I just got this pc up and running last night and just checking things out. so is 13,133 about right for my setup?
 
looks about right. The highest ive hit is about 13,001 with my setup @ 4.0ghz
 
I'm still waiting for the day someone is asking for input on thier 3DMark score then they come to later find out they get 5fps in every game they try while thier 3DMark score is perfectly fine.

You should be more concerned on how fast your system can fold, how many FPS you get in the Crysis benchmark or other game benchmark or something usefull IMHO.

I have NFC if my system benchmarks well compared to others, all I know is my min FPS in crysis is above 30 FPS @ 1650x1080 with everything on high and thats good enough for me :)

Yes, I'm one of those people that used to benchmark religeously with 3DMark but came to my senses now I don't do it at all and I'm much happier. I'm soooo much more interested in RW performance and min FPS than I am in synthetic perf. and average FPS.

well thats nice and all but I hadnt installed any games when I asked but 3dmark was on my thumb drive so I thought I would give it go. this is a whole new system so I wanted to make sure that my score was comparable to those with similar systems.
 
op - looks about right for your rig, as the others have said.

+1 hard and confused. I still run synthetics, but this latest build produced stupid low numbers, 7500 to be exact. specs in sig. I can crank Fallout3 to ultra at 1080p...go figure.
 
3DMark is kind of pointless, especially 06 and older. I get about 11,600 3DMarks.
 
I got over 14k in 3DMark06 with Vista-64 and my rather old 8800GTX. Would have expected you to get more with a new 260GTX. But it could be because of your CPU which you have not overclocked. Or perhaps it's just another reflection on the usefulness of 3DMark.

yeah your highly overclocked quad core helps a lot. they have a benchmark results on the futuremark page but its not worth a shit. they dont even list the gtx series of cards in the search function. also even after you select the cpu it will still find results for everything but your cpu. :confused:
 
Overclock that cpu once your comfortable with the thought of possibly frying it.
 
I got 17631 with my E8500@ 3.8 and 18634 with my X3350 @ 3.4...
Both with the same 260GTX ...clocked the same way..so the CPU does make a big difference..
that being said, your score seems a bit low for your setup...but if it games the way you like, it really dont matter how it scores..:p
 
A lot of it is definitely CPU. I ran 3dmark06 after installing my gtx 260 and the scores were low. Realized the bios had reset at some point and I lost my overclock, reverting the CPU to 2.13ghz. I Pushed it up to 3.0 ghz and my score went from 9,800 to 12,800. If you O/C'd your CPU up to 4.0 ghz You'd probably gain 4,000+ points on your score.
