i got an overclocked BFG 8800GTX card which is supposed to be rated at: 650MHz and 2000MHz

but when i run rivatuner i only get speeds at 575 and 900???

i also get scores below 1000 in 3dmark06

I ran BFG tech support and the guy there said that both programs havent been updated to give accurate reading for this card but suggested another 3rd party program that i could use and give to me..... except he couldnt find it!!!

does anyone know the program he was talking about?

how do i check if this card is really overclocked???

Quad core

Abit IN9-Max

Corsair 8500 2GB

OCZ 850W

Have you checked the nVidia drivers?

Made sure its in 3D mode, not 2D mode when taking the readings?
