Anybody know a good way to get an extra 300 or so 3dmarks?

[SithSolo1]

I know it doesn't matter but I want to be the fastest with a 1ghz cpu.

My current score 6472: Mine

Score to beat 6732: I really want to beat this

I have already OC'ed the card to 290/290, I'm temped to go higher. I have about 220 CFM airflow in the case and my avege case temp is 23C.

I don't want to OC my System ram or my cpu.

Any tweaks or tips would be great.

Any negative comments are welcome but not necessarily wanted. 😀

Well thanks for reading, check back later.

What is your AGP aperture set to in the bios? If it's 64, bump it up to 128. Play with it from there and see what happens. CPU really does not make much difference here. Set your CPU to run at 7 X 142FSB= 994mhz. The increased FSB may gain you a little.

The increased system fsb will definately give you a performance boost. On my system I've scored higher with my Athlon XP running at 1633mhz and a 155mhz fsb, over running it at 1667mhz and a 133mhz fsb.

Increasing the core/ram speed on your video card will also improve your scores, even more than incrreasing the cpu speed would. You should be able to run your ram at a higher speed than that. It does have 3.6ns RAM right? I'm currently running the 3.8ns RAM on my GF3 Ti500 at 590mhz (295mhz DDR), so your ram should be able to go higher than that.

well u should be getting higher.. i get 7000 but have a Radeon.. they do better in 3dmark... plus what does the AGP thing hel pwith... 64-128?

 

[bjc112]

why have the CPU at 1000? bump it too 1333.. or like 12** and up FSB till u hit around 1333 FSB will increase scores

Make sure all the unnecessary programs running in the background are turned off(i.e.Ctrl+Alt+Del), as this can decrease the score also.
