Hello I've just got Vista x64 Ultimate installed and I wanted to give 3DMarks a go. Please keep in mind that I've already installed the hotfix for 3DMarks.
When I ran the test, I was very disapointed to find that I've only reached the score of 8142. I've looked at other benchmarks that had similar scores as I do as well as specs and even an E8400 @ stock speeds had beat my scores with a 512MB 4870.
Here are my specs:
- 4GB of OCZ Reaper Ram
- 1x Diamond ATI Radeon 4870 1gb
- E8400 (E0 stepping) @ 4 ghz
- 2 HDDs with a combined capacity of 1.1 TB
- Corsair HX1000 1000w modular PSU
- Asus P5Q Motherboard with latest bios version
I've updated all my drivers and I can't see where my hardware specs went wrong. Can someone advise me on how I can improve my rating?
