Help - my 6800 Ultra Performance?

[DeadByDawn]

Hello [H]ard brothers,
I built my first system and I am not sure if i have it configured correct. I am not OCing either.
I ran the 3DMark05 and got this score which seems terrible: 2048

Here is my system:
- CPU: AMD FX-53 (939)
- MOBO: MSI K8N NEO2 PLATINUM
- RAM: 1GB CORSAIR XMS, Xtra-Low Latency 2-2-2-5 DDR400(PC3200)
- POWER: Ultra ULT31554 X-Connect 500W
- HARD-DRIVE: WD Raptor 10,000rpm (non-raid)
- VIDEO: EVGA NVidia 6800 ULTRA - 256Mb
- SOUND: Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS
NVidia Driver: 61.77

Here are some of my BIOS settings i touched:
AGP Aperature sixe: 256MB
AGP Speed: 4X/8X
AGP Fast Writes: Disabled
Mem Voltage:2.75 (for corsair memory)

What could be the reason for the low score?
Any suggested places to check or things to do?

Thanks in advance

Need to use one of the special 3dmark05 drivers that nvidia released to get good scores . JK!

Have you tried checking the driver control panel to see that it is devoid of any settings that might cause considerable performance drops like antialiasing?

Set your AGP aperature back to 128, there is no performance increase having it that high. Did you install the chipset drivers that came with your motherboard? Your score seems very low even for a 6800. Run some game benchmarks if you have Doom3 or just download Fraps. www.fraps.com then compare your scores to others online. Good Luck!

I scored near 6000 with my rig , settings application controlled and opts on. I suspect its your driver settings.

Can you be more specific?

Thanks

I don't know how he got 6000 but my ultra 460@1290 does 5600 in 3dmark05
3dmark03 is almost 13,920 though.

Maybe CPU difference...

Do you have your chipset drivers installed? 66.70 drivers are the best for 3dmark05.
