    Is it normal to get such a big increase? Normally how does this relate to FPS?

    Ok, I installed 9.9 and got an increase from 11134 to 11398. Then I up'd the FSB for a total of 2.6ghz from 2.4. Then my score was 12120. Is this normal?

    I know that if a game relies on cpu then I may see a small increase, probably very little.

    I noticed when I try to install rivatuner it always fails. Says I need to have a signed driver or something... So I can't test an OC of GPU to see what I can get. The above cpu oc is not a limit. Merely a starting point to see how the cpu does in terms of stability and with games.

    Best wishes,

    StevenX

    Yes, 06 is influenced more by the CPU than GPU. Try Vantage which is more evenly balanced assuming you have a non-ppu system.
