My rig E6600 OC to 3.4 and 7900GS OC 610/720 scored a 5714 in 3Dmark06. Is this score on par for my system? It seems close to me. My real question is why I get 1-2 FPS in the CPU tests. I would think that my CPU would do better than that. For the CPU test is my GPU bottle necking my CPU? I was just curious. Any thoughts or opinions.

Note: I did have other applications running in the background at idle so I could probably squeeze out a few more points if I closed all other apps.

thanks

I think your total score os 5714 is a bit low, but your 7900GS is definitely bottlenecking your E6600.

And its normal to get 1-2FPS in the CPU tests so that parts fine.

I don´t think it´s bottlenecking. You score seems about right to me. And I know it is weird, but everyne get´s that FPS at CPU test, so that is normal. But correct me if I´m wrong.

EDIT: I guess I was wrong about the bottlenecking and the score

Really I dont think is bottlenecking...
His GPU and CPU are high end stuff...
Also i have a 7900GT and E6400 and everything is ok

That seems right on to me too. Shut down all other unneeded processes, run again and give a hollar back.

That is normal. Maybe a Quad at 4.0Ghz can get 2FPs on that lol.

ivan0550 - what score do you get?

I just wasn't sure if the CPU test were supposed to be like that or not. I will assume it is normal.

When I v-mod my card I am hopping to hit the 6000 mark. This would be using better benching techniques than I used to get the current score. Maybe tonight I will run 3dmark06 with system optimized and see the max before I v-mod it. Thanks for the quick responses.
