    I have a stock p-6831fx that I clean installed with Vista x86. I am using 174.60 drivers and I am only getting 6200 3dmarks at 1280x800.

    I have used several other drivers, including the stock drivers, windows update drivers, and 169.09 drivers. At most I'm getting 6500 3d marks. However, most people here are reporting scores in the high 6000's.

    I haven't touched Nvidia control panel and there is no AA enabled. I am on performance mode in vista.

    Also, there is no comparable system when I upload my results. I'm thinking I may be missing a critical driver that is limiting the performance of my card.

    Thanks for your help!

    I use the 171.16 drivers right now and they seem pretty stable.My 3d Mark score is a 7681 with these drivers.This is with OC being done to my system and/or GPU.But if your games and any other graphic driven programs run as they are supposed to I would not put too much stock in the 3d Mark score.I was wondering also if you were using Vista SP1 as some users on the forum and other places have reported performance issues and other various problems after updating to SP1.

    Flamarc, you seem to have forgotten you have a T8300 :)

    It seems like your score should be in the 8,000s with that beast of a CPU.
    Have you tried the 174.31 drivers? They work great for me.
