Why is my GTX benchmarking lower

Alright i had my BFG 7800GTX OC at 510/1390 and here is a screenshot of my scores. Now looking at other scored my vid scores seem lowers than that of a regular old Gt. Does anyone know why? Can anyone help me?

WOW. I get like 4200 with my GT, of course, I have a FX-57 equivalent, and you have intel crap, so I suppose that's about normal. 🙂 (no offense to you)

EDIT: and only a gig of ram doesn't help much either.
 
see on other forums i am seeing gt's scoring just as i do. I am not talking about the overall score. I am talking about my graphics score and by the looks of other GT's they are scoring sometimes 100 or more over me.

ok check this here is this person setup

7800 GT
2.8 Pentium 4 LGA 775
Generic Mini ATX mobo (CPU and mobo came with HP retail computer)
Aspire 500W PSU (but.. its so shiny) :
1 gig of Corsair value ram

and then thier score

and another with a GT yea he has an opeteron but look at the scores on the shader tests
 
Yes, you're coming up about 250-300 points short on the SM3.0 tests. I wonder though if any of that is CPU related or not. Since your CPU is clearly not measuring up to the Opteron guy's score of 1600-something.
 
the 3GHz P4 is definitely a bottleneck. The P4 is not particularly good in games, especially at such a low speed. Have you tried OCing it? Depending on the core, you might be able to get it up to 3.6GHz or so, which would help to avoid the CPU-limiting effect you're seeing.
 
3dmark06 is highly influenced by dual core.
A dual core vs a single core can actually add 1000points or so.

aside from that CPU plays a much bigger role than alot of people think in giving the graphics card the juice it needs.

I broke 6300 with my rig which has "Only a gig of ram". But I have a 7900gt OC'd to GTX speeds and a 3800+ x-2 OC'd to 4600+ speeds.

Also check your driver settings. High quality or AA or AF being enabled will lower your scores. Also be sure to set them to 3dmark06 in the profile menu.
 
also I see older versions of forceware on your desktop. If you are running 64bit windows you can download 84.24 drivers from guru3d.com
otherwise go get the 84.43 beta drivers from nvidia.com
