3DMARK VANTAGE scores


So me an my dad built his computer today.
We ran 3DMARK, and when we saw my old score [ I used my same email for activation on his computer as mine. ] was much higher in the CPU section we were confused.
He's got a Phenom II 955 @ 3.2 GHz, and I have a Phenom 9650 @ 2.3GHz.
But somehow I got like, 1oK more points in the CPU section than him?

The screenshot is from my test I ran a few minutes ago.
And I recently formatted my Hard drive, so our computers are on just about even ground.

This is the best place I can think to put this.

Do you have an Nvidia card with PhysX enabled?

I have a 9600GSO with PhysX enabled, yes.
That can have that big of an effect?

I'll say it again, as I have many times in these types of posts, disable cool and quiet when you run 3D mark. For some reason, it can make a big difference when you run the benchmark. My overall score will go up from 4000 to 6000 points.
