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.

I didn't pay for it, lol :confused: I got it from BitTorrent in the end (no, not an illegal version...). Hehe, I'm as poor as... [Insert somehting that is very poor here]. :p I was able to run the HDR/SM3.0 tests becuase my GPU supports those features.

My CPU was OCed to 2.46 Ghz then (160 Mhz more), and not much of an improvement did I see. I got about an extra 50 points or so? Is this becuase the tests are focused more on the graphical side now?

Strange how the 7800GT out-performed the X850XT, which was ATI's top card for many months.
its because it doesnt support SM3, see when 3DMark06 calculates the score, it adds up the 3 tests (SM2, CPU, and SM3), so a 7800GT would get something like 3500, where the x850 only can run 2 tests (SM2, and CPU). So unless the cards are capable of running SM3, you cant compare the cards with 3DMark06.

To compare rambo's card with one that doesnt have SM3, you just dont include it. So its like i got a score of 1771, and he got a score of 2619.
