Hey buddy welcome to FITES!

I just recently built a comp with similar specs to yours. If you've ran 3Dmark05 I'd be curious to know what you scored.

My machine:

A64 3700+
MSI K8n-neo4
1gb TwinX
MSI 7800GT
200gig maxtor SATA hdd

Got a 6811 with the unregistered version, all settings standard. Plays every game I own at $$$ framerates with cranked graphics @ 1024.
Anyone else?

I got 7420 on mine.

I still have some tweaking to do on my rig.

Thanks for the welcome louber1115 ! :bigsmile:

I just installed 3dMark05 and ran it and got a result of 7368. I was nervous when I was running it as the last couple benchmarks were running very slow and I was getting about 3fps! I thought Holy Sh33p $h**, my graphics card is p00n3d as it's barely running!! But I was happy to see my score was quite good, heck my buddy Kona and I have almost identicl systems but he has his cpu overclocked majorly with his watercooling setup and I still pulled a score close to his! W(.)(.)T!!

I'm actually a little suprised at the difference between your score and mine, but I do have a few things that may be helping my score. I'm running 2 Gigs of very tight latency ram, my video card stock is overclocked to 454 on the gpu and 1.12 on the memory, and I run WD 10k rpm drives. Still benchmarks are nothing to live by, they are just a who's penis is bigger contest and your score is awesome! With our systems we should be able to play the most current games for a year or two full throddle!

Well yeah you have the ram up on me, as well as the MSI 7800GT's are clocked lower from the factory (easily fixed according to Tom's) and I haven't done much to tweak my system into running better as i'm still getting it up to 100% (installing apps, games, etc.) a little at a time.

I'll post again if i can get an improvement over that score, but as of now it runs any game i need it to just fine. (graphics cranked of course)

and graphics performance is all that should matter bro! I don't spend about $1.5k a year to make a better benchmark, I do it for the eye candy for the latest games!

I'd say to pull off that heatsink and put on a layer of Artic Silv3r 5 then crank overclock the puppy if you wanna see what kind of numbers you can get from a benchmark, but then I'd move it down to about a 10% overclock on the clock and memory for stability...
