3dMark05

[Dru22]

For some reason whenever i download 3DMark05 it keeps asking me what program i want to use to open it. It won't just open up, does anyone know what to do?

Your anti-virus off? Must be agravating seeing how long it takes to dnld lol

Are you sure you downloaded the correct version? Is their a linux version or something? If you are sure that it has a .exe extention, The file may have gotten corrupted during download. Did you use a download manager or something to break up the download?

 

[JBDan]

Where you dnld'ing it from?

 

[Dru22]

I downloaded it from download.com...........its on the desktop but looks like a white box with little icons in it. and when i go to open it, it tells me to choose a program to open it.

 

[SrGuapo]

Look in explorer (I assume you have windows) to see the file extension on it. It sounds like your computer doesn;t rcognize the file, meaning it is definately not an executable or anything.

wow, nm, i just went in and added .exe to the file name by right clicking and selecting rename. And it worked.

Go to www.majorgeeks.com> dnld it> then dnld the 05 patch called Build 1.1.0 See if dat works for ya. Disable virus scanner remember.

I was wondering, with the system i have what is a good score?

A64 3400+
BFG 6800 GT OC 20Mhz
1gig memory
DFI LanPartyUT 250gb NFIII
160 gb HDD

 

[JBDan]

uh prob around (and I'm guessing) 4400-4600 give or take depending upon cpu oc and mem timings and gfx card oc

 

[Dru22]

well i got 3921 with it. That seems pretty low. Whats going on?

 

[JBDan]

You have the patch right? Build 1.1.0? What are your gfx card clocks at and what drivers are you using? Also make sure V-Sync is OFF.

Go to the 3DMark web site. You should be able to compare your scores to the scores of others and their configurations. That will give you a good idea if your scores are really off.

You have 6 month old drivers no biggie though. Go to Nvidia's website and dnld and install 66.93 driver. Again make sure Vertical-Sync is OFF in your performance settings for your card. This being on can greatly reduce the FPS therefore giving you a lower score. 🙂
