3DMark Vantage results don't look right?

[BroadbandGamer]

I just ran 3DMark Vantage for the first time. Here's my results:

3DMark Score: P7974 3DMarks
CPU Score: 8751
Graphics Score: 7744

I've got an Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600, ATI Radeon HD 4870, 4GB of RAM and I'm running Vista 64-bit.

Compared to similar systems, I'm almost all the way at the bottom of the list. The highest similar system score was 11165!

So what could be going on? I know my system can't be this slow.

Yeah I agree.. I ran mine as well and compared to systems similar to mine I got even lower.. and I am OC'ed to 3.4Ghz with linked RAM( now to DDR2 ~950).

Take a look at this and tell me if everything looks right. BTW, why does it show my GPU Core Clock at 18 and my Memory Clock at 9?

I think my CPU score is correct but my GPU score isn't even close to those with the same CPU and GPU! So what the hell could be wrong? Could it be a setting in the CCC?

 

[BroadbandGamer]

According to these benchmark results it looks like my scores are normal for my CPU. I guess a faster CPU is what I need to really push this 4870.
