Any advice how to get a higher score?
Thanks

-buy better hardware -buy nvidia. phyx support will offload the "CPU" test onto the graphic card, which will significant boost the score i wouldn't bother with 3dmark and other "synthetic" benchmarks. they often have no bearing on actual performance. |

i wouldn't know, since i've never worked with either. however, the CPU test does sound like something that will greatly benefit from physX though. if i recall, the CPU test in 3dmark06 is a bunch of airplanes flying around in a canyon, which is definitely something physX can handle.

If I recall my score on 3dmark 06 was nearly 3x yours with a 4850 and just 2GB of RAM. The main difference was my Phenom 9850 quad core... so the 4 cores on the CPU apparently did greatly factor into the end equation. I also have XP on that machine and some overkill cooling system. lol
