Not at all, is it overclocked? Cause I think that's where they top out at!

nope, it's right out of the box. Did a Video Card BIOS update, and installed the new Dets.

I'd say you got a good card then. If you overclock it, you may get a better score...

Enable coolbits in the registry at this link

and SLOWLY inch that slider up. Beware though, MXs have passive heatinks...you may not get much out of it, and may ruin you card...

Speaking of 3dmarks, I'm kinda disappointed in mine. I got a 4890

I know my CPU/mobo is a bit outdated now but I think it should be a bit higher; like maybe in the mid to high 5000's. I stopped all non-essential processes running before the test too. Maybe some of it is that I'm using Omega drivers and also I've installed, uninstalled, re-installed drivers and programs a ton of times.

Oh well. At least the games I have look ok.

Gigabyte GA-8KVNXP
A64 3200 1MB Cache "CG" stepping

1GB Centon PC3500 DDR (CAS 2.5)

2 x 36GB WD SATA Raptor in RAID0
IDE 200GB Seagate

Goatman: I heard the Omegas were better quality, but I have yet to see it really.

Catch: I will be formatting, but only when I upgrade my system (when the Hammer comes out providing it lives up to its hype and if it ever gets here). I have too many apps and adjustments to make formatting a "regular" thing.

I may uninstall the Omega drivers and try the newer Dets again, maybe that'll help.

Wow!!!
I just downloaded and installed the newer nvidia drivers (from visiontek) and that REALLY helped my score: 8657!

I think I can be happy with that

Oh, in case anyone needs proof:
