I think your CPU is holding you back. OC it to 2.4/6/8 GHz and your score should raise.

Hey am i supposed to get onyl like 1-10fps in the cpu tests?

3dmark scores dont matter that much anyways. As long as the computer runs and does what you want it too do, its good. 3dmark is just a neat way of bragging.

I got 8340 on my rig with:
AMD Opteron 148 @2915MHz
1x1GB Mushkin eXtreme Performance
eVGA 7800GT CO @220MHz/1220MHz

I got somewhere in the 7000's with everything the same but my video card was at the stock 470MHz/1200MHz. OC that video card a little bit and you will see that score bump up a good deal.

3d mark is quite innacurate, it gives a x1800xt a score of 11,000 and a 7800gtx a score of 8,000. However when they are compared during games, they are level.

So when your video card was stock at 470/1200, you got 7000, but when it was at 220/1220, you get 8300??
