Oh well...since no-one else has posted yet ...here we go...

Ist run on standard settings....

Judging about what ive read (ive forgotten my score from the bench i ran earlier :() i would say thats a good score indeed

Default settings
Aquamark 3: 16,431

I am going to reboot later and see if dropping one of the monitors makes a difference.

[bblqj78]

I think that default setting on this download is 'High Detail' only. And by the looks of it...like the 3D Mark's...you cant change the setting unless you part with some 'hard earned stuff'.

Not to worry.

Time for upgrade ? :confused: :rolleyes: :p

[chubtub]

If it works do not touch it, upgrades are over rated. Can anyone say sour grapes.:(

[ComPooTer]

i dont think upgrades arent over rated, i just upgraded from a 700 mhz compaq like 5 months ago and i see a huge difference!

[fishybawb]

Hmm... wouldn't mind trying this one, but 63MB is frickin' huge for us lowly 56Kers :( Now, which nice soul is going to send it to me on a CDR? ;) :D

[scoob19]

43,657

Does this bench rely more on the gfx card or is it a pretty good bench of overall system performance?

[Bigjakkstaffa]

Given that it supports DX7/8 and 9 feature sets it loosk to be a much more representative benchmark than 3dmark2003 which heavily punishes users without DX9 hardware support

Fisrt of all...you run at 1280x1024.......the staddard benchmark is 1024x768....Ansio: 4x....Deatils: V High.
Running at what you did will give a lower score!

Second...its a DX9 test...your Ti4600 will not perform the DX9 effects which will probably give a lower score also...similar to 3dmark2003.

:cool:

[CrazyCrusher]

well I know about DX9 I kinda forgot about that when I posted just seems some of the scores are Pretty High High, and yez I new about the default settings, but ill change em tonight see what I get. its a nice benchy I have to say, looks pretty nice, runs Nicely, yep I think its time for me to Jump to a DX9 game and trade my TI4600 for something :)

Not overclocked at all, but can barely break 40,000. Guess I should look into overclocking. Never done it before, and really concerned about my hardware. Its all been running for about a month now with no problems, not sure if I want to kill the warrenties yet.

[Strawbs]

I decided to try a little O\C'ing ...my best is now 38,024 (http://arc.aquamark3.com/arc/arc_view.php?runID=1345787566). quite the leap! :D

Nice score scoob!

[sopel]

how do you guys get such a high scores

i just builded a custom comp for my friend

p4 2.8 800fsb
p4800 asus mobo
2x512 ddr 3200 run in dual
redeon 9800 pro 128mb

and when we tested we got only 18,044 pts

why is that?

[scoob19]

honestly im not sure...even not overclocked you should be getting much much higher scores than that. What settings are you using for your benches? (resolution, AA, AF, etc..) using higher than 1024x768 will reduce your scores.

[Strawbs]

why is that? I found that if you set directx too low or high you can lose a few hundred points ...but your's is much more than just settings alone! you should be getting at least the 40,000 mark with that system. you might try updating and tweaking the BIOS and it's settings and re-installing DX9 and Catalyst drivers (you do have DX9 installed I assume?).

Set to the minimum (performance) settings for the test, run higher for better visuals in games. Direct 3D is whats used in Aquamark, so thats the only one you need to change.

Pretty sure thats your problem.

[scoob19]

I dunno, just changing the D3D settings isnt going to make a 20,000+ point difference.

[Magua]

I score 1894 3dMark2003 with full quality, with full performance settings I go up to 5537 or so. I always run my computer full quality.

Post back how much you get with full performance, it may not be your only problem, but deffinately the majority (assuming you havent done it already)

ok

i did what you told me to do and i still get the same score on it (18,000)

than i tried 3dmark2003 and it increased maybe by a 100 to 5100

any other ideas?

Edited: Radeon 9700Pro's stock clocks were 325/310Mhz. What's up with yours? Is it a 9500Pro/9700np flashed with an O/C Bios?
The low clocks are probably another reason your score is off a little.

[Andiesean]

Ben, My card is a Radeon 9700 Pro, and those clock rates are the default rates.

[Strawbs]

Yeah, your card is definetly underclocked!! What is the makers name?

[Andiesean]

The card is made by PowerColor. I tried setting it to 325/310, but starts acting funny there.

[Bigjakkstaffa]

Didnt Powercolour have a dodgy marketing system of badging 9700np's as 'Pros' ?

--Jakk:t

[ComPooTer]

try a little under 325/310 and maybe itll work good

[benknobi]

Originally posted by Andiesean

It seems like Powercolor is playing it fast and loose with the 9700Pro Card specs as 325/310 is supposed to be the default clocks of a 9700Pro.
Your core speed of 300 is not too bad(Although still below spec), but that memory speed is even below the stock clock of my 9500Pro which is 270Mhz.

Does the memory have heat sinks on it?, or can you see what Make and speed it is rated at? Can't believe that it won't run faster than it is set at now.

Try bumping the speed up 2-3Mhz at a time and running some benchmarks or games until you start to get screen corruption and then back it off a few Mhz and you'll have found the best speed to run it at. It may not run stably at 325/310, but it may run faster than it is now. Work up to it slowly and see.

Glad you posted. Now I know Powercolor is shaky when it comes to Model specs and I won't send my customers their way for a video card.

[Strawbs]

The card is made by PowerColorI don't have any personal experience with Powercolor, but I remember reading another post in the past couple of days here at Sysopt where someone said the same thing as Jakk. They're misleading folk with card labeling. :mad:

Download Aida32 (http://www.aida32.hu/aida-download.php?bit=32), It will tell you exactly what card you have, from there you can make a realistic assesment of the score you should be getting and how much you should have paid for the card in the first place.

:t

[Andiesean]

I have AIDA 32 on my system, and it says I have a Radeon 9700 Pro. Bottom line, I have an ATI 9700Pro "built by PowerColor, powered by ATI." You learn from your mistakes, and I'm still learning, and I will buy "Built and Powered by ATI" from now on.

Hey compooter, have your oc'ed your vid card yet? I wanna see what stable and non artifact speeds you got too. Then you can see mine.

[ComPooTer]

im not ocing until i get my iceberg for my vid card, ill be purchasing a iceberg sometime after my paycheck (this friday)

and i was wondering.........should i use epoxy on my ramsinks?

[Ammok]

You need to be careful, although you can get thermal epoxy, too much of it will just act like a blanket, can you get spring clips instead?

[fizur2002]

naw man, just use the stuff that comes with the ram sinks, you should be plenty fine with that.

[ComPooTer]

it feels like the thermal tape w/ the ramsinks dont do much........ like it doesnt add any more headroom for overclocking or anything

[fizur2002]

Not really, it just helps pull away excess heat, even with my heavy duty kick *** cooler i have on my vid card, i still cant get it that fast.
