Just installed a new 7900GS the other day, to replace my failing 6800GT. I have it OCed to 600/1500, but while running 3dmark06, I'm getting MAYBE 5200 points, if not less. Looking at the online database, I'm well under where I should be, so... Any thoughts?

Need more specs than just your vid card .... I'm getting 4450 with an Opteron 144 bumped up to 2.7. The card is voltmodded and overclocked so its comparable to yours, but looking at your score I'm guessing you have a C2D 6300 at least.

Yeah, seems I had been confused about where exactly my scores should have been. Saw a bunch of 8K scores on futuremark's site and got a little paranoid.

But the system specs look like this: An Opteron 170 @ 2.75Ghz, 2gb PC3200, and an A8N-SLI deluxe.

Those 8K guys have to be on SLI. I mean how the hell do you score that high? It's the same damn card.
