Look at my hardware. I broke 13000 with my P4. My other friend with the same card and a dell 8200 (P4 2.4GHz 400FSB) broke 11k.

I think everyone disables the sound. Make sure your tweaking your driver (disable vsync in Dx & GL, No AA, etc.). Disable Antivirus, Software Firewall, everything while running 3dmarks. You want it clean while running.

You should hit 10 000 with all default settings. Disable anything that is running in the background and try again.

wut exactly do u mean by tweaking the driveR? and how can i go about overclocking i heard that the abit has a great cooling system and is really great for overclcoking

I think your score is great, you may need to go back to school though.

thanks... i was readin stuff about overclocking--- -the default clock speed is 250 and the default memory speed is 500--- i OC'D it to 280 and 550...ran 3dmark and got 9162....not that big of a difference...and dont wanna hurt the card...so i put the clock back so now its at 265 and 525

i get 8950 on 3dmark w/ default settings and all programs off

wut u think?

I think your scores are fine. They're a durn site better than my 4500, heh. What's more important is how do your games play on your new card, especially compared to your old one?

 

[KillaBong]

They should be higher... with a 1.4 athlon, 256mb ddr, and ti4600 i got 12500. With my 2.4 athlon, 512mb ddr, and ti4600 i get 15500.

 

[niwi7]

how is that possible?

must be the card

 

[BenSkywalker]

What drivers are you using?

 

[JammingJay]

Your scores are fine, they are just about right in tune with the average for your setup.
