How does my 3D Mark score look?

[SuperDave1685]

Hey guys... I was wondering how well or how bad my 3D Mark score is for my system... Any ideas on how to maybe push her a bit further? I took the following screenshot after I pumped my card to 600/620... 7002

my wifes rig - Not overclocked(she just doesnt understand my obsession) - 6356
asus sli mobo
opty 148 @ 2.2ghz
2x512mb Corsair value
sapphire x850xt 256mb
200gb maxtor sata drive
FSP 600 watt psu

my rig - 8972

so i would say all in all you have a nice score

 

[SuperDave1685]

wow thats a nice rig for your wife lol... wow your 1800XT only gets 8972... only about 2000 more points than me and a whole generation ahead in technology lol. Man.... need to volt mod her one day and see what she can really do

I get somewhere around 6000 points in 3d05 with rig #1 in my sig. That's without tinkering with driver settings. Since the x800gto is similar performance wise to the 6800gs, your score seems right on.

SuperDave1685,
It seems something is limiting you score.

The X800GTO (with 16 pipes) I had reached 7511 points at 600MHz/600MHz. On a 2.8GHz single core Opteron.

 

[SuperDave1685]

wow largon.... Perhaps its the fact that you have an Opteron at 2.8 and I only have a venice at 2.6? My RAM is also 4 x 512MB, which makes them run at 2T and on a divider... could that be it you think?

 

[largon]

I doubt it's the CPU speed, 'cause 2.9GHz yielded no points over 2.8GHz.

 

[SuperDave1685]

possibly my services configuration? I think on average, I only have about 25 services running... Anyone have any ideas? I would try a fresh install of WinBlows, but I can't afford to do that right now

play with ram timings maybe? not just system memory, but vid ram with ati tray tools also.
