This 3dMark01 a bit low for 5700 Ultra?
I get a 3dMark01 SE scores of bet 9750 and 9950 on
PNY 5700 Ultra 128 DDR2 (stock clock 300 Core/ 906 Mem) Athlon XP 2400+ 133FSB 1G PC2700 DDR ECS K7S5A mobo (I know, I know !) Latest 61.77 Official NVidia Drivers Windows XP. Dual Screen enabled. AGP 4x Not doing anything fancy but I expected higher scores. Am I missing something ? New to all this, just put my trusty Matrox G400 in storage :) -- Lordy |

I dont usually comment on stupid benchmark posts, but it seems obvious your
system is dying with a 133FSB... Yeah, but still at the most he would probably get around 1000 extra points with faster ram and a higher fsb. I had that motherboard, and switched to a NF7-S. My score went up a bit so I think it's a combination of your motherboard, fsb and memory. |

And it's a 266Mhz effective bus speed. Even P4 3.2 systems run a "true" 200Mhz FSB (800Mhz quad pumped) On a Barton 3200 or 3 GHz P4 with a gig of RAM a 5700 Ultra should bench in the 15,000+ range. You're getting scores that my old Radeon 9100 did on a Barton 3200. I would expect a 5700 Ultra on your system to be in the 13,000+ range. I've seen two reviews relevant your card and system; one an XP1800+ system clocked to slightly above XP2200 speed, and the other a Barton 3200. These reviews ran 3DMark03, and both ran the default 1024x768 benchmark at 3500 and 3950 respectively. Another review with a P4 2.4 ran the bench at 3975. If I had to point a finger somewhere, it would be at the ECS motherboard and associated chipset drivers. Try benching it with 3DMark03 and see how it compares. |

It want just a "here look at my benchmark" - but from the score it was obvious that something is not right. That FSB is 266 BTW (The standard XP 2400 T'Bred FSB). My Bad for the confusion. -- Lordy |
the latest driver release aint so good from nvidia. i use the 61.76 on my
gf fx5900xt (i know it aint the best but its good for what i use it for) i'm running 512MB DDR333 which will soon be upgraded to DDR400 when i get some cash but i get about 13000 in 3dmark2001 at default settings. even with 4xAA it doesn't go below 10000. upgrade the processor so its on a faster FSB (im not famiiliar with athlons so dont know how they work) and the RAM to PC3200 and you should get a slight increase. but for quickness downgrade to the 61.76 drivers. sp "lordy" wrote in message .. .

Something ain't right.Did you have AA enabled?AA was disabled on mine which is
what most do I think. My old system was in the mid 11k(11,490) range with a slower CPU but slightly faster vid card. The specs were 8kha+(KT266A) 1800+ XP@145FSB(1690)? 512 M DDR 20GB 7200 rpm Maxtor (2mb) hd |

Think its time for a new mobo :) The DDR400/PC3200 Memory is already on its
way from Crucial. Any suggestions for a good Socket A mobo with 400FSB around 70UKP or less! I vote NF7-S |
|
I can get an AN7 Guru for 64UKP at a local PC World. Apparently this is based on NF7-S? Just have to make sure it wasnt a duff customer return :) -- Lordy Yes it's very similar not much difference, but the NF7-S Rev 2 has been around longer and is more stable IMO. |
I think your ECS K7S5A mobo is holding you back. I'd try to find a Nforce2
mobo out there. |
If it is any help I get 10508 on my 5700 Non-Ultra/256mb card with stock
settings. -- 'I think anybody who doesn't think im smart enough to handle the job is underestimating' - G W Bush |

Cheers I'm getting that now with 128M XP 3000+ , FSB 333 , Non Dual Channel (sticks in wrong bays at the mo) , Abit AN7 (Its a long story, I killed my Brothers PC and had to give him my old XP 2400+, bought XP 3000+ as a stop gap, but K7S5A is ****e so bought a new mobo a few days later, and new DDR400 RAM - also missed an oppertunity to go 64bit but it would have meant being without a PC for a couple of days and spending a few more quid - Moral of story - never upgrade in haste... -- Lordy |
