Low 3dmark on a 1.4 GF3

[SpeedTrap]

I just got my AMD up and running and i got a 4167 on 3d mark. somethings not right since i got a 4600+ on my 933

I have a Geforce 3 and a AMD @ 1466. what could be wrong?

 

[Boonesmi]

did you run both tests (athlon & pent) with the save version of 3dmark? there is a big dif in scores with dif versions

 

[SpeedTrap]

same version, i only downloaded one and then backed it up , been using the same one for months

Are you sure FSAA is disabled? Also do you have the latest via 4-in-1's?

 

[SpeedTrap]

well as far as i know i have the AMD 760 chip and have installed the 760 drivers.

but i dont use any via hardware since my hd is run off a promise card. and i have no conflicts

I imagine both the versions of the nvidia drivers you are using are the same. Your score is pretty abysmal, considering I scored a 5300 on my thunderbird at 1000 mhz with SDRAM, and score well above 6000 with my palomino 1400 mhz with DDR.

Which OS are you running? You have 4x AGP set? You have aggressive memory timings (not the default), and is your video card clocked the same?

Maybe you're running at a different resolution than with the 933 Mhz setup. Try checking the program's settings (if they are at default).

nope the settings are the same 1024x768x32

and AGP 4x is set
i set memory at 8,8,8,2,2,2,2

and the card is not oced and im running 12.90 dets.


wondering if its the Motherboard cause a friends got the same and his pro was in the low 3300's

and i am running it at 1.5 ghz now and it seems to slowed it down more i got 4111

and its w98 se

what motherboard?

I am guessing that there is an extremely high probability that you have 'Force antialiasing in D3D' enabled and the default FSAA set to 2x2 in your drivers ... the low-4k score is consistent w/ this setting (assuming 3DMark2k1, that is). Grab a tweaker and make sure you don't have these values set in the registry.

cheers.

well i went back to the drivers and hit default in all the settings, and I actually am getting 6300+ now, so all i can say is hehe
