Problem with low benchies

Hi there, sorry to be the 10th million to post this, but what are common causes of getting too low benchmark scores? I have a 7950GX2 with E6600 dual core and I remember getting like 7800 points in 3dmark06. Now lately (about half year later) I felt my games were not performing like they should so I ran it again, now my score was 4800. I was running XtremeG's 94.20's. I've tried the 158.16 now and it scores only 5300...

What is the best way to approach this and what should I try next? I really can't think of any significant changes in software/hardware that could have caused this...

GutterPunk will become famous soon enough

When I bench I like to clear out all my startup items, and have done a defrag within a few hours, that always helps hah. but the latest drivers seemst o have helped you a lot.
