Asus 9800gt, bad performace, what to do

[war5600]

Recently , I purchased asus 9800gt , installed on MSI P43 NEO3 , CPU is intel e7400. When I run 3dmark06, I find somethingstrange. It gets only about 7000 3dmarks (CPU marks are normal, drivers are ok , default setting) . And 3dmark vantage only gets about 4000 in performace mode. That's really bad, since I found 9800gt will get over 10000 in 3dmark06 and about 5000 in vantage. I don't know where the problem is.

I suspect there's something wrong with 9800gt's bios , but unluckily, no suitable bios in asus website.

Post a GPU-Z and CPUZ screenshot? Are you sure the BIOS settings are correct for your CPU?

how does it actually perform in games?

your GPU-Z numbers are all normal (checked it with my asus 9800GT), does it give you FPS within range in games?

Is your bios version same as mine ?
