New 6800GT not giving me the performence I expexted

[chameleon239]

Is there anything wrong with is setup. I think I should be getting more out of this card. My machine is an AMD64 2800+ o/c to 2.2, 512mb DDR, and of course the 6800 Gt with 61.76 drivers. Any suggestions?

maybe AA/AF is on?

 

[chameleon239]

nah man its off. I cant understand shy its so low?

 

[chameleon239]

Is it the amount of ram by any chance? I will be getting another 512 mb stick soon. Maybe that will help.

Have you run some game benchmarks? How do they compare to your old card?

 

[MercenaryForHire]

Fresh install, or migrating from older card?

My 6800 GT gave me a 65k aquamark with crap CPU OC. It also gave 11k+ 3DM03

Migrating from Geforce 3 and not a fresh install. I didnt try aquamark yet. But the games are all very smooth. Just want the most out of my card that why the concern.

I have the same mobo, a 3400+, 6800GT, and 1gig of ram. With everything stock, it gets about 11.5k, with the 61.76 drivers. With AA/AF off, and lowest quality on other driver options. Ram doesnt matter much at all, and the CPU only matters a little. You should be getting around 11k I imagine.

I just ran aquamark 03 and I got a score of 33,000+. Is that good?

 

[Pete]

Horrible, if Safeway is right. Is AGP working, or are you in PCI mode? Did you try reinstalling the drivers?

I'd say something is wrong my 6800nu and barton combo scores a fair bit higher than that.

😀 phonetic spelling at its best, try voila! You should try tweaking your ram speeds as well that will get you a nice boost.

You could've also used driver cleaner and followed these instructions.

edit: posted a reply after reading only your initial post ... DOH!

Those #'s would seem to be off.
I have a similar setup (A64 @ 2.2ghz on a NF3-250 board w/ 512mb Corsair) and I get 12,000 in 3dMark03 and 22,000+ in 3dMark01 using the 61.76 drivers.

Install these new nForce 4.27 drivers ... most importantly the GART, then try 3dmark again.

I saw a score once around 8k in 3dmk03 and it was b/c the nForce (GART) was accidentally removed while using drivercleaner or manually (by mistake).

Sometimes it hurts. 🙂

Now stop futzing around with benchmarks and start futzing around with games, chameleon. 🙂
