i'm pretty sure that is a decent score for 05 unless you are asking if it is too high

Thats a decent score. If you overclock your vid card you will get a much higher score in the upper 7000's.

The problem is that when i overclock at all the computer starts acting strange, and i also get artifacts. I don't know whether it is because of my graphics card or my computer, but i think that the card is to blame.

The only thing i am worried about is my fps. In CS:S and half-life 2 at max settings with antialiasing at 4x and filtering at 8x i get about 35-130 fps. During large firefights it is common for me to get into the 40fps range. Is this particularly odd with my setup? everyone i talk to during the game brags about how they get such a high fps with systems that should be worse than mine. It is frustrating to have to think that there is something wrong with my pc that i can't figure out.
