781 on 3dMark 2001! :(

[CedarTeeth135]

Just got done downloading 3dMark 2001 and boy did I do bad. This is with an XP 1700+ and a Nvidia Riva. Check signature for other specs. Can't wait until I get my GeForce 4 Ti-4200 in April. It'll be sweet.

newest drivers?

 

[CedarTeeth135]

The newest drivers i could fine were three years old. 6-17-1999.

 

[piku]

You have an XP 1700 paired with a Riva? LOL

I've got a STB Velocity 4400 around here somewhere if you need an upgrade.

 

[Egrimm]

That's the lowest score I've seen yet.

What Riva is it? Nvidia had several cards called Riva, just like the GeForces now. I remember Riva128 (several versions I think), RivaTNT (had one of those) and Riva TNT2 family (were several versions like GeForce 2, had a normal TNT2). Yeah, since the TNT I've had a card from each generation of nVidia's chips, scary isn't it?

I was on a budget when I built my computer. Spent 450 on it and I still owe my dad like 200. My original card was a Matrox MGA, boy that sucked, only 17 FP/S on UT with high settings and 800x 600. Now i get like 30. I took the Nvidia from our main "family computer" which is 4 years old. My dad won't find out.

Save up 40 or 50 bucks and buy a GF2 on E-bay or something. The difference will be amazing.

 

[CedarTeeth135]

It is a Nvidia Riva 128.

You sure didnt spend your money very well... You should have dropped to a 1500+ or 1600+ and gotten a GeForce 2 MX.

Ya, coulda shoulda woulda, I would have been upgrading to a GeForce 4 anyways. It'l hold me over for the month and a half remaining. I hope.

LOL, my Ati Rage 128 with a P3-700 pulled off 990. Me thinks we both need new cards.

 

[dakata24]

woah. that's low.. i couldnt wait for a GF4, let alone afford one, so when i built my rig listed below, i just got myself a nice Gainward GF3 Ti200 GS running at 240/500 easily. will probably try to up it more, but on my XP 1700+ @ 1.594Ghz (11x145fsb), im getting 8441 on 3dmark2001 SE.

even my duron 800/leadtek geforce256 ddr gets 2200 on 3dmark2001.

no place to go but up.. that gf4 will definately help those scores you have.

^^ What kind of cooling do you have for your computer?

antec sx1030 case
4 panaflo L1A (2 intake, 2 exhaust)
Alpha PAL8045 w/ sunon 80mm fan (39cfm/32dba)
thermaltake ddr heatspreaders

seems to be running fine at default voltage.. i actually just bumped it up to 145fsb so i dont know how stable it is yet.. other than running 3dmark2001se, i've only been browsing the web with it.

 

[Egrimm]

dakata24, how did you get that score? I'm running my 1600+ @ 1607Mhz (10.5x153) and my Palit Daytona GF3 Ti200 @ 220/515 and I only get 7775 in 2001SE. What Detonators do you use? I use 27.20, that might be the reason.

 

[dakata24]

egrimm, im using the 23.11 drivers.
