They probably have SLi

Also, dont put too much faith in (cough)silly(cough) benchmarks like 3DMark (or benchmarks for that matter) Sure they give you a general picture of your system but a dozen points here and there doesnt mean jack

very true. They multiply the average frame rate by 800 or something to get your score so even large differences don't make a difference.

hmmm my p4 3ghz ht with the 6600gt oc"ed got 6000+ i guess the 10,000 rpm drive helps or something or the dual channel ram

Also depends if you have the full version or the trial version, both give different scores. I think that score is right though.

Harddrives won't do A THING with video benchmarks. Um...duh, this is video, not access speed

But yeah, I can get good enough speeds with my system so I'm not worried about the lower scores. I get 25-40FPS in Doom 3, ultra gfx setting, 4x AA. A steady 60 if I go without AA. So yeah, those benchmarks are cool, but why bother when it's the games that count
