Maybe that cpu is holding your card back.

i mean i know that my cpu is showing its age now , but overclocked at 2.4 i thought it should make a difference ,i updated all my driver(chipset,soundcards,graphics card) and im still geting the same noob score as people with a geforce 7900gt,gaming is good , oblivion is running fine and so is fear maybe i should just forget about benching . fear i run its own bench on 1280x960 4 aa 16 af everything maxed out and i scored a minimum fps of 35 , 66 average and 170 maximum.i really would like to hear from people that own the same card as i do, thanks guys

make sure that you haven't disabled ANY of the ati startup files, i mean you can disable the hot keys and systray through CCC, but don't actually remove them from the startup in msconfig/regedit/startmenu~>startup

if you did, the x1900 remains forever @ 2D clockrates which reflect similare results you received (5000ish marks or lower)
