Not sure about your 3dmark06 score, but the 3dmark05 score listed in your sig (7300+) is way too low I think. You have clocked your 7800GTX to nearly the same as my Asus 7800GTX Top (486/1350 Factory OC) and yet your score is way lower then what i get with Athlon64 3700+ (Stock)... i.e., 8550 (with anti-virus etc working in the background). Your 3.4 P4 cant be making that much of a difference as 3dmark05 is much more GPU reliant and doesnt include CPU scores in the 3dmark score. My detailed specs are in my sig.

as i siad before my GT kills your gtx.

1.There must be extra programs running in the background turn them off.

like antivirsus friewall etc.

2.Also go into your driver setup and turnoff AA & AS, also set the slider to performance not quality.

3.Disable some of the startup programs, goto to major geeks to download that software, or ask someone to help you do this.

4.Double check motherboard drivers and graphics card drivers are the latest.

By following the above tips should increase you score. GOODLUCK.

you double checked your motherboard drivers yes and you switched AA and AS off in the grphics properties yes?

If so even im stumped.

But theres one more thing which certainly boosts scores on any PC do a fresh operating system instal, reformat the hard drive and this should boost the scores it did for me.

You have WindowsXPx64?? Why didnt you say so before. That is probably whats giving you a poor score in 3dMark05. I hear 3dmark05 is not meant for XPx64 and most people cant even finish the whole benchmark on the 64bit wondows.

Anyhow, sorry to contradict RX8, but i wont take his advice and disable my anti-virus and bump down the quality settings to performance. Thats not how I got my 3dmark05. Its taken with Norton Internet Security 2005 running in the background and other standard stuff, with driver settings on default and on Quality. I am presently using 82.12, but my score was on the 81.95 I think. My point is, that the relevent score in these benchmarks is the one which is obtained under normal using conditions, i.e., conditions which are prevalent when you play your games or run other graphical applications. I dont disable my Security and Anti-Virus to play games, no thank you sir.

BTW, I think I get a similar 3dMark06 Score (around 4200 or so) as yours so thats why i am curious as to your low 3dmark05 score. but no worries, its most probably the incompatability between XP64 and 3dmark05.

I wonder what is the major difference between performance and quality mode ...I set the driver to high performance and played F.E.A.R ..I noticed that nothing was different ...same graphic and same FPS !!

I run it on the freebie software.

I run it again squeezing out more points at 7012 points ( i have the pics)
but my new official record is now 6979.

This is an air cooled system and I'm soon to invest on water cooling for more overclocking.
