Computer Underperforming, Need Advice

[StevenG]

i have an HIS X1900XT which scored over 6000 3dmarks in "06" in my old amd x2 system. Ive put the same card in my new conroe rig with the same psu, hdd's and dvd-rw, and im now scoring 4800 3dmarks in "06" do you have any ideas why i might be getting such a low score?

Thanks for looking,

Have you made sure to install all the motherboard drivers? Also I'm not sure if this setting exists anymore but if your motherboard has the option for 'fastwrites' then it is possible if you set it to the opposite of what it is now you might improve performance. I'd also check the aperture size as well if that still exists in the bios. Are you using the same drivers as in the old system? It might be as well to change them just in case they are at fault if none of the other suggestions help.

I'm using the latest drivers on a fresh install of windows. and have no idea why my card is under-performing.
