vista was killing my score.
so went dual boot with xp sp2. 8800gt sli @ stock qx6700 @ 3.2ghz striker 680i so my sli works nciely. ![]() first attempt at rivatuner i was getting artifacts @ 720/2000 so ill drop it back to 700/1950 next time. temps on the qx6700 were 41oC on load during 3dmark06 run. idle around 30oC. gfx temps idle @ 38 - 40oC so plenty of room to bring them up. when they were on 720/2000 with ati artifact test they hit 52oC. looks promising! |

I'm only getting around 11k with my setup. Is that normal for a rig like mine or should I be performing better? I would think that I should perform better with this setup? When I play crysis it really kick ass at high details. If this isn't a normal score for my setup I will like to know what might be wrong?

Yeah, that is also what concerns me. Im running xp 64-bit. Maybe BIOS is not up to date?

I would think so too . It performs very well in crysis and other games, and that is what matters. But I'm just wondering if it would be performing even better if I found out how I could make my score higher.
