I just got an XFX GTX275 to replace my BFG 9800GT. this benchmarking on 3dmark06 at 10959 3d marks which is only marginally faster than the 9800Gt it replaced. system details below, any ideas?
Asus M3A mobo / BIOS Ver. 0901
Phenom 8450 triple core CPU Rev B3
2 x OCZ DDR2 PC2-8500 / 1066 MHz / Reaper HPC Edition / 2GB / (BIOS timings set manually to CAS 5 / TRCD 5 / TRP 5 / TRAS 18)
onbard Realtek Audio
400GB Hitachi HDD
NVIDIA Drivers version 186.18
Windows XP
DirectX 9.0c
Enermax 600W Power supply
I'm using 3dmark06 basic (free) version to test. I also tried BIOSHOCK, Fort Frolick level which gave me problems with my old card, it's noticably better, but still jumpy at times.
I really hope this isn't a hardware bottleneck somewhere else, I can't afford to upgrade anymore kit
