Not really sure where I should of posted this so I put it here. Basically I just scored 11,633 in 3dmark06 with a sapphire 4870 512mb and 3ghz on my cpu. That seems kinda low to me so I'm wondering if it is. I figure my score won't be great since I don't have a great cpu but with a slightly higher clock and xp instead of vista 64 I was pulling 12k with a 8800gt. So is that score about right or is there something I should do?

I just clean the computer up so its not infected with anything or running much in the background.
I uninstalled the nvidia drivers/software and installed the Catalyst Control Center with driver version 8.561.0.0
All the settings on on stock.

Been a while since I've had a ati card so if theres any thing big or small I should do let me know please.
 
Uninstall the drivers again, then use Driver Cleaner Pro to get rid of all the reg keys and stuff - do this under safe mode. Then reinstall.

It should be getting alot more than that. Thats around what i get, and my gpu should be nowhere near yours. How are games compared to your 8800GT? Is there any stuttering, artifacts etc?

You have a quad, he has a dual core.

That score looks on the spot.

Hd48xx series doesnt do so well in 3dmark.
 
if you clock the nuts off them along with your cpu they do :D If I had a yorkfield I'm pretty sure I could get 20k with a single 4870
 
Ok well I'll try the games with it now. Problem there was I don't really recall exacts on my fps since I haven't played any newer games with fraps running in a while. Thats why I was using 3dmark for refrence. Oh and I used nasty file remover to completely get rid of the nvidia driver. Besides 3dmark do you guys think my cpu will slow me down a lot? It does seem to hit 100% usage pretty often...
 
guru what do you score now with your wolfie?
i score about 17K with mine. the cpu makes a pretty big difference. but i cant OC this 1gb for ****.
