Seems pretty good, with my setup I only get about 8500
OP your scores are spot on for ur system
Ouch... shows how much that X2 bottlenecks... and as much as people hate to admit it its true but not as apparent in games
Er, it's not as much an issue of the X2 bottlenecking, it's more a factor of 3dmark being a flawed benchmark which includes the CPU in the overall score. Yes, a C2D or C2Q would be faster, but not as much as the 3dmark score would lead one to believe.
X2 4600+ and an XFX extreme 8800GT getting 13391 here... 3Dmark 05.
Getting 8890 in 06.
I just can't make my cheap AMD go faster, but hey, I can play Crysis with most stuff high in a tweaked config at 40+ FPS, I aint complaining. I swear the 3dmark stuff is overly intel happy because no way is AMD's that much slower in real world applications.
