Jimbo

The most relevant benchmark for your card would be 3D Mark 2001 SE, Both 3D Mark 03 & 05 are aimed at vastly superior cards to your FX5200, cards like the 6600GT / 6800 etc

Put it this way, you will get an average 1 FPS under most tests in 3D Mark 05 and your existing FX5200.

I recommend 2001 SE as its a Direct X 8 based benchmark, as the FX5200 is on a par with a mid range Geforce 4ti card (which is a Dx 8 design)

Unfortunately, 3D Mark 05 will make you realise just how much 3D cards have advanced over the past few months !

Hope this helps.

While maybe not the best, these 2 freeware will be good enough to diagnose many overclocking issues.

Hey whilst you can see my system specs, i scored a

7000 3D MARKS

How is that compared to a high end system and is that what i would expect with my specs?

Thanks,

Thats about right for your card and spec, It looks like your rig is performing well.

High end systems will triple that at better quality settings.

which 3dmark is that?

And I'll do a benchmark on mine and see what I can get so you can compare.
