nah thats at default high performance settings. I don't lose much between vista/xp I ran out of slider bar for ram I need a bios that allows more

Vista 64 + 4870x2 is your issue. I've seen this before, you will score alot higher in vista 32 and XP.

believe it or not if i set mitmap detail to high performance my score actually gets worse.

I got an ati tool version working and the Lod bias settings dont work, cant find where to set it in rivatuner and ati tray tools i'm lost.

Yea I don't benchmark much for competition, as I just want to make sure my system is running as it should be. I would like to take some time and chill my water loop, then overvolt like crazy......but sadly I don't have as much time since I started school again.

BTW ATI Tool doesn't play well with the 4870X2....I would look around the driver level tweaks in Rivatuner.

8.12 seems not to like my card much, hard locks running Vantage and 3DMark05 when 8.11 did not at same settings....
3D06 is down a few hundred points compared to 8.11 run.
Guess its time to tear the loop apart and run the new card on ....air (ick)
Well maybe one more run on 8.11 to confirm my suspicions

I haven't had any issues with 8.12 in Vista x64 one bit. There is an annoying water artifact bug in Call of DUty World at War, where the border of puddles looks like it has frozen. This sort of flickers on and off at times. Not extremely noticeable, but still annoying.
