For this system what's a good 3dmark score?

[Accipiter22]

AMD 3500+
1 gig corsair value ram
eVGA 6800GT
Asus A8V
and a hitachi desk star...


i haven't overclocked anything, and I got a 4482...seems kinda low

i hit 4482 on game tests, with 19.5/12.7/23.3 fps on the 3 tests....for cpu i hit 4491 with 2.3/3.9 on the two tests...

Use Futuremark's ORB service for comparisons. They will provide you with much more information than anyone here can. Simply do a search and specify the same cpu, clock speed, and GPU, and it'll turn up a list of results with computers similar to yours. It is by far the best way to compare.

I got 4773 with same set up accept a epox 9nda3 and a 3200 winnie. I imagine its our drivers.

under Driver Status on the comparison I have 'Non WHQL - Not FM Approved' what does that mean?

alright, so I overclocked my card, made sure it was stable, and ran 3dmark, I did several sets of overclocking and here's the results

Core Memory Stable Games 1 2 3 CPU 1 2
350 1.00 Yes 4482 19.5 12.7 23.3 4491 2.3 3.9
375 1.02 Yes 4735 20.5 13.5 24.6 4295 2.1 3.9
395 1.07 Yes 4964 21.5 14.2 25.7 4152 2.9 3.9
405 1.10 Yes 5082 21.9 14.5 26.4 4285 2.1 3.9

notice how on the first cpu test, how it was all over the place, and my overall cpu score kept going down until the final test, not sure why....but I'm happy now, my results are comparable to other people with similar systems and overclocking.
