Yeah, that is defnitely not right =/ I'm not sure the problem though....

 

[StinkyMojo]

whats weird is that doom3 and hl2 play fine on high settings..

as long as games play well, who cares about 3dmark

 

[StinkyMojo]

true.. but it's still weirldy annoying

What drivers you using?

 

[Goat]

get riva tuner and make sure all the pipelines are turned on. I know this should be done already with a GT but those look like the scores i got with my plain old 6800.

I don't use profiles meself, so could just be speculating, but you aren't accidently using an nVidia profile with these benchmark programs are you? A profile with aa turned on or something?

 

[bladeiai]

did you remember to install your nforce 3 drivers, I forgot to one time after installing windows and thats about where my scores sat if I remember right,

also how far did you over clock your card? when I pushed mine to far it would start to loose points in 3dmark

Make sure you have the latest motherboard chipset drivers installed. That seems to be a common source of inexplicably low scores.

[StinkyMojo]
