why are toms benchmark scores so low???. my system: athlon C 1.2GHz (stock speed) 256MB DDR cl2.5 Geforce3 (stock speed) 20gb seagate HDD win98se my 3DMARK2000 score 10040...

far as I can remember. However I have been reading benchmark scores for ages and have come to the conclusion that you should not read too much in to them because you will rarely get the same score as Tom. This is because most benchmarkers have ideal conditions...

amd every chance i get, my flagship system is a duron 800@1016, im just telling you the truth here..... not to sound sceptical or anything, but let's see some benchmark scores. and the complete listing of components in your systems. booyah, grandma, booyah.....

I wanted to get opinions on what would be the better buy at this point. I realize the 4870 performs on average about 6% better (according to Tom's benchmark) than the GTX 260, however, runs hotter and is higher on power consumption. I wanted to see where...

needs quite a bit of voltage past DDR3-1600 though. Also, why get the triple channel kit? You need memory in matched pairs, so you're not going to get the optimum with three sticks. Finally, unless you like benchmark scores more than actual performance,...

be replaced by 500w i coming, so right know its a paper weight. But I only have quake3 scores. Well it beats a plain 133fsb p3 1ghz by 7fps in 1028x768 "my benchmarks vs. Toms benchmarks". It scored 4fps highier then my friends 1ghz. Not bad saying a Radeon...

Not getting anything close to benchmark scores with 9800 P... Archived from groups: alt.games.unreal.tournament () I'm trying to match the benchmark score found at Tom's Hardware (the latest VGA chart comparison), in which a score of nearly 120 FPS was posted...

How much each mgz help the score in benchmark. I have take in reference Toms benchmark with P4 1.8 and T-bird 1.4.Benchmark Quake 640*400*16 bit and sysmark overall. Quake P4 1.8 236.4 P4 1.7 229.7 T-bird 1.4 198.3 T-bird 1.2 185.8 So P4 gain 6.7...

them influenced almost completely by the CPU (and memory system) alone. If you ran the benchmark with high resolution settings then the video card would become a significant factor in performance and that would reduce how meaningful the benchmark scores...

Before you bombard me with flames regarding benchmark scores, please note that I am well aware of the benchmarks on Tom's many reviews. I understand that GeForce tends to beat Radeon in the benchmarks, and that Athlon tends to beat Pentium. I am simply stating...
