Wow, shows you how important the CPU is in this, since my 6600GT is clocked marginally higher and you gave me a solid beating...awesome info mate:D

Interesting to note, i suppose 512 was only just mainstream for gaming when this came out tho, so it makes sense...

Not really. It's kinda obvious that Aquamark3 would be CPU limited on a lot of rigs today.

Your score is just like my 94k. Thats with SLI and a Dual Core Opty at 2.75ghz.
I know someone with a single core opty at 3ghz and a X1900XTX who scores 100k.

No biggie. You rig is just fine so don't worry.
(also YGMP)

No.

Try it with a FX-62 or a 6800XE coupled with a x300 se and you'll still get a crappy score ;)

Seems low to me, as I get 107k with only ONE 7900GT...and even clocked a bit lower...

Btw...where are the C2D fanboys shattering that score... :p
