Hey all, i just bought a geforce 7800gtx and i ran 3d mark and i'm getting scores of 5000.
I have looked online and people with my same rig are getting around 7000 and higher. I installed the latests video drivers (twice) and have directx running as well. I couldn't find the d/l for SP2 on microsoft so i didn't worry about that.
My rig is
Athlon64 X2 4200
Msi NX 7800GTX
Corsair 2G (2x1g)
80gig hd
Sound Blaster adigy 2 ZS
The case i have is a Xaser III Lanfire case from thermaltake. It comes with a 420W psu (nvidia says you need a 350 for the 7800).Any suggestion on why my score is so horribly low. I havn't really went into the bios because i'm not sure as far as the video options go.I even unplugged some of the fans in my case to see if it would give more power to the GPU but i don't think it helped at all. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. I tried to place some screenshots but they're too big even in .jpg format.

I also wanted to note that when i'm running 3dmark05 and it runs past the airboat scene, the first time it runs it it's very nice and smooth, but the second time it runs that scene it gets between 0 and 2 fps.
