I've always had the feeling that my machine isn't running as fast as it should so tonight I started running some 3dMark Vantage benchmarks. It seems like I am coming in quite a bit lower than I should be when looking at other peoples scores with similar hardware.
This was my result running a 'Performance' benchmark which I scored P10295 whilst other scores I looked at where 16-20k with same video card, cpu, and amount of memory.

Here is my system report if this will help:

Nothing is overclocked. I haven't messed with any settings in the bios or ATI control center. I recently updated the video card drivers.
My system has the following hardware:
Asus P5Q-Pro
Intel Q6600
ATI Radeon 4870 X2
4 GB Mushkin DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)
2x 75 gig Raptor drives (raid)
Vista Ultimate 64
Are my scores fine for what I have? Should I look at upgrading something? Overclocking something? Changing a setting somewhere?
