POST YOUR 3DMARK 2003 SCORES HERE!!!!

[Mj_Pimp]

5551,plzed

2.4GHZ P4 C
ASUS P4P800 Deluxe Mobo
512ddr400 Kingston HyperX
160GB 7200 Seagate baracuda
ATi Radeon Gainward 128MB 9800 Pro
Antec 480 True Blue PSU
Antec Plus View 1000AMG Case

I think the CPU has a Slight letdown on the 9800, i think a 3.ghz would increase the score a fair bit...

P.S,...this is without any tweaking what so ever...so im quite chuffed with the score lol

Naa...probably not. You could easy OC your CPU but will make very little difference to 3dmark2003 scores. Its mainly based on the power of the graphics card...so if you want to get higher...OC the 9800pro!

Let me remind that 3DMark2003 runs all on GPU (videocard) the CPU dosent madder much at all if any.
You should get 6k from stock but i guess 5500 without no OC is quite good.

hmmm,

i still get jerkovision in sum games like,...NFSU wen i wak everything up....which sucks lol....all i can think is that either i need 2 do sum major tweaking or need a faster cpu

lol, man, of course the CPU matters when benchmarking with 3dmark. WHy do you think people OC BOTH their CPU and video card? Your telling me that a 3ghz P4 with a 9800pro is going to run at the same speed is a 2ghz P4 with 9800 pro? WRONG! The CPU is just as important as the GPU when benchmarking with 3dmark2003.

When searching for a project on futeturemark, why do you think they have an option for you to select what CPU you want to compare your scores with?

Thats what I found......maybe 100-200 points difference. Woopie

[Mj_Pimp]

LOl, yea not much.....but look at this way....in todays line of games a 3.0ghz CPU is gona give u higher frame rates than a 2.4 in a system like mine...,,


TBH anyone who takes benchmarking to seriously is stupid..,
The real benchmark is if u can manage to play upcomers like farcry at full eye sore beauty

The last time i check, 3dmark03 was for video benching, and cpu has little difference in the scoring. The benchmark itself is depended on the video card.

[cwin]

3dMark03 is meant to compare vidcards. It matters a lot less on the rest of yer system. 3dmark01 is more of a full comparation

didnt they do a test?
a 1.2ghz w/ a 9800pro
and
a 3ghz with a GeForce 4
or sumink..?
and the 9800 system won...
prolly got the wrong specs
bigjakk knows i think

Ace's Hardware did a test using a PII-350 and a P4 with a modern high end video card. I don't remember the exact results, but there was no real discernable difference despite the vast performance gap between the two CPUs.

[Bigjakkstaffa]

PII350 w/Radeon 9700 Pro Vs P42.4Ghz with a ti4 series card if memory serves

The difference between the two scores was marginal

I noticed a 200 point jump taking my CPU from 2100+ to 2600+. Thats not even that high of an OC. I can't see a 350mhz CPU scoring as good as a 2.4ghz CPU. And this test is not all video card based, why do you think they have a test called "CPU Test" ?

There we go, been a long time since i read it hence the innacuracy with the previous post, however tell me 3000 marks out of a P350 when most people with 2Ghz CPU's cant achieve that sort of level is indicative of a benchmarkl which places equal emphasis on CPU and Video card in producing its scoring system

[Bizkitkid2001]

Ummm, I have a 1.73ghz CPU and can score 5XXX, well over the 3XXX mark you are saying.

[Bigjakkstaffa]

Read the article, it clearly shows that 3dmark 2003 is firstly a measure of graphics card power (and direct X 9 graphics cards only really at that as show by its huge penalisation of the R8500 for lacking DX9 hardware) and secondly (and a very second class second at that) a measure of CPU power as signified by the fact that in the correct (graphics card) circumstances a PII-350 is presented (though we all know it isnt) as being more powerful than a 1.4GHz Celery.

CPU power is a very, very second class citizen to the power of ones graphics card when determining the performance rating of a system in 3dmark2003, for this reason i personally see it as being no use to those not using DX9 hardware Gfx cards and indeed doubt its worth as a benchmark full stop in that it only really caters for the top 10% of all machines at best in terms of usefullness

PS as ive said its all to do with your graphics card, if you put a ti4200 in with your 1.74Ghz you will be lucky to score 2000 Marks. I know this because ive used a ti4200 with a 2.3Ghz Athlon XP and pushed 1500 Marks at best
