I got my system put together finally:

3400+ nc
DFI Lanparty UT nF250
1 GB PDP Patriot ram
Leadtek 6800GT
Samsung 120GB HDD
Fortron Blue Storm 500w power supply

I ran it 3 times, each one 8000. I was kinda expecting closer to around...10000 or so.

Thanks for help!
 
Definitely seems low to me as well. I would go through and check all of your settings and make sure everything is set where it needs to be.
 
Make sure AA and AF are both off. Also make sure you have the latest chipset and video drivers installed.
 
ya, i know it's way low.

I'm not connected to the net on it currently, and am forced to use stock chipset and 61.77 video drivers. Would that be the cause right there?
 
Hmm.. I doubt that. Drivers usually don't improve performance "that" much unless it's a magic driver that's meant to boost a certain game, benchmark, etc. As far as I know, most of the nvidia drivers haven't had much discrepancy as far as 3dmark2003.

 
that's definitely low. I get over 8700 3Dmarks on my system below all at stock setting with only a 6800NU card. You definitely need the newest Nforce chipset drivers and the 66.93 nvidia video drivers.
 
I got 10573 3dmark03, Dell 400SC,PentIV 2.8, 1 GB PC3200RAM, BFG6800oc(nu) Overclocked to 410/870. Running the Nvidia 66.??? drivers. Stock clock I got close to 10,000. Do you have the correct motherboard drivers???
 
i noticed in aquakmark 03 my score go higher and higher as i tried each driver from oldest to newest starting at 66.93..


I'd get the 71.90 drivers and give her another run
 
Same Problom here. I have the latiest drivers even tried the bata drivers. Everything is LOW Sis tests show no issue. I am going to try reloading and if that does not chang anything may see if I can return my video card I have been working on this for 2 weeks now even bought a new OCZ 520W powerstream NO CHANGE MFT is pissing me OFF
 
11,800ish with my Athlon XP 2500+ at 2.2 Ghz, 1GB ram, and BFG 6800GT @ 400/1100. So yes, your scores are low. I barley get above 12k in 3Dmark 2001 se, so that always seemed strange to me. Maybe these tests are not accurate...

-spike

P.S. I did a search on futuremarks site and the average score for my CPU ( 2-2.2ghz AXP), a 6800GT, and 1GB ram seems to be between 10,500 and 12,500, so with a A64 and an GT you should be higher than that...
 
i'm fine now, i'm not sure wat was wrong, but yesterday i went and tested it one more time, and BOOM...I got 10,900. I'm not sure wat the problem was, but i did it about 4 times after that to make sure and each time it got within 25 points or so, so i'm ok now!

Thanks for all ur help anyways!
