I5-650 scoring higher than i5-750

[antwanman12]

I have my i5-650 overclocked to 4.08 and I've been running 3DMark Vantage. I'm comparing it to a couple of systems on 3DMarks website with 750s in them running at the same or higher clock speeds. My CPU is scoring around 33k and the 750s are consistently around 19k.

What does it all mean?

Are these tests even worth looking at?

Thanks

they are based on a different scoring system, there is usually a letter in the front of the score to indicate this system.

Well the other scores are overall better because I'm using a crappy graphics card.
I dont see anything to indicate that they're using different systems of scoring. Isnt that the point of a benchmark? to use the same system.

them:
P25244 3DMarks
19130 CPU score
28255 GPU score

me:
P8362 3DMarks
33622 CPU score
6687 GPU score

You have a nvidia gpu- your getting a big boost because there is cpu/graphics test that uses the gpu to help compute the scene, i think its the multi little air planes.
disable physx in the control panel and re run the benchmark.

this is because you use a nvidia video card with physx enabled for the test, this is why u are seeing 30K scores, this is a common occurrence with nvidia systems.

try running the test again with physx turned off and you will get a consistent score with the rest.

I turned off PhysX and my score dropped to 11k.../sadface

Thanks for the info tho
