Upgraded yeterday to a Saphire 9700pro....a few tweaks and away we go.
So why come I am only getting a stingy 14646 in 3DMark2001..?
I was really wanting to see that scoring up near 16000. Anything I can do to get this score up a bit..?
System:
2.4GHz P4 @ 2.538Ghz
1024MB DDR333 RAM @ 352Mhz
Radeon 9700 Pro running Latest Catalyst 3.4 (Core 364, Mem 344)
Creative Labs Audigy
80GB WD HD @ 7200RPM
Asus 4B533-V Mobo
Windows XP Home running DirectX 9.0
Yeah get the CPU clock speed cranked up a bit more and aim for as high an FSB as possible. THe problem faced with the overclockign in your case is that the CPU is a P4, thus you have no leeway to play about with the multiplier
Ah, haven't posted in quite a while. Anyway to the scores!!!
1265!!!
XP 2000+@1.73Ghz (fsb oc'ed to 176)
OEM Radeon 8500 (250!/275) (don't get OEM Radeons!!!)
512mb OC' Systems DDR333 @ 266
80gb Western Digital Hdd with 8mb cache
Gigabyte Ga7vrx rev 1.1
Score is pretty good, I think for an old Radeon 8500.
Seeing my computer come to a crawl at 3-5FPS on the troll demos was depressing but don't particularly care as the actual games I run are fine which is what matters. Anyway scores as follows:-
1596 3D Marks. I was suprised as hell.....My friend has a p4 2.4 w/512 of some kind of rambus, and a ti4600. He got a 1460. Dang. And my card cost 100 less. Everything on the Video card maxed.
Amd Athlon 2100+ xp
ATI Radeon 9000 pro 128 OC'd a little
512 mb PC3200 ddr ram
Soyo KT-400 Dragon Ultra
