Slow 3D Mark Score?

I know this thread has been done to death lol but I just need a second opinion, ive just upgraded from this :

Mobile 2500+ @ 2.7GHz
1gb Kingston PC 4000 Hyper X
6800GT
NF7S V2

Which got 4150 05 3D Marks

To this :

PIV 3.4GHz Northwood @ 3.75GHz
1gb Kingston HyperX PC 4000
IC7 Max 3
6800GT

Which gets 4000 05 3Dmarks

No my understanding is that a 3.4GHz PIV with a 6800 GT should score around 4500 3dmarks, so I should be getting a lot higher? and whislt benching I have the vid card at 400 core and 1.14Ghz memory.

Any ideas? somthing im missing?

Havent yet tryed any other benchmarks, will do tonight.

Thanks in advance :)

I had the same prob with my rig (see below) only did 3892 05 3D marks, yet it steams thro Far Cry & Doom like there's no tomorrow. When it had an overclocked FX 53 in it, it scored only 4032.

What drivers?

66.7 onwards are best in 3dmark05 although don't expect too much more.

my ultra @ 461/1280 only got 5725 (with xp-m @ 2.6ghz)

66.7's & card clocked @ 415/1100

Did you turn off aa/af/anistropic (spelling?).

You have to do it in the driver performance bit, used to be done automatically in 3dmark03.

Ah, I thought 3D Mark did it all automatic.
