is 8954 3dmarks alright for a 8800gt?

[iskim86]

I ran 3dmark06 (non-paid)

my specs are

athlon 64 x2 4600+
Asus M2nPv-VM mobo
4 gigs of Corsair ddr2 800 memory
Galaxy 8800GT + Accelero S1 rev2 @ 700/1725/1000

???

You're doing it wrong, you can get like 40,000 3dmarks

<--- go run 3dmark '01

Hmm... The CPU might be holding you back a bit. But otherwise it looks fine.

 

[Syntax Error]

It's the CPU, 3DMark puts way too much weight into the CPU in the final calculation of the score.

 

[MarcVenice]

Sounds about right, somewhat similar CPU as mine, 4gb over 2gb I have, and a 8800gt vs my 8800gts 320mb, and I think I score about 8000.

 

[Extelleron]

As others have said, normal for that CPU.

For comparison I get 98xx with my X2 3600+ @ 2.8GHz + 8800GT.

I have a 7950gx2/5000 B.E that scores 9126, so I'd say you are CPU limited quite a bit. Only thing to do would be to put the spurs to that 4600 and see if you can bump it up a bit.

 

[Narse]

yup its the CPU, I get about 11000 with one GT and a q6600 @ 3.4

It's your CPU that's holding you back on the 3DMark06 score. I have the ECS 8800GT 512MB 650(core)/1900(memory)/1625(shader) and ran 3DMark06 on 2 computers and I got the following scores:

Computer 1:
AMD X2 3800+ @2.9GHz
2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR400 @387MHz
3DMark06 score - 10,007

Computer 2:
Intel C2D E4500 @3.2GHz
4GB (4 x 1GB) DDR2 667 @698MHz
3DMark06 score - 11,770

Looks good. I get 9500-10,000 with mine.

 

[iskim86]

WHEW! good, i thought it was below-average for my configuration

 

[BAMAVOO]

I get around 11000 with the specs in my signature. I thought mine was low too. I think the guys that get crazy high scores are running certain ways to achieve higher scores. I think they have certain drivers and all that jazz.
