New 8800GT

[Streeteh]

Just bought myself a leadtek 8800GT 512mb. Fitted it just fine etc, games run really well (aside from crysis, can squeeze all set to high in 1600x1200 without AA), only thing that niggles me is that my 3dmark06 score is 8860. My cpu isnt exactly a powerhouse and i only have pc3200 ram, so i assume this is why my score is so much lower than other peoples, just thought i would see if everyone else agrees its my other components holding back the card.

Opteron 175 @ 2.75ghz
2 Gig of pc3200 ram
8800GT 512mb
Hiper 580w modular bomb... errr i mean PSU.

i would say if your running the card at stock that looks about right, have a look at this thread for an idea of similair systems

3DMark06 would probably appreciate a new CPU mate My score was low before I got rid of my old 2.8Ghz Opty. I now use an Intel Core2 Duo and my score is 12500

My opty is crap in 3dmark too.
There will be little to no difference in games though...
