bfg 6800 3dMark scores... is this right?

[blazerazor]

Im getting a score of
8738 - 3dMark2001 and 1232 - 3dMark2005
these are the free ones from futuremark. The 2001 one looks and moves smoothly, but the 05 one is crippling and unplayable if it was a game. Is this right?? This makes me 🙁 and a little sick.

I have a 2200 athlon, dfi lanparty- rev.A, 512-pc4000 hyperx and 256-pc3500 hyperx, bfg 6800oc.
Now it says my cpu is 1352mhz. I know this is wrong. My bios is set to default now. I'll reboot and tweak it.
But can that be the reason my scores are so low???

Your bus speeds are likely off because you have mixed paired RAM modules. So you have to take it off default and force it to work right in the bios. Also make sure AGP is enabled at 4x/8x. Use CPU-Z to find out.

Ram divider should be 1:1 with a 133 MHz FSB setting.

I also recommend updating your chipset drivers if you havent all ready done so. Check DFI's web site for the download.

Edit: Make sure you have AA/AF off in 03'.

true your scores are very very low for your card. Do you have it unlocked?

multipler x13.5, FSB 100.2, fsb: Dram 3:6, cas#2.5, Ras#toCasDelay 4, ras# 4, cycle 8.

Yes its 'unlocked'. I used rivatuner and it says "256-bit NV40(A1, 16x 1, 6vp) with 128 ddr"
then I ran the 3dMarks, I have yet to run a game but the 3dMark2001 looked nice and smooth to me.

::EDIT:: Ok, Now my CoreSpeed is 1804.1 mhz, x13.5, FSB 133.6, bus speed 267.3mhz. Voltage 1.616
Ram timings 133.6 mhz FSB: dram 1:1, cas 3,rasToCas 2, Ras#precharge 2, cycle 5

hmm, i think your FSB should be higher, 166 at least but probably 200

Hummm, got ram 1:1 2.5,2,2,5. But about BIOS setting...
a couple of questions....
video ram cacheable - disable OR enable
system bios cacheable - disable Or encable
cpu thermal-throttling - 75%,62.5%,50%,37.5%, 25%, .. disabled??
AGP Aperture size - 128 or 256.... i have 768 ram.
AGP clock settings ???


New score in 3dMark2001 - 10867

see how u score on 3dmark05 that is supposed to be the video card tester.

Video ram cacheable = Disable
System bios cacheable = enable
Cpu Thermal = Leave it where it was
Agp aperature size = 128mb
AGP Clock = leave what it was.

I would think you are being severely bottlenecked by that cpu...

"I would think you are being severely bottlenecked by that cpu... "

.... ya, I plan on dropping one of those unlocked mobile chips as soon as I can. , 64bit chip is not in my budget for awhile.

I was disappointed upon loading 'painkiller' demo and seeing how choppy the intro with the skeleton and nvidia symbol was,.... but the game is pure shoot'em up bliss. The 'unlock' didnot work, painkiller showed some white artifacts scattered about the title screen. But I just disabled pixel and kept the vertex. OK.

But I still got really BAD 3dMark05, the fps were so bad I just turned it off.
