POST YOUR 3DMARK2001 SCORES!!!!

[ComPooTer]

Mj_pimp your scores is primarily from your 3.0 processor, try 3dmark03 and lets see your score

[Mj_Pimp]

3957 in 3dmark 03 and my cpu is actually OC'ed from 2.4

512MB DDR400 Kingston HyperX holds out with the slightly raised FSB

Upgraded to a 9600 Pro 256MB, OC'ed it @ 700mhz and got 18,536

This doesnt sound like you oced your CPU. You should have written something like

P4 2.4C @ 3.0GHz

I am surprised, that DDR400 mempory can run @ 250MHz. This is a 50MHz overclock. What are your timings @ 250MHz? something like 3-5-5-10?

[Bigjakkstaffa]

The FSB is probably running Asynchronous to the FSB (ie less than 250Mhz), this gives a performance decrese for AMD's, but P4's being the bandwith hungry monsters that they are, works to their benefit runnign the FSB as high as possible

It does not sound like DDR400, it sounds to me like its of a higher stock timing, say perhaps PC4000, that sounds about right to me, seeing how it is stock 250 or at its double data rate of 500.

that exacly, the kingston is overclocker memory and is worth every penny It was either that, or go get me some DDR500, or......even just splash out on a 3gig chip in the first place.
but seems to be working oki.

I would have to say though, bar benchmarks the performance increase is barly noticable.

Its not DDR500 Lol, its 400

Well that made me feel better about my 03 scores, i thought that they were lacking.

[mobo57]

I am suprised at those scores. Awful low.

My rig
3200XP
1 gig corsair ddr400
ATI 9800 Pro
Win 2k Pro
all d rest o' d stuff

3d mark 03 score at stock settings is 5573.
3d mark 01 < 17,900

Got to work on your set up???

LOL? are u reffering 2 ur scores? or others?

Because, 5532 for that setup is very poor on a 9800 Pro

I know of someone with the EXACT same setup as that, scoing just over 8000

I seem 2 have scored higher than you in 3DM01 with my 9600 Pro.... *scratches chin*

[ComPooTer]

scoring over 8000, bull

i hope you know that in 3dmark01 you get huge score bonuses from processor speed, 3dmark03 is pure video card and IMO is the REAL benchmark.

3dmark01 is getting pretty dated and it isnt fairly accurate hence 3dmark03 was released which is like i said before pure video card and no massive bonuses from higher processor speeds

[fizur2002]

Yes compooter you are right, and that is where you will notice the difference if you overclock your vid card. By the way, what was your 03 score compooter?

[ComPooTer]

Asus a7n8x Deluxe Rev2.0
Barton 2500+ 200x11@3200
512 DDR400 Crucial (5-2-2-2.5)
Ati radeon 9800 PRO (stock)
120 GB maxtor 7200 RPM 8mb cache

1024x768 32 bit all performance
3dmark03: 5658

[fizur2002]

Hmmm, we have almost the same setup yet i scored almost 2k higher than you, but i am also oveclocking mine tho, so yeah, there is a definate boost in performance with my overclock.

No real game is only video card. All games get a big bonus from CPU speed.

[Bigjakkstaffa]

3dmark2003 doesnt, simply because it favours DX9 hardware so highly. Soem benchmarks were done a while back of a Radeon 9700 Pro on a 350Mhz P2 Vs a Gf4 ti and XP1700+ box, the R9700 Pro/P2 box scored marginally higher if memory serves. 3dmark2003 is a measure of gfx card only, though CPU does make a differenc it is a minor one, for a more rounded look at how both gfx card and CPU are performing 3dmark2001 is definitley the better of the two
