Before anything, here is a spec of my computer.

2.6GHZ Intel 4 HT technology
80gb/300gb internal HDs, one external 120gb HD.
1gb dual channel DDR400 ram
BFG 6800GT OC (default 370/1000) AGP slot

I have it overclocked to 400/1050. I experienced some serious artifacts @ 410/1100. It still shows some artifacts at current setting(400/1050), which I don't really care for.

I did a 3DMARK05 test on just today(with overclocked setting, all applications turned off), and here are the results.

3DMark Score: 4947
GT1 - Return To Proxycon: 20.1fps
GT2 - Firefly Forest: 14.3fps
GT3- Canyon Flight: 27.0 fps

CPU Score: 4000
CPU Test 1: 2.3fps
CPU Test 2: 3.1fps

Feature Tests
Fill Rate - Single Texturing: 3598.0 MTexels/s
Fill Rate - Multi-Texturing: 6010.6 MTexels/s
Pixel Shader: 156.8 fps
Vertex Shader - Simple: 49.8 MVertices/s
Vertex Shader - Complex: 37.9 MVertices/s

Batch Size Tests
8 Triangles: 2.3 MTriangles/s
32 Triangles: 7.8 MTriangles/s
128 Triangles: 25.8 MTriangles/s
512 Triangles: 61.7 MTriangles/s
2048 Triangles: 88.2 MTriangles/s
32768 Triangles: 101.9 MTriangles/s

Test Setting: 1024x768, Anti-Aliasing:None, Texture Filtering:Optimal, VS/PS Profile:3_0.

Games Playing:
COD2: I just use "Optimal Setting" that the game recommands. Works flawlessly.
Need for Speed Most Wanted: 1024x768 resolution, I can't max out all the settings because it'll create some lag. I lower the settings by a little, it'll run fine.
F.E.A.R: You know the deal. Nowhere close to max. FPS drops to like 0.1 if I do.

Can anyone tell me what the hell is wrong?

EDIT: Oh yeah, Nvidia Temperature guide always show 62degree. Under heavy load, it rises up to 72degrees. Is this normal? My case is cooled by two brand new fans, case side covers all taken off, graphic card cooler below the 6800GT OC.

you need a much faster cpu. You do beat me in 3dmark 2005 but your games dont run as well as they should. My games run great thanks to my overclocked venice a64.
 
My old system was a P4 3.0G OC'd to 3.25GHz... all on the old 533MHz bus architecture. My vid card was an AGP X850 XT PE OC'd through CCC to 560ish. 2Gig of Generic RAM running at 140'ish MHz. I could just barely break 6k with all the overclocks.

I think my stock settings were getting around 5,400 score or so in 3dM'05.
 
i was getting like 5000 in 3dmark 05, and like 3500 in cpu, but to figure out my fan wasnt sitting right after that i get 6100+ on 3d score and about 6100 on cpu

with 6800gs at 485mhz anywhere past 500/1150 i get artifacts dont know why its a xfx 6800gs XXX edition factory oc to 485mhz

but on max i can run BF2 and get 70ish fps pretty solid

trying to figure out that response, OCC550, did you actually read what you posted?

your scores seem average for that setup what is the problem? and yes your cpu is a bottleneck in that system.
