Embarassing 3DMark 06 score

[rjk]

you need to think that you will be getting reasonable performance on your current setup games wise
wait until novemebr if you can see what comes out then make a decision
any of the 48xx or 8800gt and above would make a massive difference to you

get 4850 if you it is cheap and would be superb upgrade for you

i take it it's advisable to also purchase one of these too?

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showp...ame=Akasa AK-VC03-BLUV Vortexx NEO VGA Cooler

does this cool everything and is easy to instal?

well i feel so anyway and so wish i could afford a new GPU

my score with setup in sig was 5097
SM 2.0 Score 1912
SM 3.0 Score 1887
CPU Score 3490

would i also bennefit from a new motherboard too?????? if so which one?

Well have a good laugh at me then mate because until a few months ago my score was 3124 http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm06=7171929

After buying a new PC It's now a half decent 13505 -which personally I still think is a bit low considering what I forked out for http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm06=7821053

my 3dmark score is 14390.
not sure if that is good or bad really. but judging by other peoples score mine should be way higher.

Go for a 4870.

I got similar scores to you and I thought mine was low too..... I found a setting in bios for PIC-e compliancy mode which was set to V1.0a, I changed it to V1.0 and my score shot up to 16900.......

I've got a IP35-e, so it may be worth digging around in your bios for something similar, it was well buried in sub menus.
