Hey Folks,
 
I just upgraded my machine to have three GTX 580's in tri-SLI mode. I just ran 3DMark 11 to test the performance, and it says "Your score is low compared to similar systems. There may be a problem."
 
My score was P12222 3DMarks, and most similar systems have 13000-15000. Is this a common problem with 3DMark? Maybe it's just being too picky, or maybe I really have a problem. Have any of you seen this issue before?
 
Here are the stats for my system:
 
Intel Core i7-965 extreme edition
3.8 GHz CPU speed
Three EVGA GTX-580 superclocked cards (SLI is enabled)
Windows Vista 64
6 GB memory

3dmark always says that from what ive seen that your score is low.  3dmark said the same thing about my system and i had a fairly high score for 2 stock gtx 570's in sli. Your score im not 100% sure on but look at other peoples scores most are overclocking their video cards alot.

it always says that because it doesn't measure overclocks. I overclocked my graphics card and cpu and then it said i scored good compared to everyone else.

last time i ran 3dmark (about a week ago) it took me to a results page which had an advertisement on it saying something like "your computer scored low compared to similar systems, use out regestery tool to help improve your score."

obviously i cant remember exactly what it said, just watch out... i almost fell for it...
