Hi,
Running my new PNY GF3 ti 200 at 220/480. Current 3D Mark, default benchmark, no v-sync, no AA, refresh rate 100 = 6036.
When I got the card the other day, I immediately clocked it to 200/460, and got a 3D Mark of 5970 something, same conditions. I did a side by side on the details, not much diff. from fps to fill rate, etc.
I know 3D Mark means nothing, as far as games run, but figure it's good to compare clockspeed adjustments. All games run well and look great.
My ? why such a small diff? Does my cpu (1.13 Ghz), 512 MB Ram or 7200 IBM figure in 3 D Mark? In other words does the cpu speed limit any gain from the videocard at 1024/768/32 and above? any other ideas or opinions welcome, as I don't want to o/c the video card if it doesn't help.
TIA,
Mike G
edit: is it the small 20 Mhz difference, ie if the mem is clocked even higher, would it be worth it? Doh, guess I'll try 500 tomorrow
