I was rather disappointed when I reloaded XP a few weeks ago, performance was almost identical.

EDIT: That score seems dead on actually, I just searched it through ORB, a lot of people around 13,000 in 06 with sli'd 320's!

Yeah I got 11,000 with one card and then 13,000 with SLI. I went back to XP and ran 3dMark 06 again and got 15,046

. I will post the pic when I get back home from work. If Vista is going to play with the benchies like this what's going to happen when I play dx10 games? Will my performance suffer should I have just got the GTX? Well like I said the XP drivers seems to help the bench marks with like a 2k difference.

edit: All right here is the score with XP instead of Vista and the scores look good to me

You may want to fix the core clock of your video card in your sys specs. 400 Mhz doesn't sound like superclocked to me. :P I got 15704 with my gtx's, kinda scary if you are this close with your GTS's. What did you have them clocked at during the benchies.

They are the stocked core clocks are 576/1700 (is what evga's system specs are) I think the 400 was the specs I forgot to change from the 7600GS 512's I had. I want to oc see these but, not to sure how...I was impressed with these scores but is it due to the fact that I just installed XP clean with almost no programs? I have a question thought with the big difference in scores from vista to XP how will that effect my gaming? Will vista hold me down or are there not enough drivers or something right now?

havin basically nothing running in the background definitely helped you out there. after using that for a couple months and the number of processes is up you will probably see lower scores but that is still impressive

Hmm, thats interesting. hopefully its just because of Vista being so new and drivers not super optimized yet. DX10 I bet you would see an improvement though, would only make sense. But to see a decline in older programs/games is not to cool :/ .

Wow those scores are very very good, that machine is gonna be smokin!! I bet you are especially glad you have those cards now after the release of the dismal benchmark results from the R600!

The only thing dismal is your common sense.

Yes I am glad to have these cards. No I need to learn how to oc them with Vista
