Hi.
 
Ive just build a new computer. my specs are these:
Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 3.00
GIGABYTE GA-EX38-DS4
4096 MB DDR2 PC2-6400 CORSAIR XMS2
RADEON HD 3870 X2 SAPPHIRE
Samsung Super-WriteMaster SH-S203D
SEAGATE BARRACUDA 7200.11
Antec Nine Hundred
OCZ GAMEXSTREAM 700WATT
 
I only get around 11k in 3dmark06, and I know I should be getting a lot more than that. All my drivers are up to date aswell.
 
Here is what I get when running 3dmark:
 
Im using XP 64-bit
 
3Dmark score: 10721
SM2.0 score: 5136
HDR/SM2.0 score: 5444
CPU score: 2069
 
Hope somebody can help me.

they are really low scores, considering that the 3870 X2 gets the highest scores in 3Dmark, I wouldn't worry too much about it, 3Dmark is a very unreliable benchmark.  
 
Take my advice and don't let it get to you, play some games, post your benchmarks and feel better about ur system
 
I kno I didn't answer your question, but trust me I use to be like that now I just play the games

I run crysis on high details(cant be ultra high since im using xp) and I thinks it runs about 30 in average. But sometimes espacially when I die it gets very low.

Crysis is a very screwed up game, try COD 4. Crysis has bad programing and runs bad even on my GX2 in occasions. It staggers with Tri-SLi as well.  
 
Try COD 4, HL2:Ep2, Bioshock, Unreal 3 (AA might not work on your card).

I will try COD4 now. Im just installing it. I'll post back fps

k

Whats your Resolution, I forgot to ask you and post the Settings as well, In crysis the AA might be killing the frames.

1024x764 (using a very old screen right now) and AA is not enabled.

Your score looks good except for your cpu score. I'm quessing your bios isnt up tp date and dont recognize your cpu right. Check CPU-z and see what you CPU is running at. It might be runnung 1066 FSB instead of 1333. Im guessing this is the case. If so your cpu will be running at 2.4 wich would coincide with your CPU score. If you want to score high you need to bump your FSB ^ all the way to 400. Your video is good but everything communicates on the FSB so you would be bottle necking if your cpu is running 1066 quad pumped.
 
A bios uodae should get you to 1333 FSB. You should beble to OC to 1600. The guys running 1600 are the ones with big scores.
 
 

Thanks you raod runner. I'll just try and see what CPU-Z tells me
 
And liquid I'm around 100fps most of the time in COD4

Haha. LOL. I've found the reason to the low CPU score. Multiplier only running at x6. I have no idea why that is stock?

ur good to go then. Your system can do it Ignore the benchmarks, I agree with RR, your CPU scores are really low.  
 
3Dmark is CPU hungry.

thats retarded... i get 12 k in 3dmark 06 wiht a single 8800 gts 640... yeah i'd try updating bios or something, but crysis is a great benchmark I think, I get around 30 fps mostly ultra high at 1920 by 1200.... so yeah I think a x2 card at 1024 by 768 is way overkill

 
I know it is overkill. It is just temporarely until i get my samsung syncmaster 22".

Yeah, something is wrong with the CPU score.  My FX-60 nearly scores that high.

The 6x is probably speedstep. Just launch a cpu intesive program and watch CPU-z it should go to 9x but you need to see what the FSB is at 9x. It is probably 266.5 when it should be 333.25. You can turn off C1E in bios to disable speedstep if you want to; however, I dont recommend it. I'm positive your CPU isnt being recognized right with the current Bios. Once the Bios recognizes it and you OC you will see some huge 3dmark06 scores.

What does CPU-Z say your "RATED FSB" is? If its not 1333 then you need a Bios update.

 
It is 1333. And yes the x6 was because of speedstep. But when I put the CPU at high load, nothing happens to the FSB at all ?

Check the bios and try to set the multiplier to 9x instead of auto.

The FSB will stay at 1333 in CPU Z but the multiplier changes when you stress the CPU. If the multiplier doesnt go to 9x then you ned to set it in Bios.

When I stress it, it does go to a multiplier of 9x.

Why I am havning this very weird problem then?
