update, more of the same...

Pictures show that I have the same drivers (or so it says) as someone with an 8800GT, but their windows experience rating is significantly higher than mine even though my 9800GTX+ should blow it away.

Second pic is what I just got in 3d mark 06... a miserable 8900.

I've never heard of this happening and it's never happened to me. Try doing the following:
  1. Right click on Computer, select Properties
  2. In the left pane, select Advanced System Settings
  3. Navigate the the Hardware tab
  4. Select Device Installation Settings
  5. Tell Windows to not look for drivers.

Thanks, but I've checked that off already. I think thats only through windows update though thats why it continues to install.

Have you tried installing the system tools for nvidia and checked the clock speeds? also in the system tools you can see what your driver version is and compare it to what you installed. The new nvida drivers don't make you reboot after installing them fyi.

You also appear to be low on disk space, sure its not running out of page file space?

I'll download the Nvidia system tools and post a screeny. As for the hard drive space, that's after formatting my computer. Before I formatted i had lots of space and still had the same issue.

After you install the system tools go to the Performance tab -> View System Information. Then to the right look at the Geforce Video. It should show the driver version you installed. If you click on device settings the the GPU button on the right it will show you your clock speeds.

Drivers are saying 190.38 which is the new nVidia ones I installed. And the picture shows the clock speeds.
