Try the removing the 256mb memory stick as we talked about before.
Run 3d mark 05 .
Then tick the box in AtiTool in settings, Lock reference divider.
Run the test again
You can change the fan speed also, lock it to a fixed percentage of 80 or more, 100% for testing.

You have nothing to lose by trying it.

Tried it score is now 4676 . . .
 
A slight improvement. Not as much as I thought there would've been. 🙁
You gave it a shot.

Have you set any of the AA/AF quality settings in the control centre? Higher quality will slow your frames or scores down, better to set these in game if you want them.

Have them set at off/off.

Also, as an experiment, I plugged the RAM back in ... left everything else the same and I got the EXACT same score! ha ha
