crappy 3dmark score

[Jules]

im getting close to 5k on 3dmark05 and im running a 3.0E P4 1mb cache 800FSB, 7800GT 500mhz/1.5memory 2gb PQI ddr2 dual channel 3338 and i see others getting 8k how would i get that?

I'd say 8k in 3DMark05 could only be achieved by overclocking/SLI.

i get 7k in 3D mark 05, with my gt @432mhz/1.0memory...

1.5ghz memory? thats a huge overclock, could be that the card is overheating and throtling, hows the temp for it? Reduce the overclock and see what happens, sometimes when u overclock the card too much the performance actually decreases.

A stock gt 400/1.0 should get around 6.5k.

get rid of the P4, seems is the answer.

other than that, do you have all the quality settings turned to low?

 

[Sc4freak]

It's probably better not to do that, since most reviews and people (I think) leave the settings at default.

I got over 5K before I OCd my P4 and that was with an x800pro.

your 7800gt should be killing me.

I'm geting 6.5** with my stock x800xt pe, something must be wrong with your score.

your scores are low, doubt your P4 would be killing your score by that much, as other members have suggested, you should try checking your NV control panel. turn off aa/af, disable vsync, set to high performance...etc. i'm guessing 1.5ghz on your memory is a typo, did you mean 1.15ghz?
