How fast is your processor?

Well that could be it. When I oc my card from 250/513 (msi defaults) to 300/600 I get much more than 200 pts. And my high is 10300.

I've found the same as Asher, overclocking my Golden Sample only gave me a 350 point bonus. I'm getting just under 12k with out o/c 12.2K at the edge of the safety limit.

Asher, if you want to try new equipment and get stuff cheap, like we, I recomment writing for a PC magazine, you seem to be a good enough writer....

I got my stuff for dirt cheap back when I worked for a high end computer shop in the summer.

I don't think many PC Magazines are interested in a 19 year old kid's writing, especially when they've never taken a journalism course in their life.
