Well, I found out why it was scoring poorly. It was the progress bar animation, of all things! I tried running Geekbench minimized and got a score of 1095! So I'm guessing that before, when it was running Core Image in software mode on the GF4, the animation must've been disabled? I really...

It's actually been consistent. I ran the test 3 times and it scored 954-957 with the 7800GS. Pop the GF4 MX back in, and it's back up to ~1070. Is there a program like CPU-Z for PPC Macs? I'd like to keep an eye on the CPU frequency during the benchmark run. I'm thinking that maybe it's...

Yes, and all of the tests are scoring lower--it's not just limited to a certain category. The multi-threaded tests are taking the biggest hit. With the GF4 MX, Core Image was enabled in software mode, so there should have been more CPU overhead with the old video card. 

Hey guys, I've got a bit of a head scratcher here. I recently installed an EVGA 7800GS video card in my G4 MDD. It's a dual 1.25GHz running Leopard. The installation went remarkably smoothly, from the BIOS flash to the AGP tape mod. I didn't even have to install any drivers or software, it...
