9800 pro only gets a score of 3800 in 3dmark03

Hi

Well I thought I'd spec my new AIW 9800 pro, sitting in a A7N8X deluxe
rev2 bios 1007with a Athlon XP 3200+ 400fsb running at 2.37 with 768megs
of OCZ pc3200EL ram.
System is clocked at 11 x 211 stable running prime95 for 12 hrs.

My 3dmark03 was in and around 3800, I was choked, its a fresh XP pro
install.
Even OC the video card with ATI Tool 401core and 378mem didnt do much
better.

Seems like i should be up in the 5000 area.

Advice?

thx
Gordon

Turn off V-sync?

It should be ~6000.
You may have bough 128 bit R9800 Pro. I'm sorry. ;p

3DMark turns off V-Sync by itself. )

Have you set 3D setup to custom and checked Application Preference on both
AA and AF?

No it doesn't.

That happens to me all the time, I have AA and AF cranked in the CP and
wonder why my score's so low. Always check first or use Radlinker so
3DMark always starts with the same settings.

Yes it does. You can even choose between V-Sync ON and V-Sync OFF in the
Settings tab. ;p

If you have it forced "Always On" in the Control Panel it will override
the apps settings. In the same way though the default 3DMark03 test is
run at AF 4x and AA off if you have those forced higher in the CP the
test will be run that way.
Now, I think 3DMark03 does somehow prevent you from using lower
settings, turning down AF, for example. But you can have things forced
on in the CP and it will definitely lower your score.
