14,400 with 9800GX2

Does 14,400 seem normal for an E8400 3.0GHz, 9800 GX2 Stock, 4gig DDR2 8500, Asus Rampage X48? I just built it and ran 3Dmark 06. Seemed a little low, but everything as at stock speed. Does it seem around the right score?

Thanks

3DMark06?

Post your individual scores.

With my single 9800GTX, both the card and processor at stock i get an average of about 13000.

In SLI, everything at stock, i average at 14000.

Overclocking my processor to 3.6ghz in SLI, average score 18200.

Hopefully this helps a little.

i get around 13000 with this rig, OP that score looks to be a few 1000 too low

it's either spot on or a bit below, maybe you didn't update drivers from nvidia website ?

Yeah, good point. I built it so quick and rushed to the benchmarks, I forgot to see what the latest for the GX2 were. I'm using Evga's CD drivers...which are probably the launch drivers.

Thanks

I once had to used modded drivers on a laptop, which updating the drivers pretty much tripled the performance in games (I do mean 3 times)

So obviously basic drivers(cd) rarely are any good

I am getting around 15000 with my rig. Have not tried to overclock it yet.
