Try 40.72 instead of 41.90 driver. I'd believe that 40.72 gives you better result. Remember to uncheck the texture sharpening in your 3D AA display properties tab.

AMD chipset scores a little lower than other DDR platforms.

Is your video card at stock speeds? If you are trying to compare with other users with similar hardware be aware that the top scores are with overclocked video cards.

Did you load the AGP driver for your motherboard? If not you can get it <A HREF="http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/TechnicalResources/..." target="_new">here</A>.

<b>[Edit]</b>
Don't forget to turn off Vertical Sync during benchmarking. If you get tearing turn it back on for game play.
