What are your individual 3D Mark scores? Will certainly narrow down where the problem is.

What driver are you running? Make sure you have the latest betas from nVidia's site.

I remember I had a horrible 3D Mark score when I got my 8800GTS, lower than my X1900XT. Turned out to be my PCI-E lane was set @ 2X. Seems that is not your problem though.

Have patience. Can't give up so easily, getting PC's to work well takes some time but it is usually worth it. :)

Did you want to play it on 9 monitors simultaneously? That game would never need such a system.

plumcuda... you... remind me of someone that used to be on this forum. I think a few others might get my drift.

Alright, so the problem is clearly the whole system, not one component. Q6600 should get around 3500~ for the CPU score and SM2/SM3 scores should be much higher (although they are more in line with correct scores than your CPU score).

Have you tried reinstalling Windows? Pretty big PITA but with such a big problem it is worth a try.

system is only 3-4 months old .... I think if I ever went with a new install, I would go back to XP pro.

What motherboard do you have? Do you have the latest chipset drivers? Probably not the problem, but worth a shot.

Definately check the clocks on everything, make sure nothing is running slow.

Could the low scores have anything to do with having 2 monitors? I know the test only runs on one monitor .... I dunno ... just looking for answers.

Have you tried setting single display performance mode in the drivers? Also force vsync off, then run the benchmark again.

*I was getting lowish scores at first until I made these adjustments, now I hit about 14.4k.

Go to Manage 3D Settings in the drivers, and scroll down to Multi-display/Mixed-GPU Acceleration. Set it to, "Single Display Performance Mode," if it is not already. Then set Vsync off. Also make sure Threaded Optimization is set to, "Auto."

I have the exact same setup except running XP, and I managed a ~15500 +/- 20, can't remember exactly. The OS appears to have a major impact on scores, although my setup is pretty substantially overclocked nowadays.

Latest graphics card drivers?

Tried reformatting?

Tried running with only 2GB of RAM (stress tested your GPU for artifacts, CPU for stability, RAM for errors?)

Tried any hotfixes?

Tried the GPU in someone elses computer?
