my total score was : 15938

spec:

700 Watt thermal take lite power PSU
ASUS M2N-68 motherboard
AMD Phenom x3 720 OC@ 3.38 GHZ
Gigabyte 4890 OC (zalman fan version)
4GB 800mhz DDR2

Any good? (on mild OC she only puts out around 15000 points)
 
not bad at all. 3 things.
1. 3d mark is BS if you don't have a Physx card your score is crap.
2.I just found out you can unlock cores on the X3 you have u should check it out.
3. That a good score for a 4890 and no Physx
 
For a better comparison pick up Unigine Heaven Benchmark, run settings others are running at and compare. This should be less CPU dependent, but I'm not sure about physics, though.
 
OK, I got the following:

Gigabyte ODIN 720W PSU
ASUS P5KPL-AM SE motherboard
Intel Core 2 Quad Q8400 OC to 3.2GHz
MSI GeForce GTX460 Cyclone 1GB OC to 800MHz
3GB DDR2 @ 800MHz

OS: WinXP Pro 32-bit
GFX: Forceware rev266.58

And I scored a total of 16,993.

Is it OK or can I score a bit more when I OC my CPU a bit more? I can go to 3.5GHz on my motherboard with the newly flashed BIOS, and cooling is no problem (I stay at ~35'C idle with the 3.2GHz OC, load temps are around 45'C MAX).

Any ideas here as well?
 


Why not try something more up to date like 3dmark11?
