Interesting 3dmark03 score

[imported_KuJaX]

I find this score pretty interesting. I got a score of 3403 in 3dmark03. My system is in my sig:

Intel P4 3.4ghz LGA775
Abit AS8
Crucial Ballistix (2x512mb)
ATI Radeon 9500 Pro 128mb
ATI Radeon 9200se (PCI)
Seagate 15,000 18.7gb SCSI
Dual Maxtor 10,000 30gb RAID 0 sata
Creative Audigy 2 ZS

My video bba 9500 pro 128mb is bios flashed to use 9700pro bios. Here is the info:

Is it me, or is this an extremely low score?


EDIT: I got a ATI 9800 Pro in there and got a 5500.

seems average to me... i think i got 5500 or so with my 9800 pro and A64 3200...

it may be a little low, but not like hardcore low i don't think.. i don't know though.

Kinda late replying to this, but with my 9800Pro and Athlon XP @ 2.4GHz I get 5590.

Unbelievable you are running that fast of a CPU and hard drive and all with those relatively slow video cards...

 

[Hyperlite]

nah, that score is about right for the card.

 

[Paratus]

4200 with a 9600XT and P4 3.2E

 

[MemberSince97]

put a 9700 prOn in and you'll get around 5000+ or- ...

That seems low, as on an athlon xp 2600+, my 9600 pro got 3800 03 marks at stock specs.

 

[otispunkmeyer]

meh i got over 4k with my 9500pro at 330/300, not flashed just oc'd using omega drivers

and that was on a rubbish xp2000 palomino 512 ddr266 lol

 

[SneakyStuff]

My old overclocked 5700 Ultra managed to notch 4025. My overclocked 9700 Pro gets 5147. This is at the 1024 x 768 resolution. So yes, your score seems a little low to me, considering the 9500 Pro was slightly better than a 5700 Ultra.

Well instead of saying what you guys got and stating the obvious why dont you give some advice guys

Now what drivers are you using?

Secondly are you sure the BIOS flash worked and unlocked the extra pipes?

Also are you sure you have the memory in seperate channels thereby running in dual channel memory mode?

Finally if all your games run ok then why in gods name are you worried about 3dMark?? Last time i checked you can "play" 3dMark

A 9500 Pro 380/340 and a 2100+ @ 2.4GHz with 1gb single channel gives me 4898

As for the BIOS, I just followed the steps from warp11.

3DM03 is a VC dependent benchmark.
(not CPU)

I just cleared 6600 ( 6608 ) with my r9700pro
(non-stock)

3403 is somewhat low, especially if you managed to unlock the inactive pipelines. I got around 5700 with Radeon 9800.

 

[Avalon]

A 9500pro already has 8 pipelines.

Hmm i thought it had 4 pipelines and 256bit data bus. Oops sorry lol... in that case did you unlock the other half of the bus.

Well my 9500 Pro isnt the L shaped one... so its at 128 bit forever.

 

[imported_KuJaX]

swapped out the 9500 pro for 9800 pro and got 5500

 

[Gamingphreek]

Hmm in that case it sounds like the BIOS flash wasn't successful in unlocking the rest of the bus (128 --->>> 256bit).

Now play some games and stop worrying about 3dMark
