Why does the CPU always score so badly during the test? It always says it's doing 0-1 FPS when testing it. I'm kinda new at this 3dmark stuff, sorry.

that cpu just doesnt cut it with the load 3dmark06 wants. Thats similar to the score i was getting with x2 4000 and x1950 pro. jumping up to a 6400+ or high as you can, or switching to quad core will be a big gain. Beyond that time for a new card. depending on the games you play.

Yeah. Your lucky you scored that high. What do you expext from a old card, and old CPU. I only get 2700 with a 8500GT. It dont matter cause I play games on my 360. My computer works fine for a media center.

Yeah, the CPU test in '06 is a tough one. 1-2 fps is what I get with my X2 4600/1950pro, and it is overclocked to 2.8ghz.
I get around 4500 total score, I can get it up to around 5400, but I have to overclock the GPU, and up the CPU to 3 ghz. Only have stock cooling and things start getting warm so I don't run it that high.

Hm, i scored 4200 with my athlon 64 3500+ and my defunct xfx 7900GT.
I also get around 0-1 fps in the cpu bench, buts its quite normal.
You wont get any cpu that will run it at least with 15 fps..it just doesnt exist, atm.

thanks. I just wanted to know because I don't play too many high demanding games. (I only play city of heroes and COD4)

I was seeing people scoring like 12K and I was like wtf?
Thanks again guys!

 

[quanger]

to give you an idea what other systems are getting,
My system (look in sig.) gets 12600 on WinXP

That's not too bad. The CPU score isn't huge in the overall score. For comparison mine's a hair under 10k.

Dont worry about 0-1 fps on the cpu test i get 1-3 with a 3.0Ghz Q6600 and my overall score is ~16200. Kinda funny that my cpu score is a 4300 and the diff is only 1 or 2 fps.
