New Evga 6600gt

[dumbomustflyy]

just got the evga 6600gt 128mb and i used 3dmark05 to benchmark, i only get around 860. i see most people get at least 3000, my computer specs amd64, 2800+ socket754, mobo chaintech vnf3-250, mushkin ram 512mb pc3200, WD 80GB and my PSU is an Antec 350watt w/ +12V, 21A, 0.8A. Just got the card, reformatted and installed card with Forceware 81.95 drivers, installed 3DMark05, left all settings on the program default. on the Nvidia drivers i turned off AA/AF and Image settings at high Performance and still get 860. anyone have any ideas? thanks

do you have any motherboard drivers you forgot to load up? any nforce3 drivers?

I know I have some I have to load with my DFI nforce3 board.

thanks! fixed!, i dont exactly know how it fixed it, but here are the thigns i did, update the motherboard drivers, replug the molex to the card, i got a differ molex to plug in. score was 3200 or around there, not the best of the best, but better then 800.

3200 is about what id expect from that rig @ stock

Mine got 3700 with a 3500+ and 1GB dual channel RAM.
