POST YOUR 3DMARK 2003 SCORES HERE!!!!

Well MadPistol.......
Just go in the bios and raise the fsb and the voltages a bit, until it gets unstable. May want to use a 5/4 cpu:dram ratio if your ram is holding you back more than you like (the overclock gained will be worth it) For voltages, 1.7v vcore is what I used. 2.7v for my dram. (Vcore sorta high for extended use, but whatever)
If you dont have the options in your bios, look around for some dip switches on your mobo. If you have neither, your sorta out of luck, unless you want to buy a new mobo, or severly mod it.
BTW, overclocking my graphics card seems to help my 3dmark score a WHOLE LOT more than overclocking my cpu. (It was using only about 30% of the proc anyway) Powerstrip is a good multi-card clock rate changer, though I used RadLinker. Could tweak your ram timings also, though I havent noticed any difference on faster comps.

Over clocking my video card as much as I can without compromising any hardware damage isn't enough. the Ti 4200 can be over clocked to ti 4400 speeds without extra cooling being a necessity. the only thing is that on 3dMark03 it raises scores by only about 50-70 marks (since the geforce 4 ti's aren't capable of producing DX9 supported hardware acceleration) the 3dmark 2001 though is a different story all together. It raises my score by almost 1000 marks. That's my only truly reliable benchmark.

my system:

athlon xp 3000+ (400fsb)
1 gig ddr 3200 dual channel (2x512)
asus a7n8x-deluxe
geforce 4 ti-4600
sound blaster audigy x-gamer
120 gig maxtor @7200

not OC'ed in any way.

3dmark03 was 1867

Athlon 2800+
ASUS A7N8X deluxe

this is exactly why you don't get a dell. It has a freakin heat sink on the cpu of a 2.8 ghz p4. IT'S STONE AGE TECHNOLOGY! they need to modernize and put a fan on the cpu. if that happened, I would overclock it.

Nicely done Qvark.. i see the 9800 Pro mod worked for you then, :cool:

--Jakk:t

Easiest thing ever. The card clocks at 420/355, but i'm running it on the safe side. Have you tried to overclock yours Bigjakk - how high can you get it ??

Ive not pushed it that much as ive been trying to fathom out soem issues with FSB, at stock though i can get about 5700+

--Jakk:t

Still "fathoming" about the fsb, huh? How is it going so far??

172Mhz seems to be rock solid 100% stable no matter how hard i kick it. I can do about 180Mhz but im not 'rock' at it... gonna have to do that there vdd thing sometime :x

--Jakk:t

Dude. You and I went over that a long time ago ;) . Well, take yer time... Btw, what type PSU are you using?

420W Hiper, more than enough

Just not had time to sit down and buy all the electrical goodies and get the darn thing done

--Jakk:t

Ok im going of your topic a wee bit here so my Apologies <---less typing involved :), I have 3dMark 2003 I benched my computer about 2 days ago before installing the patch for the so called cheating,

this is my system specs

P4 2.4 533 FSB OC @ 3.00
768 PC2700 DDR
ASUS P4PE <---recomended BR BIgjaks and bill thnks love it
TI4600 OC of course running nice
845 Chipset
2 X 120 GB HDD
DVD-Rom
CD-RW

Ok anyways when I benched it without the Patch for NVIDIA’s cheating I got Score of 1500, I then downloaded the Patch for 3dmark done one more bench and my score jumped from 1500 to 2100, how is that? Did i do something wrong, I done both bench marks at the res of 1280X1224, just a lil curios is all. Sorry for pulling of your topic guys

Im not positive that this setup will pass the prime95 torture test(it did at 2300mhz). Is it going to be dangerous pushing the radeon any further than that? Also, CPU temp at full load is about 55 C (42C idle)...getting dangerously high? Thanks

55C load isnt dangerously high, its not great admittedly, but i wouldnt start worrying until your pushing up 60C

--Jakk:t

Thanks...55 C was during prime95, cpu temp during 3DMark was a little cooler. Is prime95 generally the most taxing program on the cpu?

For scoob:
Yeah, it mite be dangerous. I'm pretty sure that the RAM on the card probably won't go much higher... depending on its rated speed, of course. Obviously it's not worth damaging the card just for a higher number. Don't mean to sound preachy ;)
About yer CPU temp: how many case fans do you have? It does seems a bit high, although it is still well within the norm.

