[noobish]

I dont know what am doing wrong or havent done it, im only getting score with 3dmark06 of 5000-6000. I've seen system below mine and hitting 10k or more 🙁.

STOCK:
CPU: Core 2 Duo @ 1.8ghz [Conroe]
MB: MSI P6N Platium SLI
Ram: OCZ PC2 6400 SLI 2 X 1gig 5-5-5-15
PCI-E: BFG 7950 GTOC 256MB

SCore was around 5000 - 5500



Overclock:
CPU: Core 2 Duo @ 3.0ghz [Conroe]
MB: MSI P6N Platium SLI
Ram: OCZ PC2 6400 SLI 2 X 1gig 4-4-4-12
PCI-E: BFG 7950 GTOC 256MB 760 core @ 720 mem

Score with 3dmark06 6000-6200

If anyone can help me noob butt out that be cool 🙂

Your score is just about right, for that system. You do know that 3dMark is a video card benchmark, not a processor benchmark, don't you? Your video card is the weak link in that system.

hm.. yea my name say it all "noobish" thanks for replying cant afford better video card atm 🙂

Well, it's not like your videocard sucks, but if you throw in a 8800gts 320mb or higher, your score will go up into the 10k region.

No system with a single 7950GT will ever hit 10000 3DMarks06. 8800GTS - maybe... if OC'd.

With 2 of them in SLI - maybe 8000.

I am perfectly satisfied with my 512MB 7950GT SC, scoring 5800 - 5900.

If you can't play your games with the satisfactory frame rates, get 8800GTS 640MB or GTX.

But you are probably referring to 3DMark05 - my score is about 10500.

I have 2x 7950GT KOSC 512MB Video cards in SLI and I got 10k w/ my old E6400@ 3.333GHz.

Yup, you're right. Just checked the Futuremark ORB. Left is my single at stock 600 GPU/725 Mem, right is E6700 at 3.495GHz FSB 348MHz with 2x 7950GT, 512MB, 702MHz Core/801MHz Memory clocks.

Cool! I didn't know that I could bring my rig to the 8800GTX levels just by adding another Video Card!

With DX10 practically non-existent now, and the new games in a very short supply for at least another year or two, this might be the way to go.

Thanks, PCTC2!
