Lower than expected 3d marks 06 score help me point out why?

getting 12k

Specs:

AMD Phenom X 4 9950 2.6 ghz stock (score is fine here)

4 gigs sli ready ocz pc 6400 800 mhz ram

Asus 9800 gtx+ dark knight edition (gpu is scoring low)

Hec 650 watt power supply sli ready

Asus M3N72-D 750a ( is the mobo the problem)

Drivers? As in chipset drivers for your motherboard?

180.84 forceware latest and 0502 latest mobo drivers

win xp 32 os

thx for the reply!!

maybe gpu is not getting enough power... i am about 3000 points short of my goal on 3d marks and that is only dependent on gpu score

umm this is the exact power supply i have http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817339024

I get 10K on my rig. Windows XP Pro, AMD 3800X2 @ 2.6GHz, 2GB RAM, and a 9800GTX non-overclocked. So I think those are about right since your OC and have a better cpu + more RAM.nVidiaGaMer

Its ur cpu. Amds score very low.Gamerkat

the cpu is scoring as expected i looked into the test history of the amd phenom X 4 and they are getting substantially higher scores in the 15.7k to 16k with this card.

the gpu is not scoring well enough... is there a power problem?
