Try taking the dual screen off for the moment, you will get better scores as the gpu will not be rendering images for the second screen and will be able to focus mainly on your primary monitor

Alright...that's what I was thinking, and what I was told when I bought the card. Here's my current motherboard and cpu info. Someone on another forum said that my motherboard may not support duel core? Any good suggestions for a new processor in the $100-$200 range?

So I dowloaded and nstalled the demo vrsion ran it and got much lower than I was expecting.

662 3D Marks
SM2.0 of 258
HDR/SM3.0 of 206
CPU Score of 1431

This seems like a fairly miserable performance to me; is the problem the GPU being the bottle neck or is something else wrong?

Today (actrually before this) I ordered a new GPU (XFX 7600GT). An estimates as to how much that will improve things?

My current system is in my sig and is running stock (no OC).
