dunno what's considered good/great scores for 6800gt but the video card is definitely what's holding you back. what drivers you using?

 

[vinayb]

77.72

I'd say it is a bit lower... but compare you scores online!

To be honest, you hit the spot on the "normal" range of the 6800GT, anything higher is usually some mild-high overclocking from other ppl w/ similar specs.

That's a lil bit low,bro!! I score 4150 with my 6600GT overclocked...Try the "Nvidia G xtreme HD 80.40 Forceware drivers"
You can download them from www.guru3d.com
Also download Coolbits 2.0 from the same webpage and overclock your 6800GT!!

i assume you've verified core/mem are running @advertised speeds? if so, overclocking it is your only option, if you care that much about your score.

That's correct, my 6800GT @ 400/1050 scores 5,271 with 71.89 Forceware. I should rerun everything with 77.72 and see if things have changed.

*EDIT* About a 100 point increase with 77.72.
