10,893 with areo, AV, defender,firewall and internet turned off. I hear that benchmarks don't always translate well to FSX. They can give you an idea of how your system tuning is going.Bob

I agree with Bob that 3dMark06 benchmarks do not translate well in FSX. It does give you an idea as to how well your system is tuned in comparison to others who have a computer system similar to yours. To find out whether your score is good, click the submit your results to the 3dMark06 website and they will immediately tell you how your score compares to others with similar systems. BTW, I think your score is excellent based on your system specs.Best regards,Jim

Thx Jim, I'll submit it and check it out

yeah that seems about right....How do you like your video card? I have the same model! Great card!!

bobbyjack is correct3DMark is designed to appeal to the competitive side of gamers.. and in that it acts as a catalyst to sell hardwareI use 3DMark.. 03 and 06 only, but I use them to test for things the benchmark was designed for, not a high score. I have logs for tests and the driver revisions, settings, etc which tell me when a driver really does, or does not show potential for being an upgrade. At the same time it allows me to evaluate my clocks and the changes I may make so it
