Hi,
I just got a new built but i think something is wrong.

Rig:GPU saphire 4870, CPU q9450, ga-x48-dq6 mobo, running Vista 64bit.

I have updated the drivers for the GPU and vista, however the overall "graphic feeling" in windows looks kinda bad. Plus when i look at the system details in 3D Mark 06 the VGA Memory Clock, VGA Core Clock, Max VGA Memory Clock, Max VGA Core Clock all say: 0.0Hz ! Is this right, in my old PC i acually get a number here.

allso the Bus windo is f**ked up.
it look like this:
Enabled false
Rate 0
Sideband... -
Fast Write -

Again here i get values on my old pc.
Is there anything i have missed during installation or BIOS setups i havent dont, plz suggestions.

Can't remember the exact score from 3D mark but think it was around 12k (good / bad ?)

Thx !
(ps. plz look past my crappy eng :P )

windows somtimes dosent defult with its "good looking" aero interface, you have to manually tell it to use it in the display properties.

12K is bad with that config. I get 12K with 8800GTX/Q6600. Your GPU and CPU are both better than mine. You should get more, maybe 14K, I don't know.
