nx9500 3dmark05 LOW scores

If you are referring to 3dmark 2005 that's a normal score for your graphic solution with 64 megs.

If you want 'practical' benchmarks for 'current applications' I would suggest 3dmark 2003.


Should be more accurate.

For 3dmark 2005, Ati X700 or newer, or Nvidia 6600 or newer are recommended. Totally high-end and 'current' systems.

Post your 3dmark 2003 score. I would assume it to be approx ~1800ish.

I personally 3dmark my systems not for gaming performance but to check DirectX compatibility and also a 'stress test' for the system to ensure it doesn't overheat.
That said I work with AutoCAD and do a little work with arb openGL, and on occassion yes, I will play a game. But I am definately not a hardcore gamer.

That said, my mobility radeon 9600 in 3dmark 2003 scores approx 1600. Which of course isn't "good" by any means, -however- for what I use the system for, it's far above what I require.
That said I can play Warcraft 3 decently on this system.
3dmark 2005 scores, well lets just say yours beats mine hands down. lol.
BUT once again, 3dmark 2005 is a benchmark, and thus it 'stresses the system to the max' for rendering. The performance of 3dmark is 'not' the performance you should expect from current games.

If you want to be very thorough:
Benchmark using: 3dmark 2001 and 3dmark 2003 and post your scores.
I'm sure you'll like the numbers more. But definately sounds normal (assuming you did run 2005 of course).

not bad when you consider you have a business class notebook...
