Hi,

I just installed a Zotac 8800gt Amp! card tonight and i wanted to run benchies to see how it improved over my old 3850. I ran the program and I got around 7200. I was perplexed and more sleuthing found it registering my GPU clocks at 0.0 for core, memory, and shader. I realized that was the problem. I played quake wars and numerous other games tonight and found that my pc had the heightened performance that it should've received by installing a better card. So the card works, 3dmark06 just doens't like it.

help.

If you want to see core, mem and shader clocks use GPU-Z.0.2.4 and it will show you the clocks. Try reinstalling 3dmark and see if it helps. Your card works and plays games without a problem so i would not worry about it.

yeah, that's what my dad said. Quake wars maxed out 80fps is good.
