Another 3DMark05 Score

3DMark05 score is 3288. 3DMark03 score is 8219. Seems a bit low but just wondering if this is about right so I know if I need to tweak settings. (System in my sig)
 
yes that is a bit low. My score is 4450 with nforce 2 and xp 2600+, 6800GT, gig of ram. All stock clocks. Better check you MB drivers.
 
DaveBC, you've got a 6800GT and he's got a 6600GT. SpedeRacer, I get 3840 from my 6600GT on my 3500+ system with a modest overclock, so I'd jack around with the settings a little bit.
 
Why dont you stop "playing" 3dMark and start playing a real game, then you figure out if you like it or not.

Your score is fine. It is not low especially since DaveBC is compoaring a 6800GT to a 6600GT.

I get where you're coming from but the only game I have right now is Counter-Strike and it runs alright but I plan to get source and D3 when I can afford it. Oh and another thing...does anyone know how to increase fps in CS (I tried fps_max xx but it will not go above 60 fps. I dunno what vert sync is but I have a CRT so I dunno if that affects it). I am also pretty sure it's not my hardware limiting to 60 fps.
 
vsync syncs your fps with your refresh rate. go to the counter-strike source settings, and disable vsync. then go to the nvidia control panel and disable it from there.
 
er whats wrong with them scores? if u really must get the 71.20 drivers out of Gamingphreeks sticky at the top of this forum

those look about inline to me
 
Hmm, system specs in .sig.

I'm pulling 3600 with a BFG 6800OC, with 16x1,6 unlocked. I get some noticable artifacts, after the unlock, during the benchmark. But I've only noticed once where I had anything 'odd' happening with the rendering in a game.

On a sidenote: Last night, I overclocked my 3200+ from 2.0 to 2.4 and didn't see an increase in my 3dMark05 scores. Shouldn't I have gotten 100-200 points higher after a 20% overclock? Or does the processor speed not help on 3dMark05 at all?

3mark05 is video card dependant, although I would expect at least a teeny increase after a 20% overclock. Did you notice an increase in 3dmark01 or 03 after the overclock?

oops, my bad. Guess I'd better read a little closer. Those scores are adequate for a 6600GT.
