Ti4800se scores via 3DMark03 free vr.
Thanks for the info. Are there 3rd party drivers that make the 4800 a
better card with DX9? "YanquiDawg" wrote in message ... It shows as a DX8 part.3DMark 03 is more for testing DX9 video cards.The 4800se doesn't support DX9.That's why your benchmark is only 1621. I just ran the 3Dmark03 tests and scored "1621". Is this a decent score? Also, why does nView show my DirectX at vr8.1 as I've installed DX runtime 9.0a? |

It lacks the hardware support for DX9 specific functions. Drivers can't compensate for this. The only "third party" drivers I've ever heard about for nVidia are the Omega ones. And they're essentially just pre-tweaked drivers. There may be drivers from nVidia that will make a 4800 function more "compatibly" with DirectX 9 but it will never be "compliant". From a TH article: The features and capabilities of modern 3D chips mostly follow the specification set forth in *Microsoft's Direct 3D standard* http://www.microsoft.com/windows/directx/default.asp. This spec dictates which features a chip must support to be considered "DX 9 compliant," meaning that it fulfills the entire specification. Note that "DX 9 compatible," on the other hand, only means that DirectX 9 games will run on the hardware in question, but not that all features are supported! Once the spec becomes finalized, the chipmakers introduce new chips that support these new features. -- "Of course it is always possible to draw false parallels -- the lessons of history are more obscure than they seem. For that matter, so are the lessons of human behavior: Mister Rogers is dead and Keith Richards isn't." Steve [Inglo] |
