Cat 3.7 gives lower results compared to 3.6????
Hey folks,
Ik just bought a Connect3D Radeon 9600 Pro. With the standard drivers from the cd-rom (Cat 3.6) i got a score of 3166, but when i upgraded to the standard ATI Cat 3.7 my score went down to 2585. How's this??? Greets, CathodioN. |

Have you checked your 3D settings in display properties/advanced? Chances are something defaulted to a different setting. |

What was the benchmark program? If it was Codecreatures, ATI has acknowledged that the scores are lower with 3.7 and will be fixed by 3.8. |

I just bought a Radeon 9800 Pro 128MB, for a P4/3GHz, 800 FSB/1Gig RAM
Dell, and shipping drivers on CD were 3.4. I got 17,500 on first 3DMark2001SE test, and about 5500 on first 3DMark03 B330 test. After upgrading to driver 3.7, 3DMark2001se score dropped to 15,500, but in repeated tests, have been able to get the score over 17,000 most of the time. But on 3DMark03, it won't even finish the test. It gets part way through, then bounces back to the desktop. No error messages, no nothing. Doesn't matter if I have card set to max performance or max quality on either test. Are you able to finish 3DMark03? Have you ever not been able to finish the test? Is this normal? After 20 tries, I was able to get the card to finish 3DMark03 about 4 times, with scores about 5200-5300. Am wondering if something is wrong with the card? It should be able to at least complete the test, right? Thanks for any feedback from 3DMark03 testers, regardless of ATI card. jj ==== CathodioN wrote: Hey folks, Ik just bought a Connect3D Radeon 9600 Pro.

question: If you play your favorite game with the new drivers, does it play decent or do you notice the performance drop? If so
go back if not throw out the benchmarking software. ;^) "CathodioN" wrote in message ... yeah, i was able to finish the 3dmark03 test without any problems, accept for the lower score.
