If you have CPU-Z , look at the Motherboard tab, and make sure the Mainboard tab, Graphic interface, Link width is x16.

I took a look at that and it seems to be ok.

M2N78-LA has the Nvidia 780a chipset on it, and unless HP has crippled the board as much as they like to cripple their bios' this should do for the chipset drivers,

NVIDIA DRIVERS 15.56WHQL

For Paul actually that board is AM2 or possibly AM2+, not AM3. AM3 boards also only use DDR3, and that board is DDR2. In this case if he was to look at a new board he would also need a new CPU as AM2/AM2+/DDR2 boards (and AM2/AM2+ CPU's are DDR2 only) are getting harder and harder to find, as well as new ram (his current DDR2 would be any good).

Fair enought Stormy, Like I say, I am not an AMD guy so I had to edit my post seeing as I don't know a lot about them. I did a quick search for his current board and for some reason it listed it as AM3 on the site I visited, it must have been a bad site.

I still feel its his motherboard drivers that are holding his card back though and not the graphics drivers. But I hope your link remedies that.

Edit, sorry its getting late, I didnt check your link properly.


Paul.

I got the chipset drivers installed ok but it still didn't fix the problem. I guess I really have no other option than to get a new mobo,processor and some ddr3 memory then. This project is getting a bit more expensive that I originally thought

If you get any other ideas I'm happy to try those as well. You both have already been a major help with this.

What do you suppose my scores would be with the following combination:

processor: Intel Ivy Bridge i5-3570K, LGA1155, 3,4Ghz, 6MB, Boxed
memory: Kingston HyperX 2x4GB, DDR3 1600MHz, CL9
motherboard: Asus P8Z77-V LK, LGA1155, Intel Z77, DDR3, SLI/CrossFir
GPU: nVidia GTX 460

I got an offer from a local computer store and wanted to ask your opinion. :)

There is something wrong with your RAM score since you are using a DDR3 Ram which should score at 7.2 to 7.9. Even my celeron 877 Sandy Bridge 11.6" netbook with DDR3 Ram scores 7.2
