How do i ensure optimal performance?

Hi

I have recently bought this computer. I have newst drivers and direct X - and Win 7 is upgraded.

How do i make sure that i press every drop out of this spec? is there a test program, a tool or something to compare a score or something like that. I'm afraid I have used a lot of money on this pc, and maybe only get 80% performance :)

Thanks

Intel Core i7 Quad Processor i7-950

MSI GeForce GTX 460 1GB PhysX CUDA "Cyclone OC"

I get a 3 dmark score around 3600- 3800 in the not regged version of the program.

What should I expect? I see many test of the card saying about 12-13.000 ?

Some of the newer nvidia drivers were crap so you may want to test a couple to get the best performance. Which ones are you running right now?

atm these: 266.35_desktop_win7_winvista_64bit_english_beta

have also tried devdriver_3.2_winvista-win7_64_263.06_general

Here is a pic of mine :)

Could you make some advice about best driver for my GPU?
