man i hope i didnt fry the thing. I was testing the card out after it came today before i installed the waterblock on it. I seemed to forget to remove the extra slot in the back of the computer, so the intake for the fans was blocked. I started running 3dmark06 and noticed between tests that my temp was getting really hot. I looked at the back and saw it blocked and immediatley shut down the comp. Anyways, i have my waterblock on there now and its running cool. I just hope i didnt damamge anything. There were not any artifacts while it was running. But here is a screen of the CCC are the clock speeds a little low? or am I reading it wrong? Says current VPU is 500 MHZ but thats too low same with ram

in 2d mode it down clocks to 500 core 600 memory it also lowers the voltage. Once in 3D full screen mode it clocks up to the "requested" amount. so yes your card is working as it should.

what is an average score on 3dmark06 with comparable system for a 1900? I can not break 6300 seems as though it should be higher
