Hi all, this is my first post, so go easy on me, am a bit green when it comes to oc and such.
To start off with, could someone explain to me what 3d mark is actually about,, ie/ how it scores ?? tell you why ...>>>
Just ran it,, score of wait for it,,,,, 471
Now,, i am not a gamer, and neither is my pc. However, i watch a lot of live tv,, via sky digi box and happaugue tv card, so i want to get the most out of my graphics, to prevent stuttering and artifacts.
The 3D mark said,,,,SM2.0 221
HDR/SM3.0 N/A
CPU SCORE 844
What does all this mean ??? I always thought that 3d mark scores where all in the thousands, why is my score so low ???
My pc is less than 3 months old,,
Spec is,,,,,Windows xp home sp2.
3.0ghz cpu, hyperthreading, with 64bit archetecture.
1.5gig ddr2 sdram. ( 1100 free )
over 200gb of free hardrive space, on two drives.
Creative audigy zx4 audio card.
ATI X700 se graphics (pci-e ).
Happaugue pvr 150 tv card.
Wireless network card - router.
So,,,my pc is relativly new,, relativly fast for my meager needs,, isnt a gamer by any means,, but is no way a donkey !!!!
Why such a low score !! i know the x700 isnt fantastic, but 471 score
PLease,,, any advice would be much appreciated.
