9600XT: how's this 3DMark score?
Just got a Radeon 9600XT 128MB. And for the 2nd time in my life ran a 3DMark
benchmark. =) The last time was back when it was called MadOnion or something. Anyway, using 3DMark03, I got this sco 3DMark Score 3559 3DMarks CPU Score 322.0 CPUMarks My hardware in addition to the above card: AMD Athalon XP 1600+ (1.4GHz) 512 MB RAM Epox 8KHA mobo (VIA KT266 (266MHz FSB)) 4xAGP 100ATA HD What do you think? Good score? Bad score? What might make it better? Thanks for any replies! Liam |

I just enabled Fast Writes in the BIOS and re-ran 3DMark and this time got a
score of: 3588. Is that a pretty good improvement, or not much at all? I'm about to go run "Battlefield:1942" and the "Call to Arms" demo and see if there's any difference. =) Thanks, Liam |

29 pts isnt pretty good - its a fluctuation that you may get anyway and in a
real game translates to an extra 10th of a frame ? Fast-writes generally cause instability so if your games lockup thats the first thing to change and the second will be to switch off that stupid VPU recovery function. dont get sucked into comparing artificial benchmarks. youve just bought a very nice and quite fast graphics card - start enjoying your games.

I think your score are pretty good - I get around the 3500 mark and I've got
an Athlon 2400. "Sleepy" wrote in message ... 29 pts isnt pretty good - its a fluctuation that you may get anyway and in a real game translates to an extra 10th of a frame ?
