Pathetic Mark scores...

[FluxCap]

I just ran 3dMark2001se and here are the results:

6550 with cat 3.1 at 1467mhz
6659 with cat 3.2 at 1467mhz
6876 with cat 3.2 at 1733mhz

With my specs below is this normal? Is it really going to be this sad? I want to reach around 10k? What can I do?

What are the specs of your system? Just as a comparison, I have a Kt400 with a 2600+ and a 64MB Ti4200, and I score about 12,000.......

Edit....I just saw your link....yeah, your score seems really low for that system of yours......

If you haven't already, you might want to try totally uninstalling the vcard drivers and then reinstlaling them. That fixed my comp when ti was having the same problem.

You're score is so low because of the RADEON 9000. It's only half as fast as a retail RADEON 8500 in multi-texturing games (which most are) as the 8500 has 2 texture unit per pixel pipeline as opposed to only 1 on the RADEON 9000.

If you had an 8500 or higher you'd score much, much higher.

What do you think my score would go up to with a Ti4200 (500mhz version) ram?

 

[damonpip]

You can get the ti4200 to get atleast 11000.

 

[FluxCap]

The Ti4200 with my current other gear would get that???

 

[MrEgo]

Yeah, it would. A system that I built for a friend got ~11,800 with an Athlon XP 2100+(not oc'ed), 512MB PC2700 DDR, Radeon 9500 Pro 128MB.

Excellent

My
Asus A7N8X Deluxe
XP+ 1600
256 mb DDR 2100
Radeon 9700 Pro

Only pulls 8000 with Cat 3.2 so i wouldnt worry to much!

 

[damonpip]

moonshinemadness, I think yu're comp is having serious problems:Q

 

[Shimmishim]

yup i can get 13.6K with 2001se with my ti4200 @ 300/530

seems like nvidia does a decent job with driver updates...

i went from one driver to another and my score jumped up 1000 points... it was CRAZY
