Scored B4 and after Det 4

[darrelld]

Post your before and afters.
I went from 3144 to 3189, kinda thought it would be more. That tells me I already had my card doing all it could do. Q3 went up 5FPS and 3D Mark 2000 Increased slightly also.

I did, however notice a visual improvement.

At least it increased something! In my case, the scores actually decreased!
I went (3dmark2001) from 2348 with Det12.90 to 2205 with Det4!

In quake3..... same story!

I went from 4714 to 4845. I still want more :). Next I'll try Win2K since that is what they are optimized for.

3dmark 2001 is acting a little quirky
but
my q3 scores have improved aprox 11fps

Det 21.8: 3DMARK2K1- 10/7/32: 4900


From reading the interview on how the drivers work, the improvements are made to work with Windows XP and the GF3, most all of the improvement is from memory optimization.

With anything other than a GF3/XP you WILL NOT see any big improvement.

Good grief AMDFreak, 7472!!! I bow to Majesty. I was feelin pretty good about 6700. I hang my head in shame:( When I OC'd my GF3 my scores took a hit.

[AMDfreak71]

Well than you very much been doing a little tweaking the past few days and things turned out realy good this time.Started with clean install the tweaked windows the way I like it to run.then went to tweaking my Elsa 920 to the max. And yes i am Braging as I think i can do that now.

That is copyed and pasted right off the web site just to show everyone that it is the score i got.

My 2000 scores are 12578 not to bad ether but now i would like to see 10000 on 2001.Maybe when i upgrade to a faster cpu but not anytime soon the wife would freak.
I have been doins some more tweaking got it up to 7521 now
