questions about 3dmark 06 score

[SomeIranianKid]

do you all know what score a stock evga 6800GS should be getting in 3dmark 06 because i just downloaded it and got a seemingly low score is a 2277 ok?

 

[Lord AnthraX]

well 3DMark06 isnt just a GPU test....it will test evreything...2277 isnt that bad...

 

[SomeIranianKid]

o ok thats good its just when i was reading up one some 05 scores the 06 scores look like nothing and im probably gonna download rivertuna and start OCin my GPU

 

[Lord AnthraX]

ok...make sure you cool it good....and evreyones score goes down significantly over years...

 

[SomeIranianKid]

yeah how does 40C sound for idle temps on a GPU good bad decent ?

 

[thebleakness]

40C idle isnt bad at all. My 7800gt idles at 43C and those run cooler than the 6800s. Check PZEROs guide on temps for more info.

 

[Shumway]

40's a good temp for that,my agp 6800GS idle's around 55
