My 3DMark11 score of 459 seems a bit low.

I am getting my computer ready for Battlefield 3. Just ran 3DMark11 and scored a 459. That's pretty horrible.

Can someone see why? My specs are:

Mobo - Asus P6X58D Premium
CPU - i7 930 (not oc'd)
GPU - Evga GTX 570
Memory - 3x 2gb Patriot
HDD - 2x 500gb

Eh... this was such a bummer

I'm assuming that is the Performance setting.

have you updated yourself to the latest nvidia drivers?
you should be getting somewhere between 1000 and 3000 marks i would assume.

first, where is your PSU on the list, it's probably the most important part when your trying to make sure everything is stable. secondly are you up to date on the video drivers for your 570.

PSU: Corsair 950w

Just OC'd from 2.8ghz to 4.0ghz. Looks like my CPU was bottlenecking ridiculously hard. The 930 is older than I expected I guess? My new score is 5884 (P5816).

well there had to be something else going on. maybe your gpu didn't clocked up for 3d mode or something.

Hmmm. Well I'll be right back and check on America's Army if my performance is increased. That game ran on garbage graphics last time I tried.

I twas the Performance setting you are right hugo.
