It is on the lower end of their scale but 3DMark06 is used by the best builders out there.
Some guys tweak the heck out of their systems just to get top scores. The high end is very high.
I'd say your scores were decent and in line with your system. Certainly an improvement over the on board chip you had.
How did you like the Canyon Flight? I love just watching that over and over.

If anyone could explain to me how a bank can be a 5th 3rd bank (I just do not understand that name >_>) please do so. I'll be eternally grateful.

Yes. It is amazing. I wish it were a full game. I actually paid for the full version of 3DMark06 and you can run without testing just to watch.It is on the lower end of their scale but 3DMark06 is used by the best builders out there.

You can take a chance on this work that is specific to this users machine....
Or start a new Topic to review and select for your own specific machine.
