Just wondering, I set up this new system for myself and I am not so sure that my 3DMark06 scores are what they should be... but I could be wrong...
My highest score at stock was: 6016
My highest score at 689/1089 is: 6334
My system specs:
Silverstone 600 watt Strider PSU (4 12v rails, which means nothing)
MSI Neo4 platinum mobo
AMD X2 4800+ (939pin) @ stock
2gb DDR400 (Corsair) timings:2.5, 3, 3, 6, 2T)
HIS X1950XTX (no crossfire)
SB Audigy2 ZS Gamer
I dunno why but it feels like my scores should be higher (like in the 7000s)... I mean the 7950 GX2s are scoring higher (and costs less). So can anyone inform me if my scores are low for my setup or are they just right? If they are off, can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? I mean I installed a fresh copy of windows and only the video drivers that came with the X1950XTX (the latest 6.9 catalyst don't work yet I understand)... I only have my sound drivers, mobo drivers, and video drivers installed (nothing else) on a fully update WinXP SP2 os.
I noticed that the 7950 GX2 is much faster, so if my score is about right, should I send this X1950XTX back and get a 7950 GX2 or should I stick with the ATI and hope future drivers make it faster?
Any comments or ideas would be greatly appreciated!
