Pros only.

my 7900GS 3dmark 2005 is 6633.

i have 2GB super talant rams 667 with 4-4-4-12 timing.

and a 531+ prescott 3.0 MHZ 1 mB cache 775 LGA processor. fsb 800

and the 7900GS was over clocked to 550 core 750 memory.

what is holding the card back and giving me that shitty score.

and ooh a 945 MSI GM2 mother board.

and i you think it is the power i have a 500 watt 33 AMP on 12v power supply.
 
honestly what does it matter what your benchmark score is? Does it run your games good? What games do you play btw?
 
NFS , Fifa 2007 .

and it doesn't run that good on 1280*1024.


and i see reviews online saying ppl play on 1920*1200 with ease with the same card i have :(
 
and a 532 3 MHZ 1 mB cache 775 LGA processor.

Huh? Honestly, w-t-f mate. Who writes out their CPU speed that way? I'm assuming you mean a 3ghz Pentium 4, on 533mhz FSB, but I honestly didn't think any of those came to the LGA775. But hey, I've been wrong before.

As for what's holding it back, let's see.

1) The processor. Realistically, 3dmark is a CPU+GPU benchmark, and unless you're running a "5323mhz" 1 MB cache LGA775 processor, I'm going to say the CPU ain't helping.

2) Motherboard itself. It's a 945. Which was never a barn burner. Would it directly affect the 3dmark score? Minimally.

3) The fact that it's a 7900GS, never the fastest card around. The only 3dmarks scores I could find on it from a reliable source was from THG, and they were on an FX-60, which is enough to totally invalidate a direct comparison.
 
fixed.


and do i need to change the cpu.
is a dual core good enough.


and does the MB make that much effect.
 
p4 3.0 ghz behave more like AMD 1.6ghz.

Dual core is not going to make most games any faster unless it was coded to use 2 cpu's but most games don't. Pentium D is not going to help because it shares the same architecture as the pentium 4.

Does your mobo support core 2 duo? You might want to take a look at MSI website and see if it does. Try overclocking your CPU.

Your 3dmark score does seem to be on the low side. I get over 11000 on 3dmark 2005.
 
No as a matter of fact it doesn't support core 2 duo.

so do i cancel the dual core order i made , i don't want to just wast money.

What did you order? If you get good frame rates on games I wouldn't worry too much about it. 7900gs is really right at 1280x1024 resolution. Not 1920x1200...

What games do you play? Try using fraps and see what kind of FPS you are getting.
 
Yup that's the one.

and do you mean a 1.86 core 2 duo is gonna be better with a better mobo.


and can you suggest an entry level mobo that supports core2 duo and DDR2?
