I had recently upgraded from a single core AMD 64 3800+ to a dual core AMD FX-60. While I did notice a slight bump in performance, I still felt like things were a bit sluggish in games.
I decided to get some numbers to figure out if my perceptions were incorrect. Now, I know a lot of you out there are going to say that 3DMARK06 is meant to make your system look like crap, and that it isn't a realistic benchmark. However, what it does provide is consistency. I and anyone else for that matter can run 3DMARK06 on any other system to have it spit out a number that we can compare with if I run it on my system as well.
Some of the clock speeds look a little incorrect as reported by 3DMARK06... but, I'm not too familiar with the software.
The CPU speed looks about correct. The score on it seems right.
However, a total 3DMARK06 score of 3196 for a system like mine seems somewhat low. I've seen comparable systems with FX-60s, my same motherboard, and a lower end 7900 video card to over 4000. So, what going on???
I'm not multitasking while I run the test...
Any help would be appreciated!!!
The quick specs on my system are:
AMD FX-60 running at stock speeds
ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe updated to revision 1016 also using the latest nForce chipset drivers
Phoenix-Award BIOS v. 6.00PG
EVGA nVidia 7900 GTO (A memory downclocked version of the GTX) using latest Forceware drivers
3 gigs of Corsair XMS DDR-400 memory
Windows XP w/ SP2
ENERMAX EG565AX-VEFMA2.0-SLI ATX12V Ver.2.0 535W
Primary hard drive is a WD Raptor 10k RPM 74GB HD
Four other misc. HDs
Plextor 716A
