performance problem

[syntax]

Heres my current setup:

P4 2.6 HT @ 2.9

eVGA 6800GT

Asus P4P800SE

1024mb Kingston Hyper X PC3200 Dual Channel DDR

80GB WD 7200rpm 8mb Cache HDD

Antec 430W Power Supply


I benchmarked about a month ago when I put this video card in and scored a 10482 on 3dmark03, and roughly a 5400 on 3dmark05 if I remember correctly.

About 1 week ago I formatted and a few days ago I benchmarked again and scored a 8000 in 03 and a 3100 in 05.

Today, I formatted, cleared cmos and reset everything in the bios, installed all current drivers and set page file correctly, and I benchmarked in 05 a few minutes ago and ive still got a 3100 score.

I have checked everything I know of that could possibly cause the problem and im out of ideas.

I checked the video card clock speeds and im running 351/1000, so thats not the issue. AA/AF/Vsync are off and image settings are at high performance.

Thanks

3100 seems a bit low at 351/1000, but you're not likely to get that much over 4000 without overclocking.

I was well into the 5000's with this exact same setup in 05, running at these exact same speeds. Something has gone wrong and I cant seem to put my finger on what. 2000+ points is a HUGE decrease.

do you have more details (baselines) to compare to?

I dont have much information other than what was given. I had typical scores for my setup, went to a lan, formatted, benchmarked a few days later after noticing poor framerates and its been that way ever since. This is the first time ive had a problem with nothing to go on. Its really quite strange.

doesnt ut2k3/2k4 and aquamark03 show the limitations, whether it's cpu/bus or gpu related? if so, maybe you could post some of those results or compare them to similar hardware.
