That looks about right to me. Did you look at the ORB and see how your system comparecd to other people with the same CPU/GPU?

For reference, I got 5724 with a 9800 pro and 2.93ghz dual xeons.

Edit: Actually, I'm looking through the ORB now and your score seems high for what you have.

For 3DMark03, thats a damned good score dude.

Thanks for the feed back. Just the way some of the scenes look I thought I could see each frame as it went by. O.K. I feel better now.

3dmark 2003 is my favorite game. You guys are playing it at ChiLAN, aren't you?
