plus my raptors load 3d mark nice and fast, and my temps stay super cool so i can overclock my rig.
but other than that i guess we'd be equal.

And I paid less than 1k on my system.

if i stripped mine down we'd be comparing the same system, i'm sure i could have waited another year and paid far less. this time next year i'll end up buying one of the top chip and gpu's only to have them cut prices when something new comes out again.
its all about what your happy with spending.

CPU Score of 1431

This seems like a fairly miserable performance to me; is the problem the GPU being the bottle neck or is something else wrong?

Today (actrually before this) I ordered a new GPU (XFX 7600GT). An estimates as to how much that will improve things?

My current system is in my sig and is running stock (no OC).

Sorry to bump this, but I was hoping someone would give me a response on the depressing numbers quoted above, and it seems the discussion has moved on before anyone had a chance.

I am wondering if replacing the video card will get me into respectable benchmark numbers or if there may be other performance issues that need to be addressed.

Again my current rig is in my sig and I ordered an XFX GeForce 7600 GT xxx edition to upgrade trhe GPU.

Thanks

can you play games? it should't be that low. perhaps you have the wrong drivers installed. also make sure you have dual monitor disabled, disable any antivirus, antispy programs, or any other uneeded programs running in the background. disable cool and quiet.
get the amd dual core optimizer if you haven't already.
and try upping the affinity on 3dmark.
your cpu score seems okay, and the 7600 should help, but you should not have that low of a score.
also is your psu capabale or running that system mainly your gpu.
check you settings on your gpu try defaults and use defaults in 3dmark.

actually for that card...thats rather normal sad to say...with a 7600GT you can expect anywhere between 2500 and 3000 points maybe more since your system is pretty good

tommycompton · 08-23-2006, 06:31 PM

yikes, then you'd even be better off with a higher end 6 series card. my 3400+ with a 6600gtx oc wouldn't perform that bad.

Burgerbob · 08-23-2006, 06:35 PM

I got at least 1200 points with my rig, it was definitely your 7300.
