Default 3DMARK how does your computer score ?

After installing my new GFX card I ran the test again and although my computer is far from being a gamer's system, it is performing much better than it did before.



Lots better than the 67 I got the last time I ran the test !

Hey I could see more than still pictures this time !

So how do you guys fair on this

Those with good systems must see some awesome animations.

From that test's standpoint it is obvious my CPU is way outdated but I won't change it until I am ready to get a whole new box in a few years from now.
It's just not worth it to upgrade piece by piece this old one at the moment. It works good enough for my needs.

Why are you guys with similar systems getting such lower scores than me?

With no OC'ing yet, I got 11102: http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm06=4416363


Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 @ stock speeds (2.66GHz?)
Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3P Mobo
2GB OCZ PC2 6400 DDR2 RAM
XFX 512MB 8800 GT @ 625MHz/1800MHz (OC coming soon probably)
Creative Audigy 2 ZS (wasn't worth upgrading from my old PC)
1.4TB space


My old PC got 2202.

My score isn't that much lower. You're only getting around 500 or so more marks than me. I'm guessing it's the difference between a GTS and a GT. Plus my motherboard isn't as good (crappy chipset compared to yours).

As you can see, my CPU score was a bit higher than yours (because of my overclock), but my vid card tests were lower (thanks to your GT).

Not sure what the performance of the 2600 is like though. I wish ATi would stop being so fucking annoying an use a regular numbering system. I mean, is the 2600 better or worse than a 9800?

Comp hasn't been altered in any way, no OCing and did this test without a restart. Might do another one later.

I wonder what i could squeeze out of it if i learnt a bit about OCing.
