Good marks?? Honest opinion!!

[Dragunov]

hello

I have some marks in 3D mark 03, 01 and aquamark, with the system you see below:

3D Mark 03: 6031Marks
3D mark 01: 13195Marks (update)
Aquamark3: 35166

I just deinstalled my Nvidia-board and the drivers and installed my 9800XT from hercules and installed the 3.9 from ATI

THanks

First, this should be in the benchmarking forum.

Second, have you compared your scores to other users at FM's site?

The '01 score seems a bit low to me, the '03 score looks good though.

The 3dmark2k3 score looks fine. The 3dmark2k1 score seems a little low, but that may be your bus speed. 3dmark2k1 is heavily affected by bus speed, and yours is only 100mhz (4 x 100 = 400fsb). It's nothing to worry about though if your games and everything else runs fine. But if you wanna boost your score simply disable AA/AF and VSYNC, and overclock the FSB long enough to benchmark :D

thx

but it is an Intel mainboard, unable to overclock :(

well, then just disable AA/AF/VSYNC like I mentioned, otherwise you're stuck... sorry

if you want though, you could try software overclocking, but there is no gurantee it will work for you

in the games I play I set everything on application, and I play UT2k3 and MaX payne 2 on the highest settings at 1024x768 32, I think I get very VERY VERY VERY little slowdowns in the games

Aquamark 3 update: 35644

I'm only 7fps slower than those with a 2.6 Ghz HT and/or more memory, just compared my system to those of them, it is most my CPU, in Aquamark 3

Your AuqaMark score is way to low mine.

You might want to try omega drivers also.
