Low 3dMark scores - help.

[jEevion]

Hey everyone. I recently ran some 3dMark benchmarks and I found my scores rather disappointing. Here's my rig:

AMD64 3200+ Winchester s939 @ 2.55GHz
eVGA eGeForce 7800GT CO @ 485/1200
DFI LanPartyUT NF4 Ultra-D
OCZ Dual Channel Platinum PC3200 Rev. 2 3-4-4-7 255MHz
WD Raptor 74GB
SB Audigy2 ZS
OCZ Powerstream 520W

3dMark03 - 15, 333
3dMark05 - 6879

My 7800GT is currently in PICe slot 2, would this have any impact on performance? Thanks for your help.

I put my card in the first PCIe slot, here's what happened:

3dMark03 - 16766
3dMArk05 - 7893

Does these still seem low?

Those scores sound right. Make sure you have updated drivers. I ordered mine this morning. I hope mine will oc to about the same as yours.

They tested the evga back in August. It will give you a comparison.

really you should be checking the ORB to see whether your scores compare to similar pcs.. though i must admit, sometimes the ORB is a pain in the rear scrolling through page after page to find decent results.. but to me those scores look to be about right, nice spotting of putting it in the 16X slot instead of the 2X slot