Might OC the Athlon and Radeon sometiime soon

I don't use this system for a gamiing rig, but I just thought I'd run it to see what I get....



System Specs

x51: thanks..ive got 2 intake fans at the front bottom of the case, 1 exhaust in the rear, and then the ps fan exhaust. I really dont have any room for any more, other than putting an exhaust on the top.

It wasnt stable at 2400mhz (12x200) but I did manage to get it stable at 2365mhz (11x215).

I´m so depressed, I just bought my system piece by piece and I would have sworn it was really fast and good, but I ran this thing and everything is slow. Do you think I can do anything to improve the system´s performance ??
In the 3dmark03 report it says this:
Graphics Chipset NVIDIA GeForce FX 5600 Ultra
(See internet site below)

Driver Version 4.5.2.3

Driver WHQL Certified Yes

Video Memory 128 MB

Core Clock 59 MHz

Memory Clock 171 MHz

------- Is this fine ?? The card is supposed to run at 400Mhz Core Clock and 800Mhz Memory Clock. -------

And regarding CPU this is what it says ....

CPU AMD Athlon(tm) XP/MP/4 1997 MHz

FSB 133 MHz

Is this the real FSB Speed ?? Why is it that low ?

Hope someone can help me.
Thanxs a lot

This is the site for this specific graphics board I have :t

scoob:
I sawed out three holes out of the side panel of my case and installed three 80mm fans blowing straight down onto the CPU, the RAM and the video card. THis dropped my temps alot. I'm not telling you to do this, but I pretty much had to since I live in an area known for its hot climate.

hpeterse:
The CPU speed is fine, so is the fsb at 133 mhz (266 mhz ddr). Since you have PC2700 RAM you would even have the option of fsb overclocking at some point down the road. The core and mem clock of your video card is off though. Chaintech still includes an overclocking program on their driver cd, right? That program will tell you the true core and memory clock speed. Or get Coolbits from HERE. Good luck, and let us know what the deal is.

Thanks x51 for your help.

But what do you mean with: the core and mem clock is off ??
And about Chaintech, they don´t include an overclocking program so I will try with the one you said. :x

I´ll post my results.

Thanks again :t

BTW hpeterse Whats with your apostrophes?
I say he's you say he´s
Ummm

I can't put my score up. I just got 2060 or so, no more. I compared my score to other users with the same FX5600U card and I saw a big difference. They get much more than I do. I wonder if any of my components is that bad to bring my score down like this. I've seen scores similar to mine with Ti4600 's and that makes me mad !!!
I thought I had a good system. I hate 3dmark03
The thing still shows that my core and mem clock are set to 59Mhz(core) and 153 Mhz(mem).

Well have a look at this comparison table from 3dmark
Comparison Table (have a look at vga core and mem clock speeds)

I just want to know why am I getting such a different performance with so similar components.

Thanks

Core Clock 59 MHz and Memory Clock 171 MHz is what you stated it showed up as. I haven't the foggiest why it would do that, but it is obviously wrong.

PLease I need help.
Something happened and now every game is showed really badly. The image has white dots all over and everything looks strange. Does anyone has any idea of why is this ??
Please help me I´m so scared I screwed up my card.

Help !!!!!

How would you have screwed up the card?? What did you do?

Are you getting artifacts, or something different? If so, just turn the ram down if its overclocked (a fan out somewhere or blockage?)

QUICKLY! EDIT YOUR SUBJECT LINE!!! :p
What happened... what did you do??
:t

Might be better off starting a new thread in the video card section, would get better help

Hi.
Thanks to all who tried to help me. Let me tell you my problem was nothing, I was so scared though. Anyway, I don't know what was the problem but he thing is that I set all the clocks to default and rebooted my system. Everything was ok, but I don't know what the real problem was. Anyway, the card was showing everything so bad. For example, on the 3DMark03 on the planes test, the planes where shown like if they had been hit with a thousand bulllets so you could see through them. Do you get the idea ??
Well the problem is solved and I'm so happy now. I think I will never OC my card again. My score got higher when I set the clock speeds to default; now I get 3000 points ( Remember I was getting like 2000 ? ).

Well thanxs anyway :t

blew up my ati 9800 pro, card slipped out of slot a little bit :mad: , but i ordered a hercules 9800 pro, heard good stuff about it, is it as good as people say?

...in a word, yes
