Low Benchmark results in Ati 5970

[maniabot]

hello everyone. i have a problem with a new 5970 i bought.
games are runing but it seems like the GPU is not giving a normal high results in benchmarks like he should give.

i run few benches in:
3D Mark06
----------
Total 26835

1280x1024
x8AA
optimal

3D Mark Vantage
------------------
GPU-19403
CPU-25691

1280x1024 mode
all extreme
anisotropyx16
in post nothing is checked
Heaven Benchmark v2.0
-----------------------
1255 total
FPS-49.8
min-17
max-105

settinges all high
anisotropy x16

mode-1280x1024x8AA
(my lcd monitor is 19")

Crysis bench tool.
-------------------
avarge fps 42 in 1280x1024
16QX
all very high.

another thing
virtual mark score 27800


well the results are very poor and i am really dissapointed i thought that maybe the GPU is not good.

i also had a ram problems 2 erorrs in memtest86 after 10 hours of scaning (6 passes) but i dont know if its really the problem.

hope for some serious answers (-:

Why are you running such a low resolution ? You score will raise very significantly if you clock up your CPU,at that res you are cpu dependent.

Download msi afterburner and let it run in the background during graphical tests , it will log GPU utilization among other things , make sure both gpu's are utilized during the test.

Easy answer.

2.66ghz CPU

1280x1024 resolution

Too slow, too small..

Confirmed. Contemporary CPUs are no match for highly parallelized GPUs.
