bottleneck... again...

[Black-Syth]

My system is slowing down once again... before i could pull off 15,000+ 3Dmarks in 3dmark 2001 SE. Today i benched it again getting only 7900 3dmarks...

I updated many of my drivers and tested again, same results. What can the problem be? BTW, my card clock speeds are back at stock...

you might want to try overclocking your card again. that is really a big drop.

its a 9700pro... i dont really need to OC. BTW i have a 2.66 P4 running at 3.43Ghz... im fine hardware wise. I have the newest driver, and i just scanned for viruses. There is some sort of system idle process running... could this be the reason?

i get 8300 benchmark with my ti4200 :\

forget it... the problem was a corrupted driver i downloaded from ATi.com I downloaded it again and i installed it... i came out happy with 14,998 3dmarks... thanks for your help....
