I'm not sure which forum to post this in but I wanted to see what ppl think of my 3DMark score. I thought it was kinda low myself but I don't really know.

System:
AMD 64 3500+
MSI K8N Neo-4
Gigabyte GeForce 6600GT 128MB 540MHz core 1080MHz mem
Maxtor 300GB
1024 MB Dual Channel OCZ 2.5-3-3-7

3DMarks: 3499

Is it just me or is that slow for my system? Any help would be appreciated, OR the right forum that this is supposed to go in ;)

You don't mention which 3dmark program?

By the score I'm assuming 3dmark05.

Your score is about right,maybe just a tad low?

Yeah, sorry, I forgot to mention that I was using 3DMark 05. So yeah I thought that sounded a little low... is there anything I can do to speed things up?

try going to www.guru3d.com and downloading the modified nvidia graphics drivers im using ngo 1.77 drivers. They are allot faster. I would also 150% FULLY RECOMEND getting the Zalman VF700-CU gpu cooler as a replacement chech my clock freq runs 60 degrees load. Only thing stopping me going higher is i would need to do a volt mod to my gpu and i cant be arsed with that seems a bit risky to me.lol

With these drivers im getting 4038 in 3d mark05

Yes, you score is low becuase that Graphics card blows ( god bless it though, im using the same one) - the 6600gt has a 128 bit bandwith compare the 256 of today and only 8 pixel pipelines compare to 16 of today. the 6600gta speeds are fast, But 3dmark is a Powerhouse of a program, it test POWER, not really speed. get a 6800 Gt to see 200% better performance
