Jay,
Thats a great Score on your first set-up with a single 8800GTX..really, I'm impressed! My 780i running a single 8800GTX with my E8400 OC'd to 3.8 Ghz was around 13,200 3DMarks (I think, may have been E8400 @ 3.6 Ghz...)
Got my new GTX 280 installed yesterday, runs warm, much like the old 8800GTX...74 celcius under Full Load Crysis.

PS I have now switched to using "Precision Tool" for OC'ing, I was using Riva Tuner prior though.

thanks for the boost 0f confidence there)
hmm, wonder why so high? maybe im doing something wrong, 92gb/s card is stock
no OC(dont know howYet)
this was other 8800 i benched btw, temp. where 49 idle never went over 60 under load...open air fans galore too..lol

For 3dMark06 benching, the memory settings are pretty much meaningless. That quad-core is worth a lot of points over the dual-core, as well.

Personally, I'd suggest Rivatuner for overclocking the graphics card.

I use EVGA Precision for OC my card. Its pretty darn good. Also, that card is a pretty high OC in stock form. Its a beast!

wasn't sure

Yep, thats the big difference between my 13.2 and yours Jay is the Quad Core, you're getting some high "CPU Points" compared to my E8400.

Personally, I'd suggest Rivatuner for overclocking the graphics card.

Just curious,...why?...I found Riva Tuner to be great, however, I find precision to be a lot easier and user friendly and you can still set-up Profiles etc.. No offence, I used to use Riva until I started playing around with Precision.

Very simple to set-up so that you can monitor :
1. Core Speed
2. FPS
3. Temps
onscreen while you're Benching.
