Another "is my 3d mark score right?" thread

[Supercow]

Just got my new system up and running a few nights ago, and I have to say, I was very underwhelmed by the GFX card performance.

I got around 4960 3d Mark 06 @ 1280x1024

System specs
Intel Core 2 Duo E6300
Connect 3D X1900XT 256mb
2GB ram
Shuttle SD37P2

Are the scores rubbish, or am I just a bit out of touch with 3d mark benchmarking (haven't run it in years)


cheers

Ah ok, nevermind then, I ws under the impression it should be around 6k, must just be me thats out of touch

 

[Supercow]

Nope, nothing's overclocked

Seriously though Supercow, Overclock that Cpu to 3ghz and see the score rise like a NASA Space rocket

Haha, well, ill have to get better RAm first, which will have to wait for now, since this new rig was not a "budgeted on upgrade"

 

[Supercow]

if you make the jump to 2GB, you'll probably see a decent jump in score too!

Did you read my specs?

I got 5100 earlier with the new Catalyst drivers
Gonna do some tweaking, but I think the general consensus is that its a normal score. The PC seems to perform superbly under any circumstances.
Soon as I get new ram in here, I'll come back and show you girls hows its done

Just curious though, whats the CPU score coming in at?

I'll check tonight, BUT the CPU scores only chug along at 0-1 fps.
The first cpu test, the barren brown land thingy, only occasionally make 1 fps, and the second time they test it makes 1 fps more regularly.
This is bad i suppose
