This 3dMark01 a bit low for 5700 Ultra?

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

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.

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...

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

Your system isn't as much of a dog as the previous posters would have you
believe. 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.

I got mid 13000 with the system below, which dropped to mid 12000s
when I updated the drivers and DX from 9.0b to 9.0c !?!?

Windows XP Home SP1
Athlon 2500+ XP

I used the following tweak guide. It is for DoomIII but if you follow
all of the linked advice it makes a big difference (at least it has on
my machine)
