Im getting abouttt... 9400 in 3DMark06. That does not seem right at ALL for me because from what ive heard, quad core alone is 7000 points! Maybe im wrong because my system is 0% overclocked from top to bottom, but im really confused about how i could be recieving that score. Could anyone maybe help me out on how to boost the score or maybe tell me why im getting a score along those lines?I REALLY appreciate the help. Maybe even some tips on what to change in bios ( voltages, multiplier, ect ) to get the processor running somewhere between 2.8-3.0Ghz stable? Whatever you can throw in helps! THANKS so much guys.

Your cpu speed will take a part in your score. And you're probably running the free version. Yes the card by itself probably yields a 7k score, but you have to register to test the card by itself. Even when I had my quad 6700@3.5 my score was still only 13k.

Hmm, i need to register my 3DMark06 software or my CPU? Thanks for the reply

 

[LinkedKube]

You could register it if that's what you wish to do. I just run the free version just to see where I stand. I have no need to see where my video card stands. I know its natively the fastest retail card sold on the planet so I'm happy

Haha ohhhhhhhh okay i understand! I think i might get the registered version then because i would really like to see where my system stands Thanks alott.
