I know this thread is for 06 but thought I would post this here anyways. 24346 in Vantage on the performance setting:

At that rate you’ll pass my current best, (16,328), soon. I noticed that we’re running similar systems except for the processor and my Sapphire is 512 instead of 1Gb memory. I’m able to clock the GPU higher though, (820-825 Core and about 1125 Memory), I wonder why?

I didn't really toy around with my GPU a whole lot, but I plan to max it out, I got it up to 810 and 1100 right now, we'll see how much more I can squeeze out of it.
 
The 182.06 drivers gave me 300 points.
It's nice set of drivers, solid fps boost in all my games. :)

the 9800GTx is quite a nice boost then over a 8800GT,i get 13,349 on my rig but thats running Vista.

You upgrading to Windows 7 at a later date or sticking with good old XP?
 
I think there is a problem with my score. Take a look:



I should score a lot higher than that. Also after I ran 3dmakr06, little dots were filling the screen up. You can see them in that picture. Since I restarted it, they have not been back yet.

Hi, is your 8800GTS overclocked? I've read that these when overclocked too much cards can show artifacts (dots on screen) when running games and benchmark tests. You'll find articles about this online. If it is overclocked, try lowering the mem clocks and run the test again. Artifacts should disappear and you should score higher.

I hope this helps.

baaaaah! :D I doubt vista 64 helps out either hehe. Man this OS is a performance hog!

Grab windows 7, i believe it uses less resources. Not to mention its better imo. I can throw an internet browser on the left, and throw word to the right, and "paraphrase" :) Lots of cool features.

your score does seem kind of low. When I first built my computer I accidentally ran vantage and my score was significantly low. Did you run the 06?
 
No my video card is not overclocked. In fact, it is underclocked a little, has to do with the display driver error.

Yes I ran 3dmark06.

I think I know why I scored so low. I tried to run it again and I kept getting the "display driver has stop responding and recovered" error. This is starting to tick me off:mad:

I just reinstalled Windows last night and I ran it again and scored 14126. So far that error has not came back since I reinstalled.

Hi Memory, have you tried going back to your stock speeds and running the 3Dmark06? Just check if you get the same error message.
