Dissapointing benchmark scores :/

Chris_UK · 27 Apr 2008 at 16:52

I have just run a 3dmark06 to check my system in comparison to others and it seems to be around 1000-2000 points under what others score. Anyone got any idea what I might of done wrong? My spec is :

M2A-VM motherboard @ 230FSB
AMD Phenom 9500 @ 2470Mhz
4GB DDR800 @ 920mhz (5-5-5-18)
BFG 88800GT OC @ 720core / 1000memory
250gb Maxtor sataII

Not really sure whats going on but sure I could be scoring more than that :/

Any help appreciated.....

Chris.

might be your graphics card never heard of a 88800 GT

other than that checked to make sure you have the latest drivers etc?

Ahhh yea, I took a jaunt in my tardis to 8000AD and got one cheap

obviously I meant 8800GT OC

I have newest nvidia, dunno about chipset. TLB fix is also disabled in the bios.

What is actual games performance? If it's good then don't worry about benchmarks, they don't relate to real performance.

Are you comparing that score to other AMD CPU's? as long as you are that fine. I found overclocking my 8800GT helped a lot. but yours is already higher than mine can go. and what about other bench marks scores?

just out of interest what score do you actually get?
