Normal for a 290x?

[jcastro_805]

I just ran Firestrike on my PC and my score seemed low compared to my friend who has a 390 but is this normal for my Core i7 2600/290x?

I think it's the 2600.

 

Edit: Yup.

That seems about normal for a 2600, especially if you're not OCing.

This is my score with a Xeon E5-2680 with my r9 290x, which is not overclocked.

Yep normal

Physics score brings down your score due to CPU.

Graphics score is normal though, and thats how you check GPU performance in 3D mark and compare.

For the definitive answer, here is the search for the same setup, do be aware the higher scores are X-fire or OC GPUs.

That is about right. CPU affects the score a lot. Here is my score with a 290 that is clocked higher but a AMD 7850K that is slower http://www.3dmark.com/fs/6670715

Normal graphic score but your CPU score should be higher imo.

I think it's the 2600.

Edit: Yup.

Should I try to overclock it?

Should I try to overclock it?

Yeah sure, but if it's a 2600 then it has a locked multiplier and it's not worth overclocking.

At stock ,that seems about normal .

Yeah sure, but if it's a 2600 then it has a locked multiplier and it's not worth overclocking.

In the overclocking setting in my motherboard's bios (ASRock Z75 Pro3) there's an option for Non K overclocking, and it's disabled by default but if I enable it would it allow me to overclock?
