Does anyone have an idea of what my 3DMark06 score should be? I haven't run it yet but I am going to do it tonight I figure it should be over 15,000 or higher am I correct? Can anyone with a similar system tell me what they're getting for scores?

Wait until tonight to find out instead of speculating?

Who knows what its going to be! Every setup is different, depends on background processes and a whole bunch of other stuff.

If it's low I was going to be posting this thread either way lol. So you think it should be around 16,000? That sounds about right to me. Btw I asked anyone with similar systems what they were getting, that was my main questions, for comparison.

I am running XP with 0 applications running in the background with the harddrive completely defragged as always.

Q6600 @ 3.6ghz, 9800GTX+ stock then I will try overclocking it, 4GB PC8500 ram... shouldn't I hit like 15,000 atleast?

Here's something for reference. Same q6600@3.6ghz, but with 8800gts instead of 9800gtx+.

Okay, the first time I ran it with the 9800GTX+ stock I scored 16448 !

The second time I ran it I overclocked my videocard to optimal frequencies and score 17551.

I don't have any links to show you because I'm at work atm and I ran it from home. I'll see if I can get them for ya tonight, but otherwise I'm very pleased with these scores.

Overclocking makes a big difference in 3dmark. My E8400 @ 4ghz and my overclocked SLIed 8800GT's got 18,424.

Depending on the Overclocks I get with my Q9450 and 8800 Ultra im hoping to break 20k but im not sure if I can pull it off with only the 1 Ultra. Cpu speed makes more difference than the Gpu in 3dmark or so it seems, overclocking my cards yielded me very little in my score.

Even with a dual, it'll still end up far higher than the 12500 you predicted. :sarcastic:
