8847 for my system in my sig.

Is that good? Should it be higher? can I over clock? what are some good overclocking utilities for my hardware? I'm kinda new to this, so please let me know. Thanks!
 
well, first of all, 3d mark means nothing in real world gaming. you prolly know that already though.


anyways, you might be able to squeeze a teeny bit more, but phenoms aren't the best for OC'ing.

the graphics card could probably be overclocked though. why don't you try doing that? i can see another 500-1000 points from a GFX OC.
 
RivaTuner. Read up first -- you can damage your hardware if you over do it. GPUs don't have the same sort of protection against damage that modern CPUs do.
 
Ya, I overclocked my 9600XT ages ago. I won't do too much, just a little then check to see if I get a higher score. That score I currently have, is it good for my rig?
 
It seems a little on the low side, but I don't have experience with Phenoms. I know they're slower than C2Ds/C2Qs clock for clock, though. if your games are running fine I wouldn't worry about it.
 
well the thing is most of us are used to seeing 13k+ 3d mark scores because everyone overclocks their Q6600's to 3.6 from the 2.4 stock. a 2.4 stock quad gets about 10000 points with an 8800GT i believe.

ok correction, a Q6600 stock gets about 12000 with an 8800GTS 320/640

you should try updating some drivers or such.

otherwise i'd suggest ignoring 3d mark, since intel pays futuremark ALOT of money to endorse quad cores

I believe I got 13K with my 8800GT and my E6550 @ 3.4Ghz.

Phenoms are the slow.
 
no, phenoms are a core 2 duo quad equiv, they really are not that bad. Your score is low. its a quad core, so you should get the extra fluff from the CPU score. Somethings not right, but without more information I dont know what to say.

A phenom when clocked = to a quad core 65nm c2duo should produce very similar results.
 
to th OP, what drivers are you running for the GFX? that could be the cause for a low score.
