My Question/Problem is... why have i lost 5000 points on 3D Mark 06?

On the old specs i reached 21,000+ this new spec gives me only 16,000.

Please help ! Thanks

Did you do a complete fresh install or did you use something to clone the disk?

ive done a clean install of vista. and tried a clean install of win 7, still same result 6000 points lower and 3d mark even says my system score is low based on simular systems. somethings not right surly

Dodgy card?....anyway of testing it in another rig?....you tried putting it through MSI Kombuster to see what fps it is performing then switching back to your 4870x2 to compare.....bit of a hassle with drivers but it would show the power difference?

i am right in saying this card should perform better than a 4870x2 ? please correct me if im wrong. and testing in another rig shortly
