GTX260 3DMark Vantage Issue

[Dave1210]

I've ran 3DMark after I put in my XFX GTX260 XXX, only to see that I don't get more than ~8000-9000 points for the GPU. This seems fairly low to me as other users get 2-3x more points with the same setup.

I have a Phenom II 955, so I doubt it's a bottlenecking problem.

Any suggestions / information would be appreciated.

How does it do in games?

Don't put to much stock in 3DMark.
It is just a benchmark after all and it is not like you can play it....

I get a steady 91fps in CoD4, at 1280x1024 with max settings.
It's just that I have no idea how much I had with my previous card. (=
