Eeek, that's odd. However, the score (3dmarks) is perfectly normal. You've got nothing to worry about.

Did you remove all your previous drivers, run Driver Cleaner, and then reinstall the drivers for the new card? Remnants of the old driver could cause the program to screw up.

As blue mentioned, the score is about normal, so I wouldn't worry too much about it, but uninstalling the old drivers, cleaning, and reinstalling "might" clear up the problem. Just a thought..............

will try again

Thanks for advice. Did uninstall old ati drivers and ran a driver cleaner before installing nvidia drivers. And i really dont have any complaints about performance from the card. That 9 mhz core clock threw me. Ill run the test again after i do a little tweaking, and try uninstalling and running with different driver cleaner.
