He beats me in all of the different tests, but our systems are almost identical. Also, I have no clue why it says my core clock is 529...it's set at 490 but it comes up higher. Even with it higher on the tests, he gets 2000 higher than me :(

Have you tried different drivers?

It might help if you used better ram.

Not to be insulting but you pay for what you get when you buy value ram.

I would help you, except for the fact that you are obviously very rich to sell a 6800 Ultra to buy a 7800GTX.

My 3DMark scores are low because I haven't formatted my PC in over a year :D

..and that's even after upgrading a motherboard, CPU, RAM, HDD, and videocard. :shock:

I'm such a lazy bugger...
