I've trying to dl 3dmark05, but the dl hangs on a few sites, and when almost complete on one, it said it was done ahead of time and ended up being about half done.

So I've done 3dmark03 a couple times, and my high score is 8255 with the system in my sig. Is that reasonable? I'm hoping to add another 512mb of ram in about a month, but I'm not sure if that will make any difference either. Searched for a "3dmark03 post here" thread, but only found a couple random scores hovering around 7900-8k.

I score 8900 with the system in my sig.

Yours sounds pretty reasonable.

Thanks, good to know. I haven't gotten into overclocking the cpu yet, and I just overclocked the gpu so it won't be at the crappy default speed, so hopefully I have some things to look forward to.
 
Try getting 3DMark05 Build 1.2 at Guru3D.com.
Hopefully that download will actually work.
 
First one i tried :/ I cancelled it the first time because it was going at 40k, but I'll try again now. Hopefully my connection is better.

Btw, updated:

8589

552core/1086memory

I think I'll leave the core alone for awhile now.


[Edit:] Ok, the 3dmark05 dl is working now. Should have those numbers up in about 20mins.


Just finished 3dmark05. Got 3550
 
3DMark2001: 18037
3DMark03: 8580
3DMark05: 3529

All results obtained with ForceWare 71.84 on Windows XP Home Edition SP1, Quality mode with the rig in my sig.
 
I usually use Overclockersclub to download benchmarking stuff. Never usually have a problem there.

Andrew, by looking at your sig, you use a 5200RPM HDD as a primary? Just curious, as looking at the other parts, one would think you would have a 7200 RPM :p
