3dmark 2003 4177
Asus 9600XT at 526/648
P4 3.2E at 200FSB
Asus P4P800 E deluxe Hyperpath (ie PAT) enabled.

I'm using the asus drivers which shows up as 6.14.10.6458 in 3d mark

I just finish this build and am benchmarking to check for problems which I think most here would agree with being an acceptable use for 3dmark. I didn't figure I'd break 4000 with an XT even at that overclock. I was at 39XX at stock speeds 499/598 which also seemed fast.

Any thoughts?

No one has any comments?

Not even 3dmark is the sUxorS!


Any rate a some more interesting info running Prime 95 in the back ground (tring to get a handle on temps) and running 3dmark dropped me to 3920 from 4177 about what I had at stock GPU speed.

Temps were about 58C running 1 instance of Prime and 3dm

My 9500 Pro's score was a bit highier than that 4400? I think Clock speeds were 325/297. SO No I don't think that is to high at all. The 9600 XT and 9500 Pro were very comparable.

Thanks JBT thats what I was looking for.

I know when I was checking out the benches from various sites it always seemed to be in the 35-3700 range.

Were you using the 9500PR with your 3200+?

No it wasn't I had a AXP clocked at 2.4GHz. But either way CPU clock doesn't really matter unless you have a new generation GPU for 3dmark03. It is a GPU intensive program releying very LITTLE on the CPU.
