My score is pretty low for some reason...
8465
Athlon XP 2000+ still at 1.67ghz
9700 Pro ATI Built not overclocked
Epox 8KHA+ with 512mb Corsair C2 PC2100
80gb WD Special Edition hd 8mb cache
DirectX 9.0
By the way... If someone can help me with their 9700 pro demo's....
I haven't been able to get the Car one working, or the Bear, or the glass ball one.
Every time I try it says that the Globals.ati version is wrong or something. I've uninstalled
the video drivers many times and basically did everything short of a format. Just wondering
if anyone is having the same problems I am.

^^ There's the reason. Your CPU is an XP 2000+ , theirs are ~3 GHz P4's. P4's and XP's are about equal speed when you compare actual P4 clock frequencies to the PR ratings of Athlons. However the gap between an XP 2000+ and a P4 3 GHz is still 50%, and easily explains the difference!

there are still some paramaters that should be defined for this comparison ... cuz
the little button above AF 16x (on the CAT 3's anyway) has a Performance or Quality button also.
that button makes a BIG difference too.
I also have Vertical Sync for OGL as default OFF (no App. Pref. for that in the Cat 3 ,,, so VS will still be used if needed)
Button on Quality 16x = 9013 ,,, button on Performance 16x = 10,207
I have all of the settings as described for your test. I just added 2 more.
New Cat 3 with Dx 8.1
(on my AMDbox)
I'm still experiencing 'stuttering' using the Cat 3's
(esp when running High Quality)
I also noticed that the Cat3's access the Internet thru rundll32.exe now. (wtf for I wonder?)

Internet Rumors that 'ATI Drivers Are Spy Ware' Are False - 4:04 pm EST - MrB
David over at Tom's Hardware Guide has worked with ATI and MS to find the cause of the accusations on ATI's control panel. Check out the original news post over at THG.
During the past week, discussions have abounded on Internet sites that suggest ATI's Catalyst Driver package has a type of "spy ware" embedded into it. In the last day or two, suggestions from Microsoft appear to point to a root cause for these discussions. The cause, according to Microsoft (which ATI is working to verify and/or dispel), suggests that when a certain flag value is set for one of the DirectX interfaces, Windows will try to download updated Windows Quality Hardware Labs (WHQL) certificates. ATI is actively analyzing its code to determine the validity of this claim.
Microsoft has pointed out that when the activity of updating WHQL certificates takes place, no information is retrieved from the user's system. (We should hope so, considering that users abhor spy ware, and 'Gator,' in particular, comes to mind....)
The hypothesis is that something in the ATI driver
triggers an action similar to what would happen if 'DXDiag' is set to "Check for WHQL Signatures." 'DXDiag Help' has a high-level description of what happens in that case. Here is an example:
"Checking for WHQL digital signatures:
When you verify that your drivers are digitally signed by the Microsoft Windows Hardware Quality Labs (WHQL), the DirectX Diagnostic Tool may try to connect to the Internet to download new WHQL certificates. During this process, no information is retrieved from your system. [emphasis is ours]. The tool will ask you for permission to connect to the Internet the first time you run it. This will only be asked once. To change your answer, go to the System page and select or clear Check for WHQL digital signatures.
This can also be changed by typing the following at the command prompt:
dxdiag [/whql😱n] [/whql😱ff]
In this command, /whql😱n allows the DirectX Diagnostic Tool to check for WHQL digital signatures, and /whql😱ff does not allow DirectX Diagnostic Tool to check for WHQL digital signatures."
ATI says they are continuing to seek the source of the potential problem. At this time, we do not believe the rumors alleging that ATI's drivers contain 'spy ware' bear any validity. When we have more information, we will report it here.

shizz like I remember, I ain't run the benchmark in a long time, I use it solely as a stability test when I OC. Somewhere in the range of 12-13K. Doesn't matter. Games matter. What do you use your video card for...playing games, or watching 3DMark? Hey, if you watch your 3DMark all day, then by all means, care about your score. But understand that it is not a good benchmark, similarly performing systems can have very different scores.
I find that score difficult to believe at the settings I outlined above. Anyway, I do agree about games and image quality mattering. I started this thread a few weeks ago just to get an idea of what other people's score came in at with high quality settings with different rigs.
If you don't want to participate, by all means don't..... Just stay the hell out of my thread..... 😛

I don't know my exact score, and I don't know if I ran it at the same settings as you or not. Frankly, i don't care, 3DMark sucks, always has sucked, always will suck, and I will NOT stay the hell out of your thread, it is my duty to inform the less informed about the evils of 3DMark 😛

.. jeeeeeeezzzzz ...
... it would help if the members would stick to the requirements of the comparision ....
... thats all there is to it ...
... But ... that requires READING ... and UNDERSTANDING what they read .. 🙂
I think we have a good sampling here ... no more reason to be adding anymore ...
(or flaming)
Have a nice day folks !
