POST YOUR 3DMARK 2003 SCORES HERE!!!!

[DemonExecutor]

can anyone tell me where i can find a overclocking tool? i have a pentium 4, 2.4ghz. and a ATI 9800. thank you

I use Radlinker. If you want to try it:

I have an older version that what is listed on this page, but mine works fine for an ATI 9500Pro(bios flashed to 9700Pro)

If you do not like that one, go to google search engine and type in ATI overclocking utilities.--RH--

Rage3DTweak is a good one, available HERE!

how far can i overclock, before hurting my computer, and video card? pentuim 4_2.4ghz, and ATI 9800

[DemonExecutor]

VGA Memory Clock 290.3 MHz
VGA Core Clock 324.0 MHz

this is what its set at now, thank you Demon Executor

****, i want a 9800 non-pro - do tell me how you get on overclocking it, maybe I can save a few over the pro if i decide to upgrade...

anyone know where to get one in the uk??

Btw,roadhog, i updated the memory timings on my downstairs pc with the 9700 non-pro and got 17500 on 2001. I'll post some screens when i can get round to it.

[NameLess]

I got 1600 marks

Asus P4P800
P4 2.4 533
256x2 DDR2700, 333 DUAL
MSI GeForce4 ti4800SE
Is it good for my PC ?

thanks for the websites, now i need a overclocking tool for my pentium 4, does anyone know where i can get one? thank you DemonExecutor

nameless you have the same motherboard as me - get overclocking!!! i've pumped mine up to 3.3ghz which also means I have the benefit of 1100mhz fsb. your 3dmark bottleneck as the older nvidia cards cant handle it. 5900 smacks **** on it though.

demon executer, check your bios. there is no overclocking tool as such, but if you have a newer motherboard you should be able to adjust system frequency in your bios. currently it's probably set to either 100, 133, or 200. Try upping it a notch at a time and see how far you can go

Ok, I fooled a little with overclocking my video card and my CPU. Turning the Video card frequency or memory up too high resulted in artifacts, so the best test was Game Test 4 on 3D-Mark03 to see these. I just played with the settings till I saw no artifacts. Also, when increasing the CPU speed, increasing it 10% resulted in some weird jerky frame rates during testing. So I was forced to lower it to 7.5%.

Non-overclocked score and settings:

Score was 5612

Pentium 2.8C
Asus P4S800
1 gig PC3200
Radeon 9800 Pro 128mb (378 MHz core / 337 Mhz memory)
Maxtor 80gig UATA/133

Overclocked score and settings:

Score was 6017

Pentium 2.8C (OC to 3.0 GHz)
Asus P4S800
1 gig PC3200
Radeon 9800 Pro 128mb (416 MHz core / 347 MHz memory)
Maxtor 80gig UATA/133

I'm by no means an expert, so if someone has any other suggestions on how to increase performance without causing artifacts or jerky framerates during testing, please let me know.

thats a pretty **** nice score. on my other system I cant seem to get the 9700 non pro past 5300. those 9800s clock like beasts!!

you could try tweaking memory timings - but this does depend on the quality of the memory you have. However, 3dmark 2003 is very graphics card intensive, so it's mainly graphics card adjustments that seem to make a difference and you've done that.

with the cpu adjustments, try overclocking manually - setting fsb, vcore and things like that yourself. You'll be able to fine tune your cpu performance a little more perhaps.

ok, i messed with overclocking on my ATI 9800, just a little, i took the core up from 324 to 351 and the memory from 290.25 to 301. and my previous score was 4750, and this score with the overclocking is 5078, not to bad. thanks, Demon Executor

[crunchyfish]

thanks roadhog, ill try that with the mem... i think its only at 2.5, but ill try it again soon and keep u updated, i heard of a guy overclocking his 2.4 to 3.6, thats pretty nuts, but yeah its 2.4b... oh yeah, and how much would you say you could overclock a radeon 9800 pro without heatsink on the memory and the factory heatsink on the gpu

try taking it up further, you should be able to get 370-380 out of the core and 325+ on the mem without any trouble. Look for scores in 2003 of 5500+.

(I still want that card!! :P)

[juniormito]

I need help i know that you can help me

what card should I buy
VGA GAINWARD, Ultra/800 "GS"
ASUS AGP-V9900TD
ATI RADEON 9700
