My 3d Mark results - Too low?

[jbourassa]

Hello!

This is my first post but I have been reading the forums for a while

I'm not completely sure where to post this, I am terribly sorry if I am posting in the wrong section, if so, please move it.

I have a Asus P5K (vanilla) w/ droop mod, e6750 Overclocked to 3320mhz (after which it seems I need to raise the vcore way too much for stock cooling) along with an ATI hd2900pro flashed to XT (so basically it is an XT card w/ stock speed), 2GB OCZ ddr2800 Platnium XTC. If ever it matters, I am running all this on a 24" display, so 1920x1200 res.

So I am scoring 9131 - and it says I am 79 out of 81 for "similar systems". Therefore, something must be wrong, no?

Here's the report : http://service.futuremark.com/orb/resultanalyzer.jsp?projectType=14&XLID=0&UID=12258816

I am thinking there is something wrong with this, am I right? If so, what should I do to fix it? Is it possibly my overclock that isnt working well?

Any hints would be greatly appreciated. If you need further testing from me, fire away!
Thanks =)

You need to select the default resolution of 1280x1024 for the test to be comparable.

yeah... 1280x1024 or it doesn't really count.

Do you mean the resolution of my desktop or the 3dmark's resolution?

I believe that was under regular 3dmark's res - since I did the first bench with the trial version.

I dont know what I did that fixed my problem - but I fixed it. I tried to install a new BIOS on my P5K, then I indeed rebooted. I ran 3dMark again, and i hit 11k something., which brings me on par with other systems .

I don't know if it is the BIOS update or the reboot... /shrug. but im satisfied now
