3Dmark06 results

[openchut82]

I do not think I am scoring near as well as I should be on 3Dmark06. I score around 4 to 5k with the following system.
Any suggestions?

Intel 6850 @3.5ghz.
2GB G.Skill ram DDR2 PC 800
Nvidia GS7900 KO
2 x WD 80gb in raid 0 (Sata 300)
GA-P35-DS3R LGA 775

I have two monitors running at the same time. No antivirus or spyware running in background. I have not stopped any other background services. I believe I should be getting around 10k or even higher.

Your Nvidia GS7900 KO is the problem here.

Seems low but you still shouldn't get 10k with a 7900KO

Yes, those numbers are about right. 2 7900GTs in SLI score about 8500 on an older 2.7 GHz AMD X2 , the Vid card is the bottleneck. My stock 8800 GTS scores 9k with no OC to my proc or card. So dont expect anything special from your dated card.

Well, I thought it might have been the video card. Still seems a bit low to me though. I didnt think the video card made so much of a difference considering the CPU I have. But I guess it does.

vid card = just about everything for 3dmark06

 

[openchut82]

Is there a benchmarking tool mostly for CPU?

Your video card is the bottle neck in 3dmark06.
