but im still wondering as to y my outdated system can score around 9500 and his newer one scoresmuch less
3D 2003 is dependent more on the GFX card more than the total system, your 6800 should score higher than his 6600 GT, my 6800 Ultra beats your score by more than you beat Zipp's score.

You both run 3D 2001 which score's total system, Zipp will narrow the gap....

BTW Nate89, your system isn't as outdated as you think, its still a very powerful system
