I did another test the other night and was a little disappointed...only with this test as I think it is a pretty bad rep. of a true test....

I only got about a 5442 score and I have a high end system....

P4 2.8 @800FSB
Corsair XMS Platinum Pc 3200 w/512 in dual channel mode
Fx 5900 graphics card

It seems the people with the 9800 Pro graphics card have much higher scores overall......this is apparent.

My card is a good card and I like it alot...but there must be other parameters that my system is lacking somehow...
I have alot..and maybe too much stuff loaded into my system right now and this may slow some things down a bit..it remains to be seen

If I remember right..I did this same test about four months ago and I got a 6200+ score....

Run a aquamark 3 test ya'll be much happier with your results. As that program seems to like nvidia cards.

3d mark03: 5595 3dMarks
3d mark2001: 16905 3dmarks
AquaMark3: 39593

with the setup:

Mobile XP 2600 @ 12 X 200 1.68v
GA-7N400 Pro2 rev 2
PR3ACH3R GA-7N400 Pro2R2 FB
WhisperRock IV
Arctic Silver V Thermal Compound
Sapphire 9800 Prow/ VGA Silencer
Antec P-160 Aluminum Case W/ 2 120mm Fans
Antec True Blue 480W PSU
512 Corsair XMS LL
WD 36.7 Raptor

and NAV and background programs running still


Still wanna to overclock some and maybe speed up the 9800

not bad

[cwin]

everyone has Radeon 9800's and FX5900's


(im only envious if they have a Radeon tho UP WIV ATI!!)

My 3DMark03 Score is ok at 5749 but my 3DMark2001 Score is 12500...Why is the 2001 score so low???????????

2001 is a full system test more than '03,

Its probably indicating a system bottleneck other than the gfx card. 3dmark03 has been proven to be more affected by the gfx card rather than the system

[AdamST]

Yeah thats what i figured.

[Rabbitrunner51]

I am still very suspect about this benchmark...and for some reason..I do not like it all that much....specifics are not spelled out all that well...

What are your thoughts (all) about Aquamark 3 ,which seems like a much nicer benchmark tool....with much more data offered to give one a better analysis

There are also other benchmark tools such as SIS Sandra ,Aida32 and others .even though they are more total system bencmark tools...which I believe a persons system setup really affects the overall scores....
When I get my new HD and re-load my system..my scores will probably go up accordingly...quite a bit.

[AdamST]

I tried 3DMark04..now thats a bad benchmark.

I don't know much about 3DMark2001, i havnt been using it very long.

You meant PCMark04?

There is no 3DMark04.

[AdamST]

yes haha

[dalleman]

My 3Dmark03 results:
5570

Specs:
P4 3.2
512 HypherX 4000 RAM
1 WD Raptor 74GB 10K RPM SATA HD
1 WD 120GB 7200 RPM 8MB Buffer ATA 100/133 (As secondary)
ATI 9800 PRO 128MB RAM

dalleman....with a fantastic system like that ..i would think your marks would be a bit higher....but i wouldn't fret over it...I have roughly the same scores in that area..and I have a slower drive , a bit smaller processor (2.8 ) and use PC 3200 XMS memeory....
I would think that your scores should be over 6000.....
Like I said....alot of overall system things seem to affect ones scores....who knows...
as long as everything plays and looks great..thats the main thing....
Being a scientific minded person,test data use variables of differing nature..depending upon the environment and how things react to it...I just take into account that some people or person made this program and I don't know anything abou their credentials in this area and what they used for test data overall.

[AdamST]

Like everyone says, 3Dmark03 is more of a video card benchmark then a whole system benchmark.

I just got a VGA Silencer and with my 9800Pro set at 445/370 i get a 3DMark03 score of 6100.



Yet my system as a whole is not great.

P4. 2.4A @ 2600Mhz (433FSB)
Aopen AX45-V motherboard (4x AGP)
ATI Radeon 9800Pro 128MB
256MB PC2100 Ram
Maxtor 80GB HDD

@Rabbitrunner51: it only makes a differnece when you have more than PC3200 if you overclock. If you dont overclock, it is always the fastetst if you have the memory in sync in dual channel systems. It was different w/ the old P4 single-channel systems, because when the memory was in sync w/ a P4 in single channel, the memory had only have of the transfer rate of the FSB, because the memory is DDR, but the bus is QDR. When you have dual channel, the memory has the same transfer rate as the FSB when they are in sync. This is the reason why sync is the fastest.

The only advantage of emmory faster than PC3200 when you dont oc is, that it will maybe run at lower timings @PC3200.

Adam, thats still a good score with your system. I score 5600 stock and 64 to 6500 oc'd with my system:
AMD 3200 XP w/ Vantec Aeroflow
1 Gig Corsair XMS 3200C2PT
ATI 9800 Pro 128 w/ Arctic Cooler Silencer
K7N2 Delta ILSR
rest o' d junk
