3dmark scores low. Please help

[entropy1982]

Hey guys I have a BFG 7800GTX OC (460/1300) and am running @ 2.5ghz with my x2 3800+ .... my 3dmark06 score is 3940 and my 3dmark05 score is 7466. What should these scores be approximately?.... these seem lower than what i should be getting according to other peoples posts. Can anyone give me some suggestions as to why this may be happening?

Thanks

edit:
3DMark Score 3940 3DMarks
SM2.0 Score 1600
HDR/SM3.0 Score 1485
CPU Score 1801

1280x1024 is default for '06

i don't know....and i'm going to bed

also if you want a higher score OC a little more and change your settings inthe NV control panel(high performance, VSYNC off..etc)

who cares about 3dmark scores. i've even given up installing any benchmarking scores on my pC. as long as i'm happy with my gaming performance i'm fine.

ur fine man. my 7900gt @650/1950 with my x2 3800+ @2.6ghz and 2 gigs o RAM nets me somewhere between 6 and 7k in 06 and around 11k in 05. with ur gtx runnin at those speeds ur pretty much spot on.
