Is this normal? Since when i play games like crysis on DX10 i can pull high/very high on 1680X1050 and it is playable, on DX9 i can put the 'ultra high' mod and it is very playable. BUT on 3Dmark06 I get about 13k 3dmark score , that doesnt seem normal to me. ive heard people hitting 18k with it.

Do you have any solutions for this? or if i did something wrong"? or if i unchecked/need to check a setting?
and yes, crossfire IS enabled.

Oh yeah. 13k is a really low score. If it's not too much to ask, can you list your full specs? Thanks.

I get almost 15k with my PC build (in my sig). Something is definitely wrong but if you're running Crysis fine at those settings, I wouldnt worry about it, imo. Are you using the free 3DMark06 version or the full version?

Dont worry about 3dMark if the game/s are playing the way you want them too be happy. There are deciding factors in the scores such as memory amount and speed, CPU type/speed.

I don't think 3Dmark06 is utilizing Crossfire X. I have two HD 4870s and I'm only getting 14k with a stock Q9300. I'd have to to test with Crossfire X disabled, but I already took that benchmark off my computer. It's just a benchmark, my games reflect real results.

That could be it.
