    hello all.
    im trying to run 3dmark05 on my gl30, but during the tests it gives me 2-5 fps only... does it need any setting up to run properly??

    The only setup that should be necessary is making sure your graphics card's drivers are installed.

    Figure out the 3DMark final score. that will tell you more than the "average FPS", which I'm guessing is just you looking at the FPS on the screen.

    Sounds about right for your system. Tweaking the system and overclocking may get you a few more points, but as long as your 3D performance is good enough for you there's really no need to do so.
