How to check out graphic card clocks

[bushmins]

Just got a new 8800GT (Xpert Vision)
Im only getting about 7200 on 3dmark06.
My spec is E6300
2gb Geil 6400
8800GT
GA-965P-DS3

Is there anything quick i can do to check the graphic card clocks?
Does the score seem low?

Im using 169.21 drivers.
Ill do a complete reinstall of xp as i have a new harddrive too. So ill see what i get after that.

Try GPU-Z to show default and current clocks. Also check that its running in PCI-16x. Its a big blow to 8800's if it runs in 8x or lower

How can i check the PCI-16x thing?

 

[bushmins]

Says the BUS interface is PCI-E 2.0x16@x16, so i guess its running at 16x.

Im wondering if the video drivers are any good.
Say all this CoD4 is now running at about 70fps on the very starter bit rather than 29 on my 7900gs

This are my specs of the card something looks wrong

GPU 600mhz
Memory 900mhz
Shader 1500mhz

Shouldnt the memory be a lot more than that? The memory clock in Rivatuner only goes up to 1350.

Well if his is a GTX then i would expect my GT to be a lot lower?

I cant seem to find any info on compairing my 3dmark2006 scores with same systems as mine. Is there any way to do this?

Im sat here ready to download nvidia driver update. Can someone tell me which is the best to install?

I had heard the latest are a bit poop for AA and AF.

Sorry for the tripple post but...

So i reinstalled xp on my new harddrive (Pritty much the same as my old one)
Updated everything, installed my virus checker and zonealarm.

Now im getting 8495!

The mind boggles.
