Hey all,

I have just ran 3dMark06 and i got :

CPU Score 2578 Marks

Specs :

Operating System Microsoft Windows XP

DirectX Version 9.0c

Mobo Manufacturer Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.

AGP Rates (Current/Available) 16x / N/A

CPU Intel Core 2 2930 MHz

Physical / Logical CPUs 1 / 2

MultiCore 2 Processor Cores

HyperThreading Not Available

FSB 66 MHz

Is this underperforming? Seems a bit low compared to some people.

I wouldn't have thought 3dmark was the best thing to test one of these on as its mostly a gpu test, try some games imo.

That is pretty low.. I am running a Athlon 64 Venice 3200+ at 2.5Ghz and i get 4200 with the X1800XT...

Talbs13 · 2 Aug 2006 at 09:05

Any idea why though?

dafadau · 2 Aug 2006 at 09:15

FSB 66 MHz ????

that doesn't seem right!

ZXSpectrum · 2 Aug 2006 at 09:15

Not a clue matey.. did you do a clean install? Are there any programs running that causes big cpu drain? I would say by the results its not using both cores or the speedstep has knocked down the multiplier and it hasnt returned when running the app...

Me to. But i have my 3000+ clocked at 2.5.

It was a clean install on XP Pro. :confused:

Nothing was a big drain when running, CPU usage was 0% before i started. Temps went up to 47C MAX.

and dont forget that now its the GPU that limits your 3dmark score

yup id say thats low...one of your settings is probably off

DanF · 2 Aug 2006 at 11:00

Try SuperPI or something, that test is totally GPU limited really.

Talbs13 · 2 Aug 2006 at 11:28

Super PI 1MB is 17 sec.

more like it!

Socaddict · 2 Aug 2006 at 11:36

you got any AA or AF on?

That might be the problem.

Talbs13 · 2 Aug 2006 at 18:24

How can i see if its on? Its basic version.

Go to your ATI control panel and check what your Anti-Aliasing & Anisotropic Filtering settings are, if set to application controlled you will be wanting to set these in the game or in the bench program options.

If you set via the ATI control panel then you are ultimately over-riding any game or bench program settings.

You cannot change these settings in the basic version of 3DM06.

mi9tchy · 2 Aug 2006 at 20:06

i get 4919 on my system

Fazari · 2 Aug 2006 at 20:26

what kind of x1800 series gpu do you have?

Talbs13 · 2 Aug 2006 at 22:14

X1800XT

They are both set to Application Controlled.
