I think GPU-Z is not correctly detecting the 2 Graphics card...

And I think with a decent enough CPU you should get around 17000-18000 marks though, are you running the 3DMark06 at it's defult settings and xfire enabled in catalyst driver? 14000ish don't sound right at all.

Do you plan on getting two of the new ATi cards and running them in crossfireX?

Nope, no more graphic cards untill I get some sweet SATAII 64GB SSDs setup with my new RAID controller card.

Faster boot, shorter loading, snappy response, silence >>> few extra 3DMark scores and a(few) hairdryer of a HSF.

t the moment running a q6600 at 2.7, yes default settings and yes xfire enable in catalyst. Annoying....

Hi Snaga,

Check out this article, I can't see what the rest of their test build is and I'd assume it's fairly std but the 3dmark06 scores they're quoting for your 3870 crossfire is bang on what your getting.....

http://uk.gamespot.com/features/6185149/index.html?om_act=convert&om_clk=multimodule&tag=multimodule;picks;title;3

I've also just run 3dmark06 for the first time on my rig (Q6600 @ 3.05 and single GTX) and got around 12300 which was a little disapointing. Having checked better performing but comaparable spec's to mine it definately appears some more RAM would help (currently on 2gb OCZ1150) and my single 750gb spinpoint (32mb cache) is possibly not best suited to a high score.

Cheers, JP

EDIT: Thanks for the rate Very Happy

I've just purchased PCMark Vintage and ran it on this system, got a score of 8462..., apparently I'm 94th out of 28853 systems online. Not done any 3DM06 lately, as it is aging rapidly for current hardware, especially now we're in 2008!
