below:

E6600 Overclocked @ 3.07Ghz
3 Gig RAM
Powercolor 4870 1gig
Vista Home 32bit

It seems a bit low to me, but im not sure?!

Thanks

3d mark 06 is not a good indicator for checking system now.

I would try 3d Mark Vantage - or at least the free one.

I think that looks about right - you'll be very cpu limited on the 3dmark free test.

I get 15.6k with the same specs as you except running at 3.2GHz
and a 512MB 4870
And an extra gig of ram.

But I still think this is still low, but as Vortex said, its probably not a good idea to use 3dmark06 now.

do u play 3dmark? no! do a benchmark with crysis and see what results you get then compare them to other members and see if your card is performing as it should

^^ good idea, seems best. The figure you give is not that far off my 2900xt, come back and say the crysis demo fps you get

As in the Crysis Benchmark proggy? I have it already, but it seems very bugged as i cant turn AA or AF on and i never get my results as it says it crashed when it didn't?!

Seems a bit low, i get 12299 on the rig in my sig

Definately seems low, I get 13625. My E6600 is clocked at 3.6ghz, but I only have a 8800GT so I'd have thought you should be a fair bit higher with a 4870.

Downloaded Vantage and ran it once, went to do it again and it says you only get 1 free go! What a crap download lol.

I get 12931 @ stock & 14261 max overclock but 06 is a poor ATI benchmark as opitmised for Nvidia cards & quad core also adds another 2000 points.

Well i kinda made my own little bench mark just by plaing Crysis! When i had 2 gig RAM and my 8800GTX i got 15-22 fps with everything on high @ 1680x1050 and 2x AA! With the same game settings with my upgrade im getting 27-38 FPS! Is that jump up still a bit low?
