    Can anyone help me out in seeing why my system is not quite getting the 3d mark 05 scores I would like? I consistantly get between 8100 and 8800 marks.

    CPU: AMD fx-57 (not overclocked, but with Coolermaster hyper 6 cooler)
    GPU: xfx 7800gtx (auto overclock)
    Memory: Corsair 2-3-3-6 2.75v (timings set in bios) 2GB
    HD: 74gb Raptor 10,000rpm (SATA Raid 0)
    MB: MSI K8N-Diamond
    Soundcard: SB X-fi fatil1ty.
    PSU: Antec truepower 550w
    Case: Antec p180

    Games run great, Its just Ive got this nagging feeling something isnt right when I see people with similar specs get double my 3dmark scores. I dont want to overclock the hell out of it, but I would like to ensure that I am getting the most from my not-unsubstantial investment. Any ideas?

    i would have thought those scores are about right for an un-overclocked fx57 and 7800gtx.

    It gives you a 12% increase in warmth and fuzziness.

    I see people with similar specs get double my 3dmark scores.

    Where are you seeing anyone getting 16,200 in 3Dmark05 on a rig similar to yours?

    15,000+ is 2 x 7800GTX in SLI plus overclocking territory surely?

    15,000+ would be SERIOUS overclocking on cpu and DEFINITLY SLI (overclocked to bits). There is no way the specs above would be getting near that

    Cheers lads. I just thought I was doing something wrong. I know 16k is definitely not something I want to be doing. I just thought 9k-10k was where I should be.
