If your monitor is only 19", then the resolution is probably hindering you from getting a higher score. I found this out after hardly noticing an increase SLIing my 8800GT's and someone mentioned this too me.

Oh wait, is that it. I thought about that for a couple of seconds and then the thought went away like a little poof of smoke or like I had a short circuit in my brain. I'll try to hook my 19" up and see if that helps. if so rep+ coming your way. right now I'm testing on a 17" crt viewsonic m70 multimedia series...

It isn't so much the monitor size as it is the resolution. 1280x1024 seems to be the bottleneck for a lot of high end cards. If you really want to see what kinda damage they can do, go for larger widescreen resolutions. I'm at that resolution currently and hardly got a 600 point increase with SLI enabled.

ok. I just scored a 12357 which is a small gain in comparison to the 17". I guess I'll have to lug it into the living room and hook it up to the samsung 40" lcd 1080P at 1920*1280 and see if that helps.

Lol... it should GREATLY benefit your score. If it doesn't, I think something else might be brewing in thar.

I post my results when I finish. I have to do the figure out how I hook it up to the tv again. should be fairly easy I use a dvi to vga adaptor to hook up to tv in pc mode. for some reason the tv does not like the refresh rate or something else unless I use a vga plug and use the pc port to the tv... Any way I'll let you know as soon as I get the results. Now to check my wireless connections...

Well I finally got it hooked up to my tv. what a nightmare that was. I could not get my wireless g router working. had to reset it update the firmware and reconfigure the wirless ssid etc. Then my m2n32 sli deluxe wifi was not seeing the darn router. so after about 2 hours on phone with linksys teck support I just hard wired the computer pluged in my belkin usb wireless g adaptor and wala presto inta wifi connection... any way then I lugged pc into living room and hooked it up to 40 incher... via vga cable at resolution of 1920 * 1280 and this is all the score I got... I think is has to do with pcie 2.0 and this mobo only supporting pcie1.0 in any case the rep is yours for helping me improve the score almost 100 points...LOL
