Overclocking 6800GT to Ultra speeds results in lower benchmarks?

Just finished building a new rig:
A64 3200
ASUS K8N-E
1GIG RAM
6800GT
350W Antec PSU

This is the exact card:
http://www.bjorn3d.com/read.php?cID=660&pageID=844

Scores 57,000'ish in Aquamark3 @ stock speeds.
Once clocked to 400/1000, scores are around 56,000:confused:

Running 61.77 drivers & coolbits 2.0.

Also ran some lower clock speeds (ie 375/1050, 360/1020) & everytime the stock speed results in higher scores. Any ideas?



TIA,
chris

VC temp doesn't exceed 65c
CPU & MB temps are within normal limits also

Try a different benchmark, too. I'd try some timedemo from an actual game you play instead of a benchmark, which will just not be as accurate.

Unless you plan on playing a whole lot of AquaNox.
