I'm disappointed after with my 3DMark05 score. With 2GB ram!

[hurubi]

I just got me new ram today:

OCZ Platnium PC3200 2GB 2x1024MB CL2-3-2-5.

So my system is same on the as on the right other than the RAM.
My score with my old ram 512MB PC2700 is 7171 and with the new and improved RAM 7384. An impovement of 213. What the heck in going on?

Videocard:
eVGA 7800GT
Processor:
Athlon 64 3500+ - Venice 200Mhz FSB
Memory:
OCZ Platnium PC3200 2GB 2x1024MB CL2-3-2-5

3dmark05 is very GPU dependent so more ram wont help much at all

 

[jfall]

don't worry about it, that system should play games fine. That's all that matters right?

All that matters is in game preformance, not artifical benchmarks.

You will notice a difference when you load BF2, it is amazing how much ram makes a diff in that game.

in my new rig (new sig coming soon)
found one of my 1 gig sticks was bad, so i went from 2 to 1 gigs

while bf2 still runs good at 12x10. i had to turn the tectures to med. and now at load i get a very slight pause, and when planes fly overhead i get a little skip

with 2 gigs no skips ever

FWIW, I put 2gigs in one of my laptops and like you, 3dmark barely moved at all, and I was all upset.

But, when I played a game the diffrence was IMMEDIATELY noticable.

So, I just uninstalled 3dmark and said the hell with that crap. 🙂

lol, ram wont help you much ina 3dmark05 only if its needed which it's not.

like he said 3dmark is gpu dependent just like gaming.

Since when does ram draw pixels on the screen?

 

[GreyMittens]

Hmm, that is pretty bad. I'd definiely try to upgrade your system to 4gb and run the tests again

/sarcasm off 🙂

 

[LOUISSSSS]

maybe 8gb
