WTF, 3-4 fps in 3DMark06?????

[p8ntslinger676]

Ok this is what happened, after downloading 3DMark06 on my computer, only 3 months old, i tried to test it out to see what kind of score i could get, but right off the bat i notice that the fps started at 10 and dropped to 3 and stayed hovering between 3 and 4, this really didnt make any scense cus in 3DMark05 i was staying abouve 60 fps, everything else works great but for some retarded reason it wont do shit in 06'. This is kind of making me mad after taking two and a half hours to downlod the freakin 600 mb file. If you have an suggestions as to why it is doing this please tell me. O and one more thing i also installed directX 9.0c cus i only had 9.0a so if that would make a difference i dunno??? Here are my specs for your info.

AMD Athlon 64 4000+
Connect 3D X850XT
1 Gb OCZ PC4000
300 Gb Maxtor Sata
500 Watt Ultra PSU
Emprex Double Layer DVD+RW CD+RW
Windows XP PRO

is called ur card only supports SM 2.0 and 3d mark 06 uses more SM 3.0 which your old graphics card dont support

x850 xt doesnt cupport SM 3.0 like stated above. BUT 3 FPS is average for 3dmark 06. People spend $3000 for 10 FPS in 06. Its a monster of a benchmark. By the way what was your score?
