3dmark05 score query

Hmmm still can't see it....
Could it be the drivers I am on? - I'm using 84.21

Also I'm using the secondary slot on my board (chipset heatisnk in the way at the top) so have the PCIe bandwidth at 8x.
On my X800XL I had no performance loss doing this, maybe it could be an issue now the rest of my pc is much faster.

Ah I'm using 91.28 not sure if the 2 have a difference on the control panel.

Just broke 9k after OC'ing 800 ish increase.

Ahha, didn't realise that, thought 7800GSs were meant to be better

they are. its the 6800gs that's more evenly matched with an x850xt, unless you know of x850xt's scoring 9k on average.

Hi mate and welcome to the Best forum on the interweb.
I would just like to say i would be slightly concerned about that generic PSU you are running. 250 seems well light and i don't think Dell use the best manufacturers.
Put a quality PSU on your shopping list.

Thanks for the welcome, I was thinking a better PSU but would it be a reason for the low score or am I better upgading the CPU and mobo etc while at it? I would not have a fortune to spend though however

I'l have to try those out at some point then.

Have managed 9758 as my best so far. Thats with my Oppy @2.7 and the card at 570:780
