I just got a geforce 6800 and unlocked all 16 pipes and 6 vertex shaders. in 3dmark01se, i get an abysmal 13,000, where my 9800 pro got 17,000.

in 3dmark05, i get a 2,000 with the 6800. Whats do i do?
 
Turn off FSAA. ;)

Check your settings. Either you don't have AGP GART loaded or you have FSAA enabled.
 
fsaa is disabled,.

however, i dont know what AGP GART is so maybe thats the problem. how do i load it?

Thanks!
 
Different video card ie NOT the same chipset type = new OS install about 98% of the time or you get dumb issues like this... You can also try driver cleaner to remove your ati drivers, etc. And make sure you do install the GART stuff as well...
 
return it and try another when you run out of ideas. I had a BFG 6800 perform poorly before in multiple computers including an A64 machine, so it could be a defective card.
 
this is weird, it benches lower, but i can run games maxed out with 2x aa and 8x af at 1600x1200 and it runs perfectly. my 9800 couldnt do that. are benchmarks irrelevant?
