just wondering if you are only running the graphics card tests on 3d mark 05, does your chip make a difference to the score as with 2 x1900xt in crossfire i only get 13100 with an fx57, though ive seen ocuk guys get 14k plus running stock, does the cpu make a difference

you are prob cpu limited very much so in 05 with that cpu.

7800's sli'd with a 3.4ghz fx chip is cpu limited to a certain extent,

overclock that cpu and your scores should go up

Yup your are running into major CPU limitation.

I can remember back when I had twin 7800GTX's that the difference in 3dmark05 between running my old 4000+ @2.4 ghz and then at 2.8ghz was 1200 points.
