Very low 3Dmark06 scores for 8800 GTS

[commandercup]

I just double checked if my 8800 was in the correct slot; and I am 100% sure its in the correct PCI slot. I think I need to change something in the BIOS to set it to 16x. However I have no idea which option to change; I've changed nearly all of them so far and none have worked. Using riva tuna I got this diagnostic report:

Could that be the problem?

how'd you do that diagnostic? I've got rivatuner... dunno what that is

I"ll try mine and see if it says 16x or 8x selected

make sure your card is in the primary PCIE slot, your mobo will say PCIE_16x_1 or something of the sort next to the slot

anyways, with my 4200+, I hit around 8200 stock everything, so you should be getting higher, I hit nearly 9000 overclocked

honestly, do you know what are you talking about?

your stock score in the 7k's are fine, i get about 6900 at stock

6900? What's your setup? I got that with my 7900GT!

 

[decibaL]

3600 and 8800gts

 

[gurusan]

3600 and 8800gts

ah 3600 @ stock thats why. Have you overclocked it yet?

 

[decibaL]

i can hit 9898 with up to 3.1ish with 8800gts @ 630/930

everytime I try to OC my 8800 my 3Dmark will crash somewhere during the testing, and I dont even OC it that much!, last setup I OC it too 650/850 and it crashed during the forest test...

@commandercup when run riva tuner under the main tab hit the top customize button you should get a selection of options you can do click on the graphic subsystem diagnostic report.

so yeah, your computer has a problem with 8x being selected
