I was just curious as to what other performance/gaming level PCs are scoring in benchmarking
and also how those of you with those now fairly rare 256 bit radeon 9500s are doing as far as overclocking them
I'm running a $650 machine that consists of:
AMD Athlon XP 2500+ @ 2ghz w/Volcano 7+
512 GB Geil Golden Dragon PC3200 @ 213Mhz DDR433
Epox 8RDA3I nForce 2 board
Connect3d Radeon 9500 softmodded to Radeon 9700 @ 310/290 (going to OC this more very soon)
60 GB IBM Deskstar ATA133 @ 7200RPM
120 GB Maxtor ATA133 @7200 RPM
Liteon 48x/24x/48x CD-R/DVD combo drive
420w Enlight PSU
Floppy
Super power case (go el cheapo)
When I was originally at stock settings, I scored around 13,900 in 3dmark 2001SE
Right now I'm scoring around 15,000
Too bad my 2500+ couldn't make it to 3200+...
My first connect3d radeon 9500 had 3.3 ns infineon memory...it softmodded but soon started artifacting
slightly at first, but then progessively more so, without any overclocks
I was getting headaches, so I sent it back for a new one, and the one I received had 3.0ns memory
after unlocking and softmodding it, I was quite happy
2 softmod successes 😀
I almost want to get a 9800se and softmod that next, since I found softmodding a fun little endeavour, but I think i'll just wind up buying a radeon 9800 pro 128mb next, since that thing is only going for around $210
or I may just wait until the PCIX cards coming out this year
rawr!
what's everyone else's scores?
