Newly built gaming machine.

[bournie23]

I have in the last few days upgraded a gaming machine using the the following components:-

i5-2500K 3.30Ghz CPU
Asus P8Z68-V LX Board
Gainward GTX 560Ti "Phantom" 1024MB GFX card
Windows 7 Home Premium 64Bit
8GB Kingston HyperX Genesis 1600Mhz Ram

Everything is running sweet as a nut so far so its looking good. My only one niggle is that when running 3D Mark 2011 it gives an overall score of low, even thought the test graphics seem to run smooth and clear. Nothing has be adjusted with regard to setting on any of the components, but I'm just wondering is there something i am missing?

What did you upgrade from?

To be honest i couldn't tell you it was about 4 years old so must have been about 512mg graphics card and Pentium 4 but i have no idea. Is there anything i should be doing to get more at the standard settings you think?

well, I think you will need to change PSU as well
