right, so why am i still getting low benchmarks on a X850XT?

You can overclock most 6600 GT's like crazy though, and get a better core, and memory speed.

in Nividia cards, what is the card thats as good as the X850XT? is it the 6800 something or other?

the nvidia 6800 ultra is meant to be the equivelant to an x850xt but looking on benchmarks the x850xt jus beats it, the 6800 ultra is designed more for games that need more pixel shading

Beats me...try remarking it again. Maybe some thing happened that you didn't know about.

right, ive been lookin around on other 3dMark03 results and found ppl with the same hardware as me are overclocking their CPU's and G'Cards, ive no idea how to do this so if sum1 cud talk me through it that would be great. i have a sapphire redline overclocking utility, but i dont wanna mess around with it yet and see my pc go up in smoke lol.
