I've had 3DMark2003 downloaded for quite some time now, so I figured I'd install it. :eek:

My results are very low, to say the least. I know you cannot compare 3DM2001 w/2003 as they are completely different programs.

I am running DX9 (so far, so good).

I scored 1045. Pretty sad, I think! :disgust:


That's w/a 2.1GHz CPU/200FSB/GF3


What's your score and what's your setup. (brief description, like above)

Wow, SgtZulu; did you come up with that all by yourself, or did someone have to help you?

To score high u need not the DX9, but DX compatible hardware, Like Radeon 9500+, GeForce FX. GF2, GF3, and GF4 have DX7 and DX8 support. If u had hardware DX9, u'd score 5000 or so.

The new NVidia FX cards aren't DX9 hardware? (I'm not hip on the newest of the new stuff...) Sheeeeeet; I almost bought one last night! *whew*

Side note: I shipped my dead 4200Ti back (RMA) today. I should have a new one in two weeks or so. I must admit; the Ti was much faster than the GF3, BUT the GF3 has better image quality. Colors are crisper and framrate, while not as high, seems smoother, somehow. :confused:

It's *OFFICIAL*, my videocard sucks. I've got a Ferrari system running on Yugo tires. :disgust: The GF3 was Da'Bomb in it's day...but it's a grandma videocard now. :p

I must admit though, AFA regular gaming goes, as long as I keep it under 1024x768 with a mid-level of eye-candy, it does pretty good and the image IS sharper than my Ti4200.

That's what I love to see; AT Staff overclocking like mad. :D Excellent! :cool: That 9700P is looking better and better as the days go on.

I want to see what Palit ships me (I RMA'd my dead 4200Ti today..I didn't kill it...really!) before I spend big buks on either a 9700P or an FX-flava card.

i think you guys missed the point of Sgt Zulu's post: who gives a shite about 3dMark2003. comparing scores is like comparing penis length: might be fun, but it really doesn't tell you how the performance is in real applications.

Nah...I got the point of his post...he's an idiot. :p

Anyway, while things like 3DMark and SANDRA might just be "synthetic benchmarks", they are still a recognized standard in our Geek World.

If you tell me that your rig scores XXX-number of 3DMArks in 3DMark2001, I know what that means. It gives me a yardstick, if you will, which to compare my system against.

You're just jealous that our ePenii are bigger than yours. ;)

And while they might be artificial, there's still some basis in reality (barring cheater drivers).

Ah, that explains it. I was wondering about that - the DX9 support does it. I'm around 1600 with my GF4 and overclocked 2100+ - I was wondering why the big gap when I wasn't too far away from non-overclocked 9700's in 3DMark2001 SE.
