3DMarks.. is this good?

[LarryS]

I'm getting 4042 3dmarks with the following config:

(Default 3dMark2000 Settings)

PIII-800
256 MB PC133
Radeon LE (Tweaks + Running at 187.10 mhz)

Any ideas to get that mark up.. or is that pretty good?

Also, is it safe to run my card at 187 mhz without any cooling?

Thanks..

I think you should be getting a little higher than that. I am getting about 4500 32bit color 1024X768 with the 7072 drivers... and got about 4650 with the retail drivers.. ( but the betas offered better stability. Also I get about 5100-5200 in 16bit color.

Anyone else have an opinion?

Kind of low. You should be in the 5000's.

Have you enabled z-optimization in powerstrip...I almost missed this one and it boosted my scores by 800 in 32bit...

I get at 185/185 5400 at default...I agree with oldfart, 5000's should be your scores.

Yeah 183/183 IMHO should be the limit of the passive cooling...I am getting ramsinks, GPU runs pretty cool so I will leave the stock sink...I also have a 120mm fan blowing across my pci cards.
