I was just curios if 9800 is a good score for my recently built computer.

Here are the specs:


Antec 902

Gigabyte 790XT MoBo

955 Phenom II x 4 @ 3.2Ghz

HD5770

4 Gb G.Skill Ripjaws 1600 Mhz CL7 RAM

1TB Spinpoint F3 HDD

TP-750 Antec PSU

Windows 7

Yeah seems fine to me. Vantage is such a horrible way to bench a system. If you compare it to other identical systems it is fine or if you want to check performance increases in an overclock or different video cards in the same system it is fine.

As jay is saying dont take much notice of vantage, its an artificial benchmarking tool, as such it has no real bearing on your systems capabilities in real world terms. I use it just as jay is sugesting but i always run a couple of game tests as well to get some real world numbers to compare as well.

I have a very similar system and a HD 5770

I run the 3DMark06 on default settings and I get 16,000

My processor+gfx are both OC'ed

When I set the 3dmark06 settings to max I got a score of ~9800ish

Just compared my RAM with yours, I have 4GB but its 1066MHz, I think..I'm not very good with RAM, but I know my mobo isnt the best and my ram is up to speed.

Other than that theres nothing terribly wrong with your rating there.
