Why do i get this 3DMark score?

0	This score is kind of weird. The two first numbers are over what they're supposed to be, so that's good, but why are the other two lower? 3dmark score oc asked Feb 16 '12 at 08:22 Jacobmsdk 1●3●4●5

usually they wont have the score for your exact hardware config, instead what they do is create hardware classes, so it may be estimating those scores based on what hardware in your class gets buy not your specific hardware. (ega GTS250 1GB and a GTX 260 are in the same class even though one card is clearly more powerful)

PS the classes are generated based on user submitted scores and is based only on model numbers and not other underlying specs, so that class also included similar hardware that has also been overclocked.

Another thing to consider is that many scores are based on systems that are relatively clean so if you have a ton of running processes then you will get a lower score, (eg don't expect advertised/ expected speeds for your hard ware if your PC starts up with like 90 running processes and most of your memory is in use)

Well i closed down pretty much all procceses, so i don't think it's that. It's probarbly that i haven't overclocked my CPU at all.

by closing down, did you go to task manager, show all processes, then end the task of all of the non microsoft processes (generally get down to around 27 running processes)?

After that, while you may not be able to end the process for the virusscan, you can disable the auto protection.

you need to do this if you want to get close to the results that you may find in a product review done by a group like tomshardware where all benchmarks are done on a clean install.

If you can post your specs, I can check if your scores are close to what they should be

It's okay, i managed to run Furmark for more than 1 hour at 1Ghz, at almost max voltage.
