    Thumbs down Whats wrong? 6970

    Old Specs
    CPU: Q9550 2.83Ghz
    GFX: 4870X2
    Ram: 4GB
    HDD: 7200

    New Specs
    CPU: Q9550 2.83Ghz
    GFX: ATI 6970
    Ram: 8GB
    HDD: SSD

    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?

    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?
