3DMark03 only 2374 with P4 2.4\640MB\9800 ?

[novon]

Is there something wrong? When I compared it online to similar systems most people got 4000-5000. Any ideas what the problem is?

Thanks

Do you have AA/AF set to something the ATI control panel? (not checked for application preference) If so that means you're running 3dmark using AA/AF which it wouldn't use by default, causing the lower scores.

Doh! 4X AA 16X AF was on, now a good 4838 score. Thanks for your help

Now if I could only fix RageTweaker so I can overclock. I can't uninstall the crap it left behind and it won't reinstall.

For a minute there I was thinking "wow, my 1.4GHz Athlon XP, 1GB DDR, 9600 Pro beats his almighty P4!". Alas I was mistaken...

Yes, yes you were!


Another thing to remember is the cipset drivers. My score was almost 1000 lower than it should be because I forgot the mobo chipset drivers. I reinstalled windows and put the drivers in, it helped greatly.
