That's a Great score for a 8800GT and a 3.0 Q6600. Best I could pull was 12725 out of my 2900XT with my CPU OC to 3.4Ghz.....now for something completely different.

I got my 4870X2 last night most exellent and most hot (really hot) but everyone knows that. I throw the card in load the 8.8CCC and bam 13875 booooooooo. hardly even an extra 1000 points CPU stock..so I uninstall the card and old drivers clean out the registry and try again 15675 much better but not quite to my liking or expecations I tweek some more and end up with 16725 much better yet still not what I expected. After playing with my processor speed it seems I am suffering major bottlenecks boooo not only does my cpu score go up with my OC but my SM 2.0 & 3.0 and FPS go up way more. I guess its WC for me I just cant sit at that level with this card I figure I should at least get 18000 without to much fuss. But in this process I also tried out Vantage for the first time very very nice.
