Ive had odd scores with 3dmark 06 and the new 180.84 drivers from nvidia- some of the runs were faster but some of them were really slow (meaning the tests themselves)

But vantage was smoking fast- 36K with Physx on
Are you running vista 64? I have strange issues with 3dmark o6 also. some tests are faster, while the next test will be slower....Funny thing is, when you turn off HT You get much higher FPS and scores in 3dmark06!! Vantage goes a bit higher on cpu though!!
