Is my system's performance ok?

[BeCoolBro]

My system is:
cm 690
asus p7p55d
i5 750 @ stock
4gb ddr3 corsair dominator
sapphire 5850
corsair tx750w
win 7 x64
I got 17999 marks in 3dmark06.Is it ok for that system?

Score seems acceptable.... I would run 3DMark Vantage to see what you get as it is more tailored to Vista/Windows 7.

i would overclock your cpu just a little bit if you want performance. with your setup im sure you can hit 3ghz without any problems

Unfortunately my cpu has stock cooler and it's a bit on the warm side,I haven't ever overclocked and finally I live in a pretty warm country.

 

[BeCoolBro]

OK.Here is my 3d mark vantage score11604 3DMarks .So is this performance normal?

 

[i4yue]

if your score went down from your previous score...then no its not normal

 

[BeCoolBro]

No,the first is 3dmark06 and the other is 3dmark vantage.

How warm is warm?

Are you certain that the stock cooler is mounted properly? The only way to tell is if you can look at the back of the motherboard and see that all 4 pushpins are completely through and locked.

What temperatures do you get if you run prime95 long enough to reach maximum stable temperatures?
Look at cpu-z at that time to be certain that the cpu has not throttled back the multiplier to protect itself.

hhmmm well that does seems bit low i actually get a high school on 3d mark vantage with a gtx 275 ftw it got a 12500ish gpu score don't know exactly i'm not at my desktop atm
You might still be able to overclock, some. You might be able to drop the voltage very slighly then bump up the clocks, just a bit and get roughly the same temps

 

[BeCoolBro]

Well right now my ambient temp is 23c and at prime 95 it reaches 75c.It is mounted ok.And the multiplier doesn't throttle back,it's at a steady 2.8ghz (turbo frequency).]

 

[jonnyboyC]

those scores still seem low even if both are on stock, what are you cpu and gpu score individually

 

[BeCoolBro]

Did another bench.Now strangely the score went up to 14163 3dmarks at 3dmark vantage.The cpu score is 13032 and the gpu score is 14584 .

 

[BeCoolBro]

All I changed was the ati catalyst drivers.Updated to 10.3.

 

[jonnyboyC]

Ok that looks about right now. I know that a 5850 would definitely have a higher gpu score than my 275, cpu looks good too.
