Is this a good 3dMark06 score??

3dmark score: 11436 3dmarks
SM 2.0 Score 5047
SM 3.0 Score 5749
CPU Score 2454

This is with 3dmark06 and specs are in sig. (The gaming rig)

 

reasonable. overclock the cpu if you can.
and this is a notebook forum.

 

o sry. i tried desktop but no one was answering it.. And i don't overclock cause once i tried my to do it on my laptop and it almost broke

 

I actually think thats pretty weak considering that gaming desktops should kill laptops.

Plenty of laptops that aren't Alienware M17xs can get 12k in 3DMark06

 

Does it matter if I am doing stuff in the background while running 3dmark06? Cause I was doing lots of stuff on the background(Downloading.. etc.)

 

Downloading probably won't affect it very much, the difference would be negligible. 11k is a decent score, but for a desktop it ain't impressive. Sorry bud.

 

You shouldn't mind the score - it is very good and will let u play a lot of games, the HD 4770 was released as a cheap, but rather powerful GPU that was supposed to overthrow NVidias 96xx's AFAIK

 

i wasn't trying to see if it was impressive since i did nothing to this computer.. I just got this comp like a week ago

 

If the 3DMark score was for your lappy then yes it would be very impressive and NASA would likely give you a call to buy your notebook. However, since it's for your desktop it fails.

Go here for desktop envy discussions.

Fwiw, as long as you're happy with the games that you play on your computer then that's all that matters in the end.

 

Well if you look at his hardware, I doubt the OP was aiming for an "impressive" gaming rig.

That being said, for what's in the belly of his machine, the 3dmark score looks decent/accurate.

 

Tbh their is a massive price difference between the two, a equlivent price would be a i7 920 running 2-3 4890s which im pretty sure would destroy it.

To the ops you should find it does most the things you need it to, the 4770 is a very capable card considering the power and heat it makes.

 

Just saying, I bought this computer for 500$

 

Love to know where they got a 4770 though, their soldout at everywhere in the UK you couldn't sell ya grandma for one lol.

 

IBUYPOWER rules

 

Correction: When it comes to desktops, 'Build-your-own' rules.

 

So the 4770 is equivalent to a 512MB 880 GTS then. No, it's not a bad score. The AMD CPU has a high clock, so it's good for gaming FPS, but not as fast as a Core Duo at the same speed in CPU tests. Start overclocking, 'tis what desktops are good for

 

I tried building my own with much better parts with lower price..(hd 4870, and better cpu) But so many parts came DOA.. so i couldn't figure out which parts were doa so i had to pay for the shipping back to Newegg. And I was afraid it was going to happen again. And then i remembered IBUYPOWER.

 

Buying pre-built does have its advantages i suppose.

 

for a desktop not a very good score my m17 reaches that and my firebird by hp surpasses it. And I wouldn't recommend buying from ibuypower either. Its still a perfectly good score though to get by with by all means

 

personally i think its quite weak for a gaming machine, esp for a desktop i mean good laptops can break 16k easy

sry mate

 

lol this computer isn't for insane gaming... I just bought it to run some games on max/high settings. I don't play games like Crysis Im just asking if this is a decent score for the parts and the price(500$). I just said "Gaming rig" in spec cause I use it for gaming

 

This is one of the snobbiest threads I have ever read. He never asked if his system could compete with ya'lls "Uber-System's", he just asked if it was a decent score. Not everyone has to play Crysis on "ExtremeOhMyGodAwesomeness" settings to enjoy it.

 

Finally! thank you!

 

Maybe he shouldn't come posting his desktop 3dmark06 score in a laptop forum.

BTW my 3dmark"Vantage" score is higher than that, and mine's portable...so there.

 

sryy for that

 

Strange why everyone here are trying to *EAT* you alive
your score is nice and seriously, you could find your answer on google (Or just compare your score to others and for sure you will know it)

I had one of my PC's that totally burned! So, I had to made anther one

Spec (Budget):
AMD Phenom II 710
ATI HD 4770 512 GDDR5
4GB Ram (Kingston ddr2-800)
500GB HDD
Asus (Crappy mobo)
650w Power-supply

With all that I got few accessories like gamepads and other stuff for 544$ I could get better specs and price ,but I had to buy these parts from local-shops to build it in the same day.

One more thing, if you tried to crossfire HD 4770 it will outperform nVidia GTX 280 in 1280x1024 resolution (My gaming res) for a cheap price

Well his desktop costed much less than your M17x and other laptops. Yes that is a decent score for that $500 desktop considering how much a M17x costs but of course performs better than his desktop.

That desktop is by no means a gaming machine.

 

Really??? The horror!

 

It's pretty good compared to notebooks. It's sad how low end desktop gpu's puts top end notebook gpu's to shame. Sli 280m costs $600+ and only gets like 5000 more points.

 

500$ well spent.
i'm surprised that prebuilt machines are so cheap in the us.

 

Well.....he didn't say that he bought his desktop for just $500 at first....

Judging from your first post and your designation of your desktop as a gaming rig, I thought you spent quite a hefty amount of money on it.

 

show me a laptop that can break 16k and is still a laptop. Anything over 6-7lbs is no longer a laptop or portable. After 7lbs it becomes a desktop. Show me one i wish to see it...

 

How can you determine what is portable or not? I have absolutely no problem carrying my notebook around. Fits very nicely in my Pelican Case, and totes around easy. If you can't carry more than 7lbs for a few minutes, you have more problems than what type of rig you have.

 

more than 7lbs is no longer a laptop but is then considered heavy. A laptop is meant to be picked up and taken anywhere. Anything mroe than 7lbs you might as well go ahead and get a desktop. 8+lbs is most likely some huge laptop that is already meant for people who just want to say "oh look at me i have a laptop. Yes it's heavy as but i don't care because it's a laptop"

 

Says who?
Look you might think more than 7lbs is too heavy but that's just your opinion.
I love my NP9262, admittedly it is on the heavier side for laptops but not that bad( when I take on the road I have a nice carry case, it's not like I put in my backpack and have to lug it everywhere I go, put it in carry bag, strap on shoulder, go to car, done!simple)
And NO I need my laptop for work and I did not get it just so other people can say "OOOOHHH! look at him, he must not care because it a laptop"
That's about the silliest thing I have ever heard.
Stop generalizing and being jealous of other peoples "huge and heavy" laptops, it might not work for you but it works for people that have one.
Last thing my "huge and heavy" laptop crushes that 3DMARK 06 score

 

I have to disagree on this as well...you aren't looking at both sides of the coin here.

For example, it's still much more convenient to lug around a 8+lbs laptop to a LAN party then a desktop, even a shuttle built one.

Not to mention some people do need power on the go. I have a friend who flies across the country every couple weeks, and he needs a good computer for his job. He'd rather lug around a personal 8+lbs laptop then have to try and use the job sites dinky little things...

*Edit
Companies are also continuing to sell said 8+lbs laptops...so there must be enough people out there buying 'em for them to justify making 'em. Then again, netbooks are becoming quite the popular model nowadays...hell, I'm thinking of getting one.

 

Laptop, laptop, laptop....

They're called NOTEBOOKS people. Yes, there is a difference between a laptop and a notebook. There's no such thing as a gaming laptop.

 

I didn't say laptop anywhere in my post, kevin =(.

And seriously, 8lbs is heavy to you? I'd carry something around that weighed 30lbs if it came in a single unit and didn't require me to carry around a tower, monitor, speakers, keyboard, mouse, and 10x various cables.

 

? how much did u think i spent??

 

Probably $1000 or something like that.....my first impression was that you were someone who just got a brand new gaming rig and wants to show off.......
