This is my specs:
CPU: amd 955 (3.2)
GPU: amd 6870
ram: 4gigs of 1333mhz sticks
hard drive: 1tb 7200 rpm caviar black
I got P4067 for 3dmark 11. I tried comparing it online in their site with other people with the same cpu and gpu and none of them is low as mine. Is this a normal score? |

theirs is overclocked? as long as there is no artifacting or heat problem with your stuff its fine, 3dmark 11 is just a benchmark, real life application is your only need.
unless you care about dick sizes?Last edit: 2012-04-26 16:02:55 |

This thread is full of failure. Don't compare non-comparable systems, 3dMark is largely a GPU bench, unless you stick with the PHYSICS scores, so testing with a 460 to answer a question about a 6870 is beyond ridiculous.
@OP: If you're ACTUALLY worried about benching in an effort to maximize performance, you need to know HOW to bench first.
Try shutting off every non-essential process, and closing other software like web browsers, for starters. |

| Actually, you will find that the 6870 has a fairly similar score to a GTX460 (although it is more in line with a GTX560, which is essencially an OC'd GTX460, which the compared score is actually showing) |

But similar performance won't help him find out why it's listing HIS as underperforming. In particular since they use different architectures, drivers, and frequencies to achieve those similar scores. Benchmarking to find cost effectiveness, performance, or OC potential of a card is completely different from benching to find out why a sample is coming in below another sample.
Also, with 3DMark, there's enough factors to consider that you really need to break down scores, find which tests are performing below average for your system, and eliminate variables from those tests to find the correct score. Comparing to a different hardware configuration introduces NEW variables, which is beyond useless for what he asked. |

Yeah, there are a lot of factors that could come into play here, there isn't anywhere near enough information in the OP to make any solid determination of the problem. He also doesn't mention how big of a difference there is one the specific score, which makes it that much harder to determine any issues.
Could be over heating issues, software running in the background, if the memory dimms are different sizes and inserted incorrectly that could prevent the motherboard from running in dual channel mode, voltage issues, etc. etc.. Without more information there's really no good advice anyone can give him beyond 'check everything'. |

Yep. And with that many variables, the last thing that will help diagnose it is... more variables. |

| Ok... I just wanted to know if my score was normal or not. Don't care about dick size i just needed to know if it was alot bad. |

If you're happy with your performance in games, ignore 3Dmark completely. It's only good for benching or epeenery. It's actually pretty terrible for comparing randomly like you're trying to, because it's not designed for it, so a score can look bad comparatively, but without a frame of reference, or a reasonable understanding of the software, you may ACTUALLY be trying to diagnose something like 0.5% of your performance being missing.
It's great for certain things, but not what you're doing with it. If you'd like to use it a bit more effectively, though, let me know, and I can walk you through some things to get useful results.Last edit: 2012-04-27 08:52:13 |

Its in line with a 6870 I think - Check the GRAPHICS ONLY Score and compare it to other 6870s (Tomshardware, Techpowerup, Overclockers.net forums have plenty of these threads)
If your PII 955 is @ Stock it won't help, they aren't the top dogs anymore. |
