Hello to all, I've been reading about your low 3Dmark 3 benchmark scores, & I just had to reply.
After reading the posts here about how to setup 2 GPU's IN SLI Mode, and using 3D mark 3, I think I got a decent score for what I have built compared to some of the scores I've seen posted.
My Setup.
Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe
Athlon 64 3500+ 2.2Ghz Winchester core
2 XFX 6600 GT 128mb each
1GB Ultra PC3200/DDR 400Mhz ram in Duel channel mode.
2 SATA 120GB HD's Non raid setup

My 3D mark3 score= 13182

I compaired my score online with the next setup down the list using an,
Athlon 64 clocking at 3279Ghz and the score was 12153.

I feel lucky to have found this website, I did'nt know about the Multi GPU setting in the performance & Quality settings for multi-GPU rendering.
Yea I had the "Enable SLI Multi-GPU" setting checked, but after reading your info here about checking performance & quality settings, & scrolling to the bottom, I found I had "Single GPU rendering" checked", checked by default & only scored just over 5000 marks.
Now that I have the multi-GPU rendering set, boy what a difference in performance & benchmarks. It beat my 32bit system with an Athlon 3200+ 2.2 Ghz with a BMG 6800 GT/OC 256MB AGP GPU that scored 10860.
This is the absolute truth!

Thanks Guy's.
