I recently bought a 9800 pro 256mb card from newegg.
I am receiving what I consider to be very substandard scores using 3dmark2001se and 3dmark2003.
My system:
[email protected], bus @ 250
512mb 500DDR Ram @ 414
gigabyte GA-8IK1100
Software: winxp sp1, catalyst 3.10
this system simply blows away all its competitors in sandra so i know that everything besides the Gfx card is functioning and speedy (memory, harddrive, cpu tests).
However, my 3dmark2001 score is 15,900
my 3dmark2003 score is a lowly 5300.
I am seeing stock 9800 pro systems reaching 18,000 and 6000 respectively in reviews.
Can anyone shed any light on why my graphics card seems to be sucking?
Thanks!
