Thanks again
Hey, you wanna check out the bios on the motherboard to see if there's any settings affecting the PCIe slots. I found a few settings in there that boosted my graphics card performance significantly. Before i was getting roughly the same 3dmark05 scores as you, and afterwards, getting 6k and up.
The settings you should look for are:
PEG buffer length - set to [long]
PEG link mode - Set to [faster]
There's a couple others, but they don't seem to have as much of an impact.
Hows you memory performing? Can i see a sisoft sandra memory bandwidth benchmark? Oh, and pcmark05. :D
Good job!
