Is This Normal??

Witt3439 · Feb 8, 2005, 04:28 AM

Could someone PLEASE take a look at these scores and let me know what I'm doing wrong?

MNDS · Feb 8, 2005, 05:25 AM

Theres nothing really wrong at all with your scores. The Vanilla 6600's generally score on par with this when clocked at those speeds, the GT's getting higher due to the extra memory bandwidth they carry (keep in mind these cards love memory bandwidth and the GT's run GDDR3 clocked at 1000mhz).

Whew, I thought I had a problem somewhere. I am planning to upgrade to Corsair XL memory in the near future (2-2-2-5). Hopefully that will help out a little more in the benchmark scores.

My scores are now...
3DMark01SE 15,297
3DMark03 6342
PCMark04 4947
3DMark05 2654
Aquamark3 44,275

I updated the video drivers to 71.25 and updated the MB drivers and my scores improved. I am still thinking about the memory upgrade though.

OK, I can honestly say that I think I have pulled all that I can from this system in it's current configuration. Time to save up some money for some upgrading.

you'll never finish upgrading

. There will always be something out there that you want, and by getting what you want, it will require you to change out some of your other components.

You can get one of those new Samsung LCD monitors w/a 12ms response time and 600:1 contrast ratio. A new PSU, a DVD burner.....audigy 2 platinum sound card, a new speaker system......or if your done w/your PC for now, then start saving up for a brand new car

according to your sig, your scores went down

Witt3439 · Feb 12, 2005, 05:53 AM

I've done a little more tweaking. It plays games fine for now, but I think there is a 925X Motherboard and DDR2 RAM in tne near future.

CDsDontBurn · Feb 12, 2005, 06:03 AM

when i had the 71.25s installed, it did kill my scores and frame rates alot....i ended up going back to the 71.24s until the 71.80s came out, which i'm using now
