Got a new video card: how does 7566 3D marks sound?

[notfred]

I jsut got myself a $75 video card (Radeon 8500) and ran 3D Mark 2001SE. Got 7566 3D marks. Does that sound about right? Some of those demos are incredible.

depends on the cpu its paired with, tell us this...

AthlonXP 1600+ (1400mhz)

Your processor does contribute but for 75$ I think those scores are good.

Sounds about right to me.

Sounds pretty good, depends a lot on the image quality settings on your Radeon. With my 8500 and P4 1.8@2.4, I get 8151 in 3dMark 2001 SE at the settings that I play games at (High quality, but not maxed out). If I set all the options all the way to "Performance", that goes up to 9,397. And if I OC the card, and set my system memory to aggressive timings, I can break 10K - nice number, but, all in all, we would probably get similar frame rates in a real game at 1024x768, or 1280x1024 resolution.

I have gotten over 14000 on my P4 2.66 @ 2.74 (a bit conservative OC) and radeon 9700
