Really low 3D mark scores

[pga1234]

Well I dl'ed the driver that Saidin has, it fixed the problem with bf 1942 (YAY). I also dl'ed the latest VIA 4 in 1 drivers. But my 3D Mark score was 10250ish. Now whats wrong here? Or do I need to tweak my system? If so how would I go about this?

10K is low? What kind of hardware do you have? Also did you run the test with applications running in the background like GAY-O-L? Cause you had that running when you ran pcmark.

I was getting close to 12,000 when I ran 3dmark. i had no other applications running, I even killed explorer...hehe. I have been really impressed with the radeon...it sure beats the living snot out of my tnt2! :thumb:

[ReSpAwN DeMoN]

out of a tnt2? I thought they were tied lol. The 9700 beats the living snot out of my video card too! I only get 6944 in 3dmark.

My setup is:

2200+ @ 1.95
512mb ddr400 corsair
Radeon 9700 Pro

Well I know 10k is really high, but other people with Radeon's are getting 14-15K. Or is this because they are running P4's?

Ok, got rid of all the background programs. This is my new score. I am happier bout this one :thumb:

[saidin]

what settigns are you using...I noticed that it said you were not using default? Also, look at the reviews for a good comparison of there 3dmark tests!

[pga1234]

I run 3Dmark on High detail at 1024x768 at 32 bit...

To be hitting 14-15K that's exactly why.

But still ya pullin' scores that highend P4's with GF4 Ti4600's are. ;)

:D. I'm happy, I prolly have one of the more higher end AMD systems.

Now go to sleep before the sun comes up.

Now go to sleep before the sun comes up.

I know right...that score seems ok...12K is much better...but my highest score evr was 11900 with a ti4600 and 2000+...but the AMD was over clocked to 1.84...so that prolly helped.:D

[pga1234]

Newer score is 12177 :thumb:. btw the sun wasnt quite up, it was only 4:00am.

About all you can do now is tweak out the os and that should give ya some more points. :devil win
