hello---
i recently purchased a 512mb PNY 8800GTS (g92) graphics card and installed it into my compaq sr2050nx. Here are some specs:
Pentium D 320 2.8ghz (2 cores)
2 GB RAM 800 mhz
250 GB Hard Drive (7200rpm)
500w Antec Basiq PSU
So anyway i put in the card and loaded up 3dmark 06. I was hoping to see a giant increase over my old x1950GT, however I only scored about 5500 3dmarks (no AA/AF)! This is very low, concerning all the very high benchmarks i have seen for this card. I was extremely dissapointed, as i was hoping to blow away all my games... btw yes I updated my graphics driver to latest beta version...
One possible reason is the cpu bottlenecking the card... but i dont think it should by this much!
I also updated my BIOS, however could not find a chipset download for this comp.
By searching google and other forums, i see others have the same prob, but their solutions don't work for me!
Any ideas?
Thanks guys for your help!!!!!!!!!!
