Low 3dmark 06 score !

[lanielf]

I just got my new 1900xtx.

running stock

got 11300 3dmark 2005 score

but on 2006, I got only 5068 points

2289 sm 2.0
2576 sm 3.0
1043 cpu score

the cpu score seems really low, I'm running a 2.76ghz with DDR500,

Tell me what I can do to fix that, or if it is a normal score.

I heard dual core CPU's will give a nice boost.

Am I right? (not really sure on this one)

Yes. When I was running my 3200+ at 2.6 GHz I would score between 900 and 1000. Now with an X2 3800+ at 2.7GHz I get 1900+ CPU Score.

I got 5153 with an Opty 146@2.8, 1280x1024 res. CPU score is 1116, so your score seems about right. BTW I only got 10638 in '05 if that makes you feel any better.... 😉

its a very good score actually... since your cpu is single core your score will be less than that of dual core cpus, but your graphics score will be on par, so just look at those scores

here are my scores
3DMark Score 4908 3DMarks
SM 2.0 Score 2462 Marks
SM 3.0 Score 2400 Marks
CPU Score 940 Marks

this is with a 2.4 ghz A64 and a 650/1600 clocked 7900GT
