GF4 MX440 and Ti4200 - low scores in 3DMark
Hi,
I've tried both the GeForce4 MX440 64MB and GeForce Ti4200 64MB on my computer that has an Athlon XP 2400+ (266MHz bus) CPU but I get much lower scores in 3DMark than people with similar configurations. These are my best scores so far: Ti4200 with latest drivers: 8013 (and 8774 @ 640x480 resolution) Ti4200 overclocked to 290/597 with latest drivers: 8344 Ti4200 overclocked to 290/597 with 40.xx drivers: 8753 MX440: approx. 4500 MX440 overclocked: 4780 With the Ti4200 I've seen people with a score around 10,000 with my range of CPU. 10,000 is a 25% difference! This would really help for a game like 'Enter the Matrix' which I am playing right now. The MX440 also has higher score among other people, but I don't have the figures with my right now. Why am I not getting this performance? I've checked various newsgroup articles for an answer to my problem but can't seem to find any. I have the latest NVidia drivers as well as the latest VIA 4-in-1 drivers. I have AGP Fast Write enabled in the BIOS, Graphics Aperture also adjusted to 256MB, but still no big improvement. I really don't want to re-install WindowsXP, unless that is the sure solution! My configuration is listed below, as well as the results for the Ti4200 benchmark.

Yes,thats really low score. I with AMD Barton 2800+ MSI KT3V 512 DDR GW GF 4 4200 have 13.000 Forget to say OS is win 98se and det.44.03 With GeForce Ti 500 have aprox 10.000 |

Well i am getting about 8800 with a 2400+kg7+512mb+4200 64mb 8x(in 4xmode).
I have been wondering too why its a little low. thou my abit video card came underclocked in memory the stock was 250gpu/250(500)mhz memory. Am still using the 31.40 drivers. I can get close to 10000 if i overclock the cpu to 2200mhz and the video card memory 550. but that is not really the point. I suspect the via 4 in drivers, but i tired of installing updated drivers from nvidia and all the dam 4 in 1 drivers. my board is dated now and believe any drivers are mainly for new boards. but i have not experience any lags in unreal II (single player game) and jedi knight and moha, battlerfield 1942(thou that game has some jitters of its own) .

I think i understand what the problem may be now.
I did a benchmark on my CPU using SiSoft Sandra, and the numbers are comparable to something like an Athlon XP 1700+!! Something is wrong. At bootup it says I have a 2400+.. but the performance isn't there! :-( chrisrobin wrote: Well i am getting about 8800 with a 2400+kg7+512mb+4200 64mb 8x(in 4xmode).

Found out that when I upgraded to my 2400+, that I had used jumper-free
mode to automatically set the sysclock and cpu_ratio settings. Apparently those settings are bogus cos SiSoft Sandra's CPU benchmark doesn't match mine up with a reference 2400+ CPU. Well, I went to jumpered mode just now and manually set the jumpers. In SiSoft, it showed the correct results this time!! But in 3DMark, it still said 8344 :-( D I wrote: I think i understand what the problem may be now.

I have a Ti4200. If I run my 2500+ Barton at 2GHz with no OC and the 45.23
drivers, I get 11,662 in 3DMark2001. If I use the 44.03 drivers I get 12,248. Changing to the 43.45s or the 44.03s might give you a higher score but I would guess you have non-default settings in Display Properties. If that's not it then uninstall your drivers and clean out System32 and the registry of everything related to nVidia, then reinstall the drivers. Get the AquaMark benchmark and see how you scores compare there. www.aquamark3.com With the Ti4200 OC'd, I get around 22,100 with the CPU at 2GHz. Part of the problem with 3DMark2001 is, you don't know the overclocking numbers. The AquaMark3 benchmark shows the overclocking.

I finally realized the problem is that my PC is getting too hot.
Removing the cover seems to make the CPU go to normal speed. With this finally determined, I decided to go with the following tests: 45.23 drivers: Scores: 8344 (250,513 - default settings) 10292 (282,563) 10429 (285, 597) 44.03 drivers: 10968 (285, 601) I've determined the 44.03 drivers to be much better, so i'll go with those. Still don't know why it goes so slow at normal sped. In the meantime, i'll try out Aquamark. Too_Much_Coffee ® wrote: I have a Ti4200.

With this finally determined, I decided to go with the following tests: Go into your BIOS and try to find the setting CPU Thrm Throttling. The percentage in there is how much CPU will be shut down when it gets a little warm. I have foten found the throttling kicks in too early ( around 40 degree in some cases ) so the best thing to do I found was to knowck the throttling down to 25% or 12.5% if you are feeling lucky - that way when it gets warm it wont throttle the processor too much. Hope this helps Daniel P.S - Get yourself a PCI Slot Fan as well - those babys are filthy cheap ( around £5 ) and suck a whole tonne of heat out of your box, and it sits right under your GFX card so that the card is not adding the system temp too much |

Get the freeware program Motherboard Monitor 5 and set it up so you have an
icon in the system tray that tells you the CPU temp. You can get it he http://mbm.livewiredev.com/ It monitors CPU and system temperature, voltages and fan speeds. It can also be used to shut your computer down if it gets above a set temperature. Some mobos have that ability and some don't. My temps are 46 CPU, 33 System with a room temp of 25C.
