Phenoms are known for clocking low in 06. And 06 being so CPU-dependent really kills scores for AMD rigs. Try going into your bios and pushing your CPU multi up one and run it again. You'll see your score soar.

The cards are fine, there are many who have no problems. Did you properly uninstall all of your old Nvidia drivers? Do a reinstall of Windows? What video drivers are you using? Is the rest of your system overclocked and what are the settings? (Speeds, voltage, timings, etc.) Are you sure your PSU can handle your system? What model Antec is it?

I haven't really heard any bad things about these cards. could be a driver issue.

Deffinitely use the 8.6 hotfix drivers. You'll need to overclock your CPU quite a bit since 3dMark06 is very CPU dependant.

What slots do you have the cards in? At what speeds are the pci-e slots reporting in CPU-Z?

FYI I had the same results at first with my 4850's CF & a Q6600 Stock I was in the 13k range in 3dmark06. Then I remembered I had just built the system and the cpu was stock and I needed to overclock it. I did a quick boost from 2.4ghz to 3.0ghz and my score massively jumped from 13k to 17k!

Goes to show how important a good cpu is, 3dmark06 is half cpu for the score in the first place, then secondly dual cards require more cpu power to run than a single one. Going all the way from 3ghz to now 3.6ghz and my score only went from 17k to just short of 19k. So there was most definitly a cpu bottleneck there with the stock speeds.

I have the mobo, and it's still confusing to me! For now.. just up the multiplier till you get to 3ghz on that thing. Set the CPU voltage to 1.35v. See if it boots? Remember, your cpu can be overclocked separately from the rest of your system with it's unlock multi.

I think people can get the 9850's to run at 2.9 without touching voltages.

I'm going to see if Kei can chime in here, hes had plenty of experience with the phenoms.
