yeah ive used 06 before.ive read benchmarks of the 8800 gtx and mine is nowhere near them.for it to go down to 0fps on some of the tests doesnt seem right for such a new card.
ive got the full version of 06.if anyone else has an 8800 gtx ill gladly pass it on for them to test there's on.

just found this comment on you tube.
''I got a Core 2 Duo E6300, and a 7800GTX, and 2 gigs of ram, and I get about 5000 in 3dmark06, how is that compered to your old system?''
i got 3000.i should be getting over 5000,i have a better cpu and gfx card.

3D mark '06
bah!
what matters in the 'real' world
does your games run better, if so
the'0' fps is normal on 'most' pc's and if it makes you feel any better, i didnt get much myself when i ran it (pre oc)
