I did the test on the trail verion a while back, and the results were not really good. :(
I got a Overall mark of P2960

I'm not sure if you can see but:
3D Mark score: 2960
CPU Score: 1368 [WTF]
Graphics Score: 4836 [I think that's okay, but I'm not sure...somebody said a 3850..not 4850, can get a better score]

CPU Speed: 993Mhz [pretty sure thats hella off...]
CPU: 4800 series [ it sees that, okay]
Memory: 3326MB [That's correct..as I have only 32-bit]

http://www.tweakguides.com/Hardcon_2.html#System-This guy also has a 4400+ and he scored a lot higher
http://www.tweakguides.com/Hardcon_7.html - section about his scoce with 7800GTX and 8800GTS..in other parts he used a Radeon 9800 Pro :)

So is my Score REALLY that low or it's incorrect?

I'm getting about 7000 GPU score with a 4850.
Your card getting that low a score is probably because of the slow prozessor (just my guess).

But...that's a HUGE difference compared to the other dude... His 4400+ AND a 7800GTX gets almost the same as me with a 4850 :(

With his 8800 he gets 7,500+ ](*,)

CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+ Dual-core CPU
CPU Cooling: Thermalright XP-90 + High Speed Fan
Motherboard: DFI Lanparty NForce4 SLI-DR
RAM: 2 x 1GB OCZ PC-3200 Platinum EL (2-3-2-5)
Graphics: Sparkle 7800GTX 256MB PCI-E
Updated to a Palit 8800GTS 640MB PCI-E - see further below for details

Sound: Creative Audigy 2 ZS
Hard Drive: 2 x 74GB Western Digital Raptor 10,000rpm SATA RAID 0
Updated with another 74GB Raptor to use for Vista on my XP/Vista dual boot
CD/DVD Drive: Pioneer DVR-109 DVD R/RW
Monitor: Hyundai L90D+ 19" 8ms LCD
Input: Microsoft Optical Desktop Wireless (CE) Keyboard + Mouse
Sound: Sennheiser HD212Pro
Power Supply: Silverstone 650W PSU
Case: Coolermaster Stacker Silver

I think the part where it says my Cpu speed is 993mhz F'ed it up...
Don't think there's anything related with PSU..if i can OC my 4850, put fan speed to 80%+ and run 3D Mark without my computer restarting...

I agree that your CPU is the problem. I had extremely low 3D Mark scores with both a 5200+ and a 6000+. I switched both cpu and board for Intel and the scores nearly doubled. Go figure! :rolleyes:

Actually, if you search out my posts, you'll find my results listed right on this forum...hope it helps.

And BTW, I'm not a "I hate AMD" person. I base my opinions on actual test results that I run in my office.
