I posted a score of 4437 in 3Dmark, with my new x800


I would like to thank everyone who has posted on this thread. I guess
I am stuck with what I got until I decide to do a complete Rig
upgrade (new purchase, with AMD)


I have been on many message boards and have come to the conclusion
that I need to do a complete makeover sometime over the summer of
06.


Do you agree?

That's a fairly good score for your box but it's largely
because 3DMark now stresses video card far more than CPU.
In real-world gaming the CPU will tend to be a larger
bottleneck (on average) than above score suggests.

That doesn't necessarily mean the card was a waste though,
if you like to play at high resolution and with all the
eyecandy turned up, it should help some.

Maybe, though that's a fairly short use of the new video
card since the next system ought to be PCI-Express instead
of AGP based video.
