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

I got 5100 earlier with the new Catalyst drivers :eek:
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 :D:D

This makes me feel that my single core Opty isn't so bad afterall ;) still getting 5090 even with catalyst 10.
 
MY mate is ahving the same problem with his Dual Core setup!

U have to make sure every windows update IS INSTALLED! As the 2 cores on the processor probably arent being used correctly or effieciently!

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 :confused:

nope bang on.

Thats what happens when a cpu is asked to render a 3D scene. :p

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
Pretty similar setup here:

Intel Core 2 Duo E6300
MSI GeForce 7900GTO 512mb
2GB Giel ram

and I got 5610 on 3dmark06.
I don't know what resolution it ran at though. Is 1280*1024 the default of does it run at what your desktop is set to? (which is 1440*900 in my case). Certainly never changed the resolution it ran at anywhere.
 
That does seem a bit low.. I get 6500 with an X2 4200 and an X1900XT. Being the 256MB version shouldn't affect the score at those resolutions..

Are you running it with texture preference and mipmap detail set to low? That will give you a little boost:)

BS

having more ram doesn't improve your frame rates, it just makes things load faster, stops game stuttering etc, allows you to do more at once without everything slowing down because of disk access etc.
Sorry, I know it was a while ago but you're wrong. That was not bs. It does do all the things you said it does but it does improve framerates and I've experienced this myself. And it does remove stuttering especially with highend single card or SLI/Crossfire solutions.
