Low performance in CPU tests with AMD 6000+

[flimbo]

Hi
My CPU results seem extremely low compared to other similar systems with identical CPU's.
I'd like to think my Pc was running very well. All drivers are up to date and I don't have any problems with it.
Any ideas to what's going on?
Here's my results below.

Hi,

It seems you are using the PT7 Beta we recently released. Most other results in our baseline database are from PT6. We had intended for the CPU results to be roughly comparable between the two versions however looking at the results that have been submitted for PT7 so far it seems we miscalculated and the CPU results on average are coming out lower than the PT6 ones. Seeing as version 7 is still in its beta stages this is likely to be changed before final release. In the meantime you should use version 6 if you want to do a direct comparison to a majority of the existing baselines.

If you're interested there have been 5 results for the Athlon X2 6000+ submitted using PT7 so far and the average CPU score for them is 839. So it seems your processor is performing fine.
