I realized why my score is so low, unless you run 3DMark06 on a SM3 capable card, the scores arent compatible. Since with mine, it cant run the HDR/SM3, only the SM2 and CPU. So it adds them up and i got a score of 1771, whereas matrix can run SM3, and he gets about 600 points higher than me but because he can run SM3, it adds up 3 totals.

So thats why the '06 scores are so far apart. So you cant compare them unless you run the same tests.
