[QUESTION] on 3Dmark benching program...

[Colton H]

Alright I have a ATI Radeon X600 series. It runs pretty nice. I get a good 80fps on CS:S de_dust2 map. and a lil higher on WoW. But when I run PC mark to bench, I get a max of 1-2 fps or it wont even get past 0 and I have to stop it manualy. I was just wondering if this was normal. because I would think I would get atleast 10fps and would like to use a bench program that is specialy used for benching lol. I also tried Aquamark but everytime I try to run it, it says this program has encounterd a problem and needs to be shut down. I have installed it on both of my machines and get the same problem. Anyway, I just wanted to know if 3dmark was working right.

I think your talkin about the cpu aspect of the test.. It is normal for that part of the test to run like that.. Its mesuring cpu performance not gpu.. If it runs like that on all the tests then you have issues..

It runs like that on all the tests. I thout the same thing but I ran it again and it did it all the way through. I don't have any other thing running to slow me down. I even re dled 3dmark. I have no idea. My card seems to be running well when I run games but benching software just doesnt work.

Can you post an ORB link to one of the problem scores? Aquamark requires and updated file (.dll) in order to run on newer hardware, check this post ;)
