Question GeForce 6800 preformance issues

hey all, about a month ago i got a evga geforce 6800 off newegg and it worked fine until one day it gave me really crappy preformance in all the games i play and 3d mark 05. i was getting ~2500 in 3d mark now i only get ~1000. i cant figure it out ive reformated my computer, rolled back drivers, updated drivers, updated BIOS, and checked the voltage. all seem to be fine, but its giving me crapy preformance. any ideas? and im running dual monitors...that doesnt have any affect on preformance does it?

AMD Athlon 64 3000+@ 1.8 =)
1024mb G.SKILL DDR 400
120 gb WD & 30 gb Maxtor
Chaintech S1689
Thermaltake Silent PurePower420W

thanks all

The same thing happened to me with my 6600.. and i don't know why either.

Only question i have is - did it work well with 2 monitors before? If performance went down when you added a second monitor, that's probably why.

Did you check the clock speeds? If it's not the dual monitors, then make sure it didn't somehow underclock itself. If none of this fixes it, your card might have gone bad.

thanks for the responses

i just tried removing my second monitor and no preformance change =(
and the clock speeds are where they should be...except i looked at the details in 3d mak and it gave me this...


vga core clock 10.5?? wtf. except powerstrip and rivatuner both indicate 325/700.

and also in powerstrip...another odd thing

software enabled...??no agp aperture and no set transfer rate or other options...i dont get it

thanks again all

Make sure you installed the correct chipset drivers for your motherboard.

Unistall your chipset drivers and your video card drivers. Uninstall powerstrip. Install your newest chipset drivers and then video card drivers. Reboot as propted.

And try clocking everything to the normal speeds and see if there is any changes...

Vanilla 6800's have been dropping dead left and right. My first one (from BFG) started messing up, corrupting the image and getting piss poor frame rates. The one they replaced gives me a little trouble somtimes, creating artifacts on my secondary minitor.
So, RMA the thing. eVGA is good bout that stuff.
