Is this a good 3D mark score?

Sudden · 8 Oct 2009 at 00:55

Just managed to run 3D mark successfully after years of problems. Got a 3DMark Score of 13613 3DMarks, SM 2.0 Score 5930, SM 3.0 Score 7548 and CPU score 2608

Specs are -

EVGA 780i *** motherboard
x6800 processor (stock at 2.93)
2gb corsair c4 6400 ram
evga 8800 gtx sli (stock)
win xp 32 bit

Is that a decent score or is there something wrong somewhere?

If you submit it to their website you can compare it against other submissions from people with the same spec as yours.

Tbh i think your cpu is holding them back at stock. I was getting close to 17k with an E8400 clocked to 3.6Ghz

Yea, Your cpu is the bottleneck. With my E8500 @ 4.2Ghz im reaching around 8700

I did submit it and the others were higher, but it was being compared to specs with the i7 processor.

Well, for the last 3 years (since I built it) the computer has not once been stable. It has never even managed to complete a 3D mark test (except once) and it still keeps crashing/freezing. If the computer remains stable now (new motherboard) (it's only been a week) then I will consider overclocking it if it's possible. I'm not sure about it cause comp is already running a bit hot but will post here to ask for advice on that once i'm sure computer is running stable
