I have an AMD 1700xp, 256k ddr ram and a gainward ti4600 video card. I ran the 3dmark benchmark and scored a 7300. Am I wrong or is that a pretty low score for this card? If it is a low score what could be the problem? Any help is greatly appreciated.

I know what the problem is .... heheheh ..... you don't have enough RAM

"256k ddr ram "

Ummmm seriously.

1) What drivers are you using?
2) BIOS version?
3) Latest motherboard drivers?

that is real low for that rig, but a respectable score.

I get 8000 with a 8500LE, Athlon Tbird 1.33ghz, and 256meg DDR.

Like Mem said, make sure in advanced display properties fsaa is turned off. That could hurt your score a fair bit.

You could also try reinstalling the 29.42 drivers,there was another thread where another guy had a low score with his GF card & reinstalling the drivers solved his problem and increased his score back to normal.
