3DMark '03

Hey, I was just wondering if a score of ~5200 is about right for my rig listed below. Maybe too low?? I really don't know what score I should be expected. Ok thanks!

Actually... That seems a tad slow.... I've got a 1800+ AMD and ATI 9800 Pro and I get about the same score. The processor doesn't made a HUGE difference, but it does effect the score. I would have expected a score close to 6K for you.

Hmm...I wonder what I haven't done that I need to do...it seemed a little bit low to me too based on what I know. Any tips on stuff I can do to improve the score?

Make sure you have AA and AF off. Also, is your 9800pro 256-bits?

Maybe a tad low, but nothing to worry about. Try tweaking memory timings a little bit. Also, try toying with your video card settings.

I get about 5800 with the system listed in my sig. If I overclock the video card a little I get about 6400.

I get just below that with an MP1800+ and 9800 Pro.

Cpu speed doesn't make any significant difference with 3dmark03. The fastest processor will do about the same as an average cpu in this test as long as the video card is the same.

Also I was using onboard sound and then got an Audigy 2 ZS sound card and the score didn't change. I though it might since this test will does sound testing.

Yea my 9800 Pro is just 128 bit...so maybe 5200 is about right...
AA/ AF is "application preference" so it shouldn't be that. Thanks guys

That's why
