Just ran my first 3dmark 03 test on my Leadtek 6800 gt o'ced to 401/1100. Rest of system is;
xp3000 333 fsb
Asus A7n8x v.2
1024 corsair xms at 2,2,2,5
460 w psu

All temps are excellent and all tests ran well, but, my score was only 6844
This seems incredibly low. What is the prob? Is my cpu holding me back. I am running slighty o'ced at 2210 mhz by upping the fsb to 170.

I need some suggestions plz.

Turn off AA, AF, and Vsync in nVIDIA's control panel.
 
It could also be that the GPU is running too high and the sensor activated the thermal throttle function which will cause your GPU to slow down. It's kinda like how the Intel Thermal Control System works. You'll know if the GPu is throttling by looking for pauses during the benchmark run.
 
OK, I tweaked the cpu with the following settings;
FSB-202
clock freq-11.0
memory-2.5,3,3,7 at 168 mhz (83% of fsb)
gt card set at 401/1101

My new score is; 11813, I feel much better now. Still running very cool no higher than 58c when I finished 3dmark and was able to get to temp display (5 secs.)

Hmm..I didn't think the GT had that. I have been wrong in the past, though! :)
