Radeon 9800 pro, 3.5 drivers, 3dmark03 = 5090 ??
Ok now I am well aware that 3dmark03 scores are lower then 3dmark01 by
quite a bit, and I am well aware of the D9 prefrence (but this is a D9 card). Now 5090 looks like a good score kind of in the middle of everyones test results .. but to me it shouldn't be in the middle ?? Test system = Abit IC7 Intel P4 3.0GHZ (800mhz FSB) Micron PC3200 DDRRAM (1GB, 4 chips so utilizing the doubling ability) 2 * Western Digital Raptor's in Raid 0 (super fast ! love these guys) Radeon 9800 PRO 128meg version Windows XP SP1 Catalyst 3.5 (most current download as of yesterday) I see people with 2.6ghz 533mhz fsb processors with pc2700 ram getting scores of 5100 .. what am i missing ? (yes i know scores aren't everything at the same time i spent a lot of money on this rig and i want to eek every ounce of performance out of it i can). |

Are you sure it is a Pro? Of course you are Yeah, my 9800NP gets those
same scores so something is not quite right...also, I have the same specs as you only 512 on the RAM side. Is it a big manufactured computer such as Dell? Recently, I reformatted my drive and went straight to cat 3.4. My 3dmark03 scores were only 3300 or so. I had to install the Dell drivers and then install the 3.4s on top of those. After that I received a score that is similar to yours. Good luck, Ceyko "Todd Richert" wrote in message om...

I'm running a very similar system and my 3DM2003 default setting scores are
running 5800 to 6000 no matter how I configure my processor (2.8 to 3.4 GHz) or set up my memory. I think your scores are unacceptably low, there shouldn't be a 15% variation. I'm also running the latest drivers, but I am running Win2K SP 3. Could the operating system be making a difference? I don't think it's your processor or memory holding you back. Are you running the freeware version of 3DM2003? Are you running at the default settings? If not, that could also explain a difference in scores. BTW, my Radeon 9800 Pro is a Sapphire.

Yep dude that score is definately below what you should get with your
machine specs. I have an AMD 2800 Kt400 mobo 9700 Pro1gig ram (2x512) and a Barra V SATA drive. With everything at default settings (Hardware & software) I get just under the 5000 mark 4875 I think it was so your comp should definately perform better than that.

Sorry dude I should have added that I am using XP Pro SP1.
Also try playing with the memory timings in the bios as a bit more aggressive timings may make no difference but may help out but cannot hurt. And check all your transfer speeds ie HDD transfers make sure aais off etcetc Sanies "Sanies" wrote in message u...

Are you running the 3d mark with default ati properties? What's the point of doing otherwise? I can understand that people fascinated by numbers might get some pleasure by disabling features simply to reach a higher score. But if one wants to compare one's system performance with that of other systems, surely the most useful and informative comparison is between systems running as they would in normal use? Were I interested in generating high numbers I'd be more tempted to buy a pinball machine than a computer. When I run 3dMark I run it with the settings I usually play with, IE 6xFSAA, 8x Performance Anisotropic filtering etc.. I didn't play the thing very often, though, as it's not really fun, so I don't really remember the 3DMarks. But I play other games alot and they are fun |

The rest of your hardware has little impact on the score. What's the core/memory speeds on your video card? Of course, to properly compare scores, you need to turn off all AA and AF in the D3D properties, which may not be your default settings. Gene |
