SM 3.0 Score 2101 Marks

CPU Score 2450 Marks

if you get 8600gts, it will spank my 8600gt.
ok, thanks for the scores, I can get an overclocked 8600gts(700/2100mhz) for around $169. Also, kornowski thanks for the website.

IMO you would be better off spending a bit more and getting the 8800GTS.

I can get an overclocked 8600GTS for $169 on newegg, the cheapest 8800GTS is $269, I can't see spending another $100 on a card. I'm not a big gamer, and I don't have a lot of money right now, so if i go with a DX10 card, it will most likely be the 8600GTS. THanks omega and everyone else for all the input.

Oh, I was thinking they were under $250, I guess that was just a one time deel.

Thats pretty good, but you have to be able to beat my score with an 8800GTS and a C2D E6300, which got 10,092.

lol thank you for posting omega...i posted to get some comparisons =D
Say I'm trying to break 10000, would overclocking the cpu to 3ghz be enough, or do I have to overclock the video card as well...maybe it's overkill, chances are I'm not gonna oc anything until i need to..(when crysis comes out >_>), because I can run lost planet on full everything in dx10 at 48fps avg according to fraps...hl2 ep1 at 60fps at 1920x1080

I forgot to mention, my CPU was at 3.21Ghz and the GPU was at 660/1980 I believe.

If you overclock to 2.8Ghz you should be able to easily pass 10K.
