Not sure how to interpret scores.

[IRGAftermath]

Decided to get this just to have for future PC builds and whatnot. Currently, my rig is 6 years old. My score came up as 920. I'm sure that score is low, but what is considered a good score?

15,500 or higher is good.
Below 5,200 is considered bad... Very bad.

[IRGAftermath]

Interesting. So my PC more outdated than I initially thought. So 5200 and below is bad, 5201-15499 is ok depending on what game you're running, and beyond that is good. Neat.

Not sure which test you are talking about; 3DMark suggests the best fitting test for your hardware, but without knowning which one it suggested for you, can't say what is a "good" score.

The score screen has a set of bars comparing your result to several other system configurations. The Oculus/Vive recommended system is a good yardstick for a solid gaming PC right now.

Just the standard test.

Fire Strike?
Fire Strike Extreme?
Fire Strike Ultra?
Sky Diver?
Cloud Gate?
Ice Storm?

The front page "standard test" depends on the detected hardware (supported DirectX level and available video RAM)

Should just be Fire Strike. So far I'm under the impression that anything beyond that would cause my computer to commit suicide lol.

If you are scoring under 1000 in Fire Strike, that is a good way to put it.

Fire Strike score of 5000 was a good gaming PC when the test was released (which was already a several years ago). Right now I'd say 10000+ is a good gaming PC.

Out of curiosity, how high are 1080s scoring? A friend of mine cranked out 14,000 with a 980ti.

I get 15,850 with a GTX 980 Ti.
The GTX 1080's aren't that impressive.

[IRGAftermath]

Price to performance doesn't seem to be in their favor either overall.

[UL_Jarnis]

GTX 1080 is only marginally faster than the fastest 980Ti OC models. Maybe 1000 points more.

This is also why those who already had 980Tis are really waiting for GTX 1080 Ti models.

This is also why GTX 1080 reviews suspiciously tended to compare it against GTX 980 (non-ti) instead... :)

Regardless, I'm well overdue for an upgrade. AMD Phenom X6 1100T and Radeon HD 6700 in this rig lol.

im running gtx 950 ssc and fx4300. bad processor, but its just a gpu test. i got a 5144. and i get 60fps on pretty much any game i run on ultra. so 5000 would be considered alright for firestrike
