7045 3d mark 06 score low?

guys please argue somewhere else lmao so the thread doesnt get closed.

i have the latest drivers 178.15 from laptopvideo2go

I just want to know other people who havent overclocked just straight out the box with the 6860 fx model, if they had similiar scores?

or similiar expriences with cs source or other source games ect.

and yes when i play games its plugged in not off battery and the battery setttings are always on high performance

Intel® Core™2 Duo processor T5550
4GB PC2-5300 DDR2 memory for multitasking power; 667MHz frontside bus, 2MB L2 cache and 1.83GHz processor speed
NVIDIA GeForce Go 8800M GTS graphics with up to 512MB discrete GDDR3 video memory; HDMI connection; high-definition audio (2-channel support)

 

A little low, I think average is about 7200-7300. Make sure your power managment is on HIGH PERFORMANCE and not Blanced or Power Saver. Hope this helps. God Bless

 

i also think that the score you have is on the average... try using an xfastest driver.

 

People did try to help you in the other thread.

I believe that your score is what it's supposed to be. Look at your CPU. You have a T5550, which is a "low-end" core 2 duo. Upgrading your processor would certainly give you a healthy boost in 3dMARK.

Also, have you taken benchmarks for real games? 3Dmark is a synthetic benchmark that is useless except for bragging rights. Try playing graphic intense games, and see if your FPS matches what others are getting.

 

Your score is fine. It's the drivers. Back with stock drivers before I upgraded to the t9300 I was getting ~7400 in 3dmark06. After upgrading I started getting 69xx/70xx. But game performance was better. Once again...that score is perfectly normal.

edit: As for css, it is a source game and requires a lot of physics processing. Depending on the size of the server 30ppl+ you will experience some lag because the processor is heavily taxed.

 

lol we told you it was normal, i got below 7000 with my setup before i upgraded the CPU

 

ok cool thanks
