Judging by other's 3dmark06 scores, I'm guessing 8717 is pretty low...

3DMark Score: 8717
SM2.0: 3770
Return to Proxycon - 32.340 FPS
Firefly forest - 30.491 FPS

HDR/SM3.0 Score: 4229
HDR1 - Canyon Flight - 51.447 FPS
HDR2 - Deep Freeze - 33.124 FPS

CPU Score: 2020
CPU1 - Red Valley - 0.639 FPS
CPU2 - Red Valley - 1.022 FPS


I know the CPU score is incredibly low.
CPU currently at 2.3Ghz, can't clock it higher since it's running at 57C just while im on this forum... Plan to get a cooler soon.

But do those graphics scores really seem reasonable? Would've thought the FPS to be a lot higher...
 
i think perhaps you didn't fit the cooler properly on your cpu. you shouldn't be idling in the 50s. :p

i bodged my 2180/stock cooler install last weekend and was getting idle temps in the 50s also. but i re-applied it with some fresh paste and got my idle temps down to 25c. :cool:

Seems quite low for a GTX tbh, even my old 7950GX2 did slightly better in 06! My ultra gets about 14,200 standard and about 11,000 at 1920x1080 w/4xAA + 16xAF!!

I agree!

'Ye Olde' Opteron 165 @ 2.88ghz and an overclocked 7950GX2 returned 9331 in 3DMark06 for me.

As has been stated just check that the chip isn't throttling under load as your idle temps are pretty high. If it is throttling during 3DMark then that will probably be your problem.

Stock for your kit should return 10k at least i'd imagine.
