80 fps on which test? And what's the score? "highest fps" doesn't say much.

3dmark06 and the First game

k dont trust 3Dmark, 80 is a high score for the first game:) I mean 3Dmark is meant to OVER stress the card, and the 3870 X2 beats any card on the market in 3Dmark, yet it doesn't beat them in regular games:)

If it runs fine elsewhere what's the big deal. When I first got my 2900, 3D Mark wouldn't even run! What's the score? That FPS sounds like it might be a good score. And also like L1qu1d said, a 3870X2 outperforms a 9800GX2 in it which we know isn't true. Also, it is 3DMark06. Since we're now in 2008 you can bet there are new technologies that it doesn't test that are in some new games (most notably DX10).

see EXT64 is on the ball! :) Look and see what vantage PCmark has to offer.

But to be honest with you I hate vantage, not as much visuals, and not that much game related:P

i wish there was an all in one ever day game 3Dmark, that had crysis time demos and quake 4 timedemos and like all these games:P that would be awesome!

I dont think there is a problem with your rig
Dont really care much about 3DMARK 06 , care about playing games
Crysis has lags ? what resolution are u testing? what drivers? how much FPS do u get ?
Do u have Problems in other games ? or its just Crysis ?

I wouldnt worry about 3dmark 06 score. I got a 9800 GX2 and i dont get a great score either but heres the funny thing. My mate has a q6600 with 2 8800 gt 256 mb in sli and he gets about 13500 3d marks in 06. I got a dual core 2.4 ghz and a 9800 GX2 and i only get about 11500 in 06. Then when i start playin games i actually beat his pc. Crysis runs noticably better on my pc than his and he has a better cpu. Its just 3dmark thats all.
