Right, did this benchmark on my new comp earlier...


3.4GHz Northwood C Pentium 4 @ 3.91GHz or so (230x17)

XFX GeForce 6800 Ultra set at "Auto Overclocking" via the Nvidia/XFX drivers.

Abit IC7-Max 3

2GB of Corsair DDR400

XP Pro fresh install plus a few games and utilities...however it has not been updated with anything yet since this comp is on the net and room is too small for 2 comps. This includes DX9c, so I'll be seeing whether I can get an offline install for it.

I can't remember the exact figures, but the CPU score was just under 13000...but the GPU score was about 2600. The CPU one is fine, at least to me, but the GPU one is naff. I also noticed a really bad score in 3D Mark 2001SE; about 9000. I was wondering why they are so bloody low, and what I could do about it.

CPU:AGP:PCI Ratio is set to the motherboard setting "Fixed" (system wont boot on anything else I've tried), and the GPU voltage is 1.55V.

I don't notice any lag in NFSU; but that's hardly Doom 3, Half Life 2, Battlefield 2 etc now is it...

Nevermind, had it set on high quality in the driver...
