3dmark05 score

[vgame64]

hi, I am just posting to see if my scores are somewhere in the range of what they should be.

I am running an AMD 64 4000+ @ 2.64GHz
3GB PC3200 DDR SDRAM
Radeon X1800XT 512MB
74GB Raptor
SB Audigy 2 ZS

I am getting 9207 3dmarks @ 1024x768 and other default settings in the first 3 video card tests.

With my A 4000+ running at 2.56Ghz and X1800XT running at 690/800 (Via overdrive)...I get around 9350

Depending on what your video card clocks are - I'd say your score is about right

thanks for the reply. and if you would know, could you tell me which processor core is better in general, venice or san diego.
I had a 3200+ venice @ 2200MHz and am now using a San Diego 4000+ @ 2.64GHz.

Not really sure on that one....people have said the Venice core is a better overclocker than the San Diego. But in terms of what you have now, the 4000+ is a better chip all round. You should be able to go higher than 2.6 Ghz though (if you are lucky) These X1800's are very CPU limited so you should see some benifit in even the slightest overclock on your CPU.

With the 4000+ some people report overclocks of around 2.8 - 2.9 Ghz - with the right cooling, motherboard and RAM!

Not a big overclocker myself....I got an 156Mhz increase just by upping the HTT until my RAM craps out. I'm happy with that for now.

Not tried anything else.

The 4000 should overclock better then that ,I got a Opteron 148 that runs at 2.9gig at 1.5v for just $211
