Ill try and get a 3.2 to 3.8 on a 9700np

Image quality doesnt seem to have increased over the 3.7's nor does speed/performance, if anything it just seems to be a lot of compatibility fixes, addition of new driver control features and an overhaul to the control panel

I do like how you can save different custom settings, instead of manually changing each time you want to change. The filters are fun to play with, I don't know how practical they are though. Just played a little black and white halo

bblqj78,
i tried setting my drivers for optimal performance as you suggested, and i only gained 54 marks........went to 4305. this is my first build, and all this stuff is new to me, so i am still learning. i am open for any suggestions to boost my score without OCing. thanks

Hmmm...funny. Make sure and do this on both the OpenGL Tab and the Direct 3D tab. You should get a lot more...make sure vertical sysnc is disabled.

I though, 3DMark is Direct 3D only.

I think it is

**Rugor** · 10-10-2003, 04:07 PM

3DMark03 is specifically a DX9 benchmark, not OpenGL.

**Andiesean** · 10-10-2003, 05:25 PM

Yes, I had both Open GL and 3D Direct set for optimal performance, and vert sync disabled............

After upgrading to the Cat 3.8 from 3.2 drivers...
I ran 3dMark 03 demo. Amazing concidering it wouldnt start before, sumink was up with it.... but i remember when i last run the demo, there was quite a bit of stuttering, and the quality wasnt good.
The quality is massivley improved as well as the performance. But remember.... thats from Cat 3.2 to 3.8!

still getting used to the drivers in the new catalyst

**cwin** · 10-11-2003, 11:23 AM

4401 3d marks
just set stuff to optimal performance, need a defrag, running plenty of programs and stuff... havent o/c'd
Ill get better

ATi 9700 np
alright i suppose... ill get better

(i was getting 3000 sometimes before)
