3350 marks on 3DMark03 !?

[silencerius]

I'm on a P42,6C@2,9, 512MB ram PC3200, ATI radeon 9600 PRO (o/c @ 450/325) w/ catalyst 3.8 and on 3dMark03 i get only 3350 marks! I've seen similar systems getting a 5000+ score. Apart from that, CPU marks are a bit above 200! Is that normal? What's wrong!? vsync, AA, AF are off, triple checked :|

Doesn't seem terrible considering you have a 9600 Pro, but I'm not entirely sure...

5000+ with 9600Pro??????? I don't think so.

 

[silencerius]

sorry for the 5000+, seems to be 4000+... just go to futuremark and search for projects with radeon 9600 series and you will see it..

however, the CPU mark can't be correct! I get ONLY 200 marks whereas other people on the same frequency get 400-600! What could be the fault? help!

 

[Herop]

take it easy, just some numbers

Your cpu score should be around 630 at stock speedsaccording to Intel. I think you have overclocked something to high which will cause serious drop in your 3dmark03 score. This is assuming you have the settings right. What are your scores at stock speeds? You should always set a baseline score.

 

[fredtam]

Also, what is the compare URL?

 

[silencerius]

thanks for you concern fredtam!

you have scared me though.. in 2600 (my default CPU speed) it still gets no more than 230 cpu marks ...

i don't know if this will work but here is my project link @ 2,6Ghz: http://service.futuremark.com/servlet/Index?pageid=/orb/projectdetails&projectType=10&projectId=1477268

and here is the compare URL: http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k3=1477268

i think you need a 9700 pro in order to get 5000++ in 3dmark03

 

[fredtam]

I don't know how much difference it makes but you seem to be using an older build (3DMark03 Revision 1 Build 3). Download the 330 patch.
Then set everything to default (cpu & vid card). Run 3Dmark03 again and establish a control benchmark. After that bring it back up to your current OC, run it again and see what happens.

Just ran a 3Dmark03

P4b 2.53
Hercules 9700pro

Total score 4869
CPU score 506

 

[silencerius]

patched 3dMark with the 330 patch and set my gpu and cpu back to the defaults settings..

cpumarks still 226 :|
3dmark score 2800+ smt..

what could be wrong damn it... brand new pc..

3k in 3dm03 is what you should expect. Your CPU is the bottleneck. When I OC'ed my P4 to 3Ghz and ran 3dm03 with my 9600 Pro, I got the same score I did at 2.4Ghz.

 

[silencerius]

why man what's wrong with my CPU? :/

 

[fredtam]

The only thing that looks way off is your CPU score.
Here is a compare url with settings close to your original settings (vid card) and the cpu at stock.
[L=]http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k3=1300271[/L].
Do you have HT on or off.
What memory timings.

It looks like you should top out about 3700-3900 marks.

 

[xEDIT409]

I get 1400

 

[UnTech]

I am right there with NIMO.

P4b 2.53
ATI AIW 9700pro

3DMark03

4937

Whoops forgot to look at CPU score!

 

[Tetsuo]

That's what I get on my system, at stock too

 

[silencerius]

hyperthreading is on!
memory frequency is manually set at 400mhz (in auto mode it booted up in 266 .. dunno why)

everything else is in auto mode, that contains voltages, agp/pci freqs etc... i haven't touched anything else in the bios..
and that's what is concerning me.. maybe i didn't set up the system correct? :[

 

[InlineFive]

Have you installed appropriate system/gpu drivers, etc?

 

[silencerius]

i think so.. i have catalyst 3.8 and all the drivers that where in the mobo cd (p4c800-e deluxe)...

 

[Slammy1]

Do you have AA&AF set to Application Preference? I don't remember all the settings, but d/l Rage3d and set it to 3dMaro1.

 

[silencerius]

yes i have put application preference in AA and AF but still what does it have to do with the CPUmark? That's what is concerning me.. I get 200 marks and I should get 600++

 

[nimo]

Aside from the benchmark is every thing working ok?
No slow downs or any thing on other app?
