    rivatuner is made for nvidia cards, use rage3d or powerstrip. also radeon9100s are 128 bits. is yours agp? just overclock it and 3dmark away, if you have a good rig 10k is pretty easy

    Yeah, I think that rivatuner is only for nVidia cards, and what brand is that R9100?

    Rivatuner also supports ati's! I bought a sapphire 9100 from new egg and with a 2000+ with 512mb of ram, I score 6400 with 3dmark 01! That is REALLY low!!

    Actually for a 64bit R9100 that isn't THAT low

    I see in your sig you already have a ti4200. also I know of no 64 bit 9100s. I know why your score is low, you need to overclock your cpu and video card. also 9100s are slower than 8500s. 9100s are just a bit better than 9000s

    I have heard that there are 64bit video cards on the market now and I believe there is a 64bit 4200 out there some where also.(although I could be wrong), but I think someone posted about it a while back.

    Rivatuner has nothing to do and has no business messing with the ATI drivers. All it does is overclock the card...its my personal favorite.

    Im sure my card is 64 bit! Not only does rivatuner tell me, but there are only 2 memory chips on each side! YOu can see where the others go too! I have heard that sapphire made these kinds of 9100's, but in the new egg pic, there was 4 memory chips! Why wouldnt they say 64bit!?!?!!?!?! BTW, overclocking with the rage3d utility gives me 300 more points than riva tuner for some reason

    If you really have a 64 bit card, return it for the love of god and get a real card, say a radeon8500le and itll be so much faster!

    There is a difference between overclocking and tweaking. I assume you are using the 3DMark profile for benchmarking? Rivatuner doesn't do any tweaking on ATI cards. That's why I use Rivatuner to overclock and Rage3DTweak to tweak.

    Definitely sounds like you got a 64-bit card.

    How many days did they give you to return it, also I believe they will charge you a restocking fee and you will also have to pay to send it back. I would tell them about you thinking it was a 128 bit you was getting and got a 64bit instead and they might forgo the 15% restocking fee.
