3DMark 01 / 03

[MidasKnight]

Specs:

AMD 2800+ @ 2225MHz
FSB @ 180
ATi 9800 Pro ( no overclock )
Omega Drivers ( based on ATi 4.4 CAT )

Fresh install of Windows XP Pro ( all updates )


Ran a 15200 score 2001 with only controll panel set to preformance ( all sliders left ) then tried the ATiTool ver 0.0.19 / I did not use the overclocking but I did use this tool to turn all the AA and AF to " off "

Ran 2001 again and ended up with at 17000+ score.
Ran 03 @ 5700+ score

It looks like these benches still use AA or AF in their default benchmarks. Is that true ? Is that the way thay are to be run.

Of the two 2001 scores witch on is more accurate ?

I know these benches are not a be all end all but I thought the default tests didn't use AA or AF at all.

AA/AF should be turned off for these benchmarks. You may need to turn them off in more than one place. Right-click the desktop, click Advanced, and make sure both are set to "Application Preference" there.

On the first run they were not. So by using the ATiTool it forced it off then I guess. Thanks for the info. Looks like a 1700+ score in 2001 and a 5700+ score in 03 is the right type of scores for my benchmarks then :beer:
