3DMark readings

[foxnews]

I ran 3D mark 05 (Trial version) with revolution 1024x768 and the score is: 6948 3Dmarks. I turned off all temp monitor program and reran 3Dmark and got score of 7153 3Dmarks.

my system is E6300 overclocked to 3.15GHz and Saphire 850xt PE.

most of the internet 850xtPE reivew showed 3Dmark for this card from 5875 to 6300 3Dmarks.

my score is higher than those review scores. is it because of my CPU overclocked? does CPU help in 3Dmark05?

your score is higher, and i am guessing you are using 3dmark 2005?

Most reviews probably dont have Core 2 duo cpus in their test sytems either

yes, I was using 2005.

I thought these scores are to measure GPU only?. if CPU help the score, then scores are different on each system.

3dmark scores test your systems ability, though there is a big leaning to GPU
