    What OS are you running?

    How many active processes are there when you are running 3d mark?

    Have you scanned for adware/spyware/virii?

    os is listed (xp home sp2)
    no proceses other then active sync (pocket pc and unable to exit with out ctrl alt delete it)

    avg 6.0 scans daily

    the only thing that has changed is the amount of space on my hdd (i've filled 20gb sence then) but i dont think that should affect it

    oops, didn't see the OS

    AVG scans daily, but is AVG updated?

    What about adware/spyware? AVG won't detect that. I suggest running an updated version of Adaware SE and Spybot 1.3 in safe mode and seeing if they come up with anything.

    What was wrong with the video card drivers that you mentioned before?

    Have you tried completely removing the video card drivers and installing the latest cataylst drivers?

    *Edit*

    Did you have SP2 installed at first? Just saw that, SP2 has been known for slowing everything down...

    i use ad aware and avg is updated before it scans

    the first benchmark was before sp2. the new drivers were unstable and crunched textures and modles. i have completely re installed the card drivers with no avail... is it sp2? should i just format and bring my sys back up?
