Hey,
Im just in the process of putting together a new rig, the spec is in the sig. exept I'm waiting for the graphics and PSU to arrive.

Currently using a BFG7300 stock overclocked and enermax 370W psu.

I ran 3dmark06 and got 790 marks :O.

My old rig sitting over there, bless it as its served me well, but its old and dusty and sports an MSI Geforce 5600. Overclocked I got that rig up to about just under 3000 marks!

Now this score is in no way reflected in my real performance. With my old rig, it ran all the last generation and some this gen games great, aslong as I didn't turn all the graphics settings on max it would run fine. My new rig, even with my 7300 in there rips through games, 150FPS on UT2004 everything maxxed out @ 1024x768.

Yet I get a measly 790 marks compared to my old rig lol?



PS. When my card and PSU arrives I will reformat.

Edit, and also until my new components come everything is running cool to the touch at stock settings, waiting to be overclocked X)

That sounds highly unlikely for 3d06 :confused:

sounds more like an 03 score to me.

Yeah I second that, which each new version the scores are lowered.
Although 700 is mighty low. Do you have AA and AF off? With what res? Make sure everything is at default then run again. Also turn off anything running in the background.
 
Which 7300? GS, GT, LE? What's your CPU Score?
Done a search on the ORB to see what similar systems are getting?

edit (I think I got about 700 on my 9800 pro / athlon xp so it's still probably rather low. might have been closer to 500 though)
 
My bad, I think that was an 05 score. Get confused because they both have return from proxycon right?

Anyway, thanks for your replies - I'll wait till I get new PSU and card then I'll see what happens.
