Alright I just ran 3Dmark2001se and got 12,211 3dmarks. If im right this is a low score. Why am I getting such a low score?

Specs:

Non-overclocked 2800+
9800xt OC'd to 450/371
1gb pc-3500 Mushkin lvl2
 
Only thing I could say are drivers , I have a 2800 running 2.2ghz and my 9800 pro is OC'd exactly as far are yours , though I'm getting about 7k pts more. Same RAM as you as well , so it's definetly a driver issue IMO.
 
Which drivers are you using? Because I have the latest ati drivers.
 
Yeah, i'm running a softmodded 9500 n/p -> 9700 at ~440/317 right now, and my 3dmark score is 12k~... which sucks ass.

My D3D slider isn't all the way at 'most performance' or whatever, but it still shouldn't be this low.. i just did a voltmod on my card and my core is ~1.6v and my vmem = 3.0 ish

Got my 3.3ns infineon past the damn 300 mhz barrier.. it'll run 317+ without artifacts, but 330 locks up and the core doesn't seem to be wanting to do 450mhz...

I need a better multimeter before going any further, i'm not positive as to how many volts i'm feeding this poor card... (it's analog)...

I'm using the latest cats too, but i've always liked the 3.7 cats. The onyl reason i upgraded is becuase i formatted my drive :p

It's kind of weird too, i got a 14k with a 400/300... but i am running a slower processor right now (1800+ instead of the 2k+ in my sig)
 
Make sure you have AA/AF off, that sounds like it could be part of the problem because that really IS a low score. I get close to 1000 more points on the system in my sig and everything you have is faster
 
I played with the settings a little but I only got about 15k . My bios doesnt even have a 200mhz fsb option!

what motherboard? im sure the extra 33FSB would help a lot

Hmm..I don't know. Its the mobo that came in my Biostar 200N. I think I'm going to flash the bios later when I get home and see if that makes a difference.
 
hmmmmmmmmm........something is wrong. i get better than that in 3dmark01 with my ti4600 and current hardware configuration.
