My system is old, I'm running a Q6600 at stock clocks with 3 gigs of ram (I lost my 4th stick...lol). However, with my 8800GTS 512 and my CPU at 3.6ghz and 4 gigs I hit 15,782 3DMark06 when everything was fresh.
Today I dropped a GTX460 768 in today and got 5542 on the same benchmark with the newest drivers. Battlefield 3 was unplayable on medium and pretty bad on low and Skyrim was a 2 frame per second mess on the same max settings my 6950 2gb ran it at with 0 choppiness. The 6950 is a faster card, but not 20x faster. What could be going on? This card is definitely performing worse than my 8800.
