    Hmm, you should have gotten 1200-1300 more points on the SM score. Have you checked for high performance?

    I get a 3d Mark score of 9700 on my np9262 using a single 9800 GT and an E8500 CPU with Vista Home Premium as my OS. Seems like you may need to do some tweeks with Windows 7 to get your score up a little.

    Those scores are comparable with others that have been posted for that system.

    No, not really. Look at my score, the SM scores are 26% better than his.

    a little well known issue with 3dmark/nvidia cards/quad core cpu's...
    your 2.0/3.0 scores will always be lower.
    try running it in dual core and see what you get for those same 2.0/3.0 scores.
    you'll notice a bit of a change in them
    run off of cores 2/3 only

    Johnksss is right, and what he says is especially true for the Q6600/6700. The Q6600 "pin mod", however, seems to correct the problem to some degree.

    You have a different computer, different CPU, and a different GPU.

    How is that "comparable"?

    Color? :)

    Because its minor differences, and of course the color helps :)

    No really, we have the same GPU and the GPU-part of his test is off campared to mine.

    According to your sigs you have a 9800M GT and he has an 8800M GTX. Even if your GPUs are comparable, though, the CPU has a substantial impact on SM2/3 scores at the low default resolution of 3DMark06. Remember that, in addition to being quite slow, the Q6600 had a FSB speed 30% slower than duals and the new quads.

    The 9800M GT is exactly the same as the 8800M GTX, it is simply a renaming done by nvidia. Their GPUs are not comparable, they are identical.
