More Information

So ive gotten a chance to OC my CPU and GFX card

I got an e2180 and a 8800gt oc by gigabyte.

Ive been pushing my CPU and my 3dmark06 score has been making great strides.

stock everything my score was 8400 3dmarks

Cpu 2.0Ghz -> 3Ghz (10x300fsb)

score went to 11000

then i pushed gfx stock was 700/1700/900

and stable i got 770/1900/960

but heres the kicker, 3dmark score didnt go up at all. I got roughly the same 11000 marks.


Guessing my CPU is the bottleneck in my rig? any thoughts?
