only 1125 on 3dmark 03?

[svtour1]

Xp 2500+ mobile (2300mhz 200x11.5)
gf4 ti4200 64mb (279/594)
nf7-s
512mb mushkin pc3200(i had to rma the other 512, so waiting on that)

and i got an 1125 best. I have aa off too. I know my ti4200 isnt the greatest (plus i have a 9700pro coming) others got around 2000.

heh, and it said my agp was at 4x, even though i set it as 8x in the bios. and it said it was in the pci bus, which it isnt, does that matter?

and when i had dx8, i only got 8233 on 3dmark 2001

Yes only 1125 on 3DMark03 give or take a few. I remember benching a GF2 GTS on 3DMark03 back then and I ended up with some score under 300 points.

To put it bluntly DX9 hardware(e.g. Radeon 9700 Pro) is required to run a majority of 3DMark03's test. 3DMark01 SE would be better suited to test a Ti4200 than 3DMark03.

How do your games run?

a Ti4200 is a 4x AGP card so while you are able to raise the AGP setting to 8x on your motherboard your card will not do the same.

EDIT: I believe when I had 3DMark03 installed on my system my Radeon 9800 was listed under PCI also so I don't think it matters much.

Even if your card could run at 8x you think it'd make any difference ?

Either way you should be getting around 12000+ in 3d01 as my 1600+ with 4200 gets 10500 both stock

Not true. There are both agp 4x and 8x ti4200's. At any rate whether it is set at 4x or 8x, it won't make any difference as far as performance goes.

yea must've forgot,

only 8x agp card from the GF4 Ti line that came to mind was the Ti4800.

 

[otispunkmeyer]

i would say thats reasonable........i mean 3d mark 03 is not as cpu dependant as 01 and is more GPU oriented, you'll be dropping marks all the way down as the Ti cant run the 4 th game test nor the pixel and vertex shader 2.0 tests....also at 64 mb its 64mb short of the requirements for 03 🙁

but u dont play benchmarks now do u?.........if it plays games u like fine then it is fine

yea, the card says it is 8x

There are Ti4200's with 8X AGP... it's useless, but they're available.

Your score is normal. GeForce4's aren't capable of running DX9 code, and that's what 3DMark2003 tests. So, for the test to run it must be run in software mode, so your CPU is handling most of the stuff your GPU would normally do.

With my old Ti4200 @ 325/650 I scored about 14,500 in 2001 and about 2000 I believe in 2003... but I had a 128 MB model. Your 64 MB model will surely hurt you in newer games.
