POST YOUR 3DMARK 2003 SCORES HERE!!!!

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

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

[x51out]

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.

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

[scoob19]

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

Abit NF7-S
Athlon XP 2400+
2 x Dimm SDRAM PC-2700 256Mb --> 512 Mb Total
Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 80Gb SATA (with the Serillel Adapter from Abit)
Chaintech A-FX71 Apogee FX 5600Ultra
DirectX9.0b



This is the site for this specific graphics board I have

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.

[hpeterse]

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.

I´ll post my results.

Thanks again

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

[hpeterse]

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

hpeterse:

But what do you mean with: the core and mem clock is off ??

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.

[hpeterse]

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 !!!!!

[x51out]

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

[jakemmx]

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