13000 good for 3dmark06 score?

Hey, im running a e8400 Wolfdale OC to 3.6 ghz and a BFG 8800GT 512mb. I ran 3dmark06, and got a score of around 13,000. I was wondering if this was an average score, or If it was low.

I think that's a little low, but it's acceptable.

My Q6600 @ 3.15GHz with an 8800GTS 320MB 672/1050 gets 13444.

thanks for the feedback. I had never ran a benchmark on my system until this. Does anyone recommend another one to check. Or is there any changes I could make to improve my score.

wow, I should be getting much better scores then that. I dont have my 8800 GT OC at all. Should I try that?

of course! grab ntune and goto town.. before I oc'd anything i was around 11,000... also I am on XP

Thats on an AMD PhenomX4 9600 BE at 2.6ghz core/ 2.4ghz NB-IMC with a Sapphire HD3870 video card, still need to do a bit of tweaking on the video, scoring lower on the video part than others with similar setups, but higher on the cpu score. Others with same proc and only up to 2.7ghz core are hitting 13k or higher with same vid card.

I just posted on the motherboard section about the e8400 and mobos. I had an Asus P5N32 E and it will never be compatible with Wolfdale!! I flashed to the newest BIOS and still wouldnt run it at full power. I called Asus tech support and they told me that it would never accept wolfdale. Now I am using my Evga 680i LT board, which worked with no Bios flash. I know for sure all 680i LT, 680i, and 780i boards are compatible. But you have to make sure you buy XFX, Evga, BFG etc. Dont buy an Asus!!!

Not necesarily but yeh, should. You will likely still be bottlenecked by the CPU too.

In 3dmark06 anyway.

Just a small OC of the GPU and another few hundred mhz on the CPU will get you a lot closer.

thanks a lot hatman for the advice. I am considering buying another 8800gt 512mb to finish off the deal.

i bumped up my cpu to 3.825 ghz and bumped my 8800gt to 700 core clock, 1753 shader clock and 1820 memory clock. I cant seem to get my 3dmark06 score to get above 13,000. I am wondering if I should get the full version, I am using the demo version as of now.

I do a lot of video editing with my computer and visit this forum quite often for information. So tonight I decided to try 3dmark06 to see what my score would be and compared to the scores that you guys have been getting, I did not do to well. My score was a little over 5000 the first time. I then overclocked the GPU to 608/729 and got 5991. If I overclock any higher on the GPU it stops and says display driver failed and that is has reset. What's up? You can see my config below.

I was hoping someone could tell me why my (5991) score was so low?

dallasjoh, not to be mean but this is called hijacking a thread. However, your score is low because your video card is becoming dated. a quick google seach showed scores in the 5000 range for a x1950 pro. You are nearly at 6000 just because of your quad cpu

I can barely get over 12K on 3DM06 even when I'm OC'd to the max, but everything I have is over a old except the mobo. So I think you're doing well. Try to OC your ram and GPU just a touch and see how far that gets you too.

Yeah I'd definitely say your are doing just fine with your 3dmark scores. With my 2900Pro 256-bit 512mb I get 11k, not bad for a $130 dollar GPU.

haha, well who cares whos hijacking what. I am really trying to get my 3dmark06 score above 14k. So thanks for all the advice, and to the guy who couldnt get above 6k. Its your gpu man, its way outdated. You forked out at least 1,000$ for that core2extreme. You should have bought a quad core and a 8800 GTX!!

Lol I am god at E Penis lmao. I just messed around with the settings for awhile and hit the sweet spot. It took me about 5 hours and me taking off the standard heatsink and putting on a Thermalright HR-03 Rev A which I had on my 1900xtx which their "thermalright's" website says won't work?
