3d Mark test !!! Wierd thing ...

I ran the test and man was it slow !!!
And the scores were really not good.
But when i play games ( Team fortress 2 or Half Life Episode 1,2 ),
everything works fine and anything else other than games runs fine too.
What could be the problem ???

I attached the excel file from the test !!!

Looking at your system and your score it looks right to me. Keep in mind that 3dmark is graphic intensive. You are probably not running any of the games you mentioned on max settings? Those games will run fine on mid settings on a mid range computer. They are programed for that. The only way you would get a high score like say 10000 is if you have my system or better.

That happens in the CPU test. It takes your video card completely out of the equation and forces your CPU to do all of the graphic rendering work. And since it was not primarily designed for that as the video card is, you see some low FPS. Nothing to worry about.
