Hello there,
About a month ago I bought a new homebuilt gaming computer.

My computer specs are:
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
CPU: AMD Phenom II x4 965
CPU Cooler: Zalman CNPS9500A LED
Motherboard: Crosshair Formula III
Video Card: ASUS EAH5770 Cucore 1 GB
Ram: DDR3 2x2 GB

I have had problems with World of Warcraft, because I have been getting really low FPS when there are many players arround me. Other games such as Bioshock 2, COD Modern Warfare 2, Assassin's Creed 2 are running really smooth with no problems.

I downloaded the trial edition of "3DMark Vantage" to run a benchmark. My results were:

3DMark Score
P4750 3DMarks
CPU Score: 2800
Graphics Score: 6186
Pro user: No
OS: Windows 7
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 965
CPU: Speed 3412 MHz
GPU: ATI Radeon HD 5770
Memory: 4096 MB

I thought that my results were really low compared to the fastest's systems scores. Is there any problem with my results? If yes, then that would mean that my hardware is the problem?

If I have forgotten anything, tell me to post it.
Thank you very much.

That's not an extraordinarily powerful card and those results are pretty close to what Tom's got, so I think they're okay. If you're looking for a perf. boost you could crossfire another card.
