    3dmark 06 question

    Hey, I just downloaded the 06, the GPU benchmarks ran quite fine at the start (not A okay but fine), I expected the CPU benchmark to be good, but when it started, it rarely ran it was like 1FPS, 2FPS whereas the GPU benchmarks ran quite okay, I was/am quite surprised with the OC to 3.2 I expected much better, but the score (I dont remember what) couldnt even beat the e6600...I have Vista, do you guys think its some issue other than the hardware performance? or is this expected? 1fps?

    Re: 3dmark 06 question

    the cpu is rendering the scene on its own, with no help from the GPU.. so yes, way, way slower

    Re: 3dmark 06 question

    mine sometimes reads 0FPS on that, hopefully score higher when my Scythe Mine comes and i get my PC fixed..

    but yeah, a very low FPS is normal.
