Pathetic or What?

I have a P4 2.66 with 768 MB PC2100 RAM. 128 MB Ti4200. Ran a benchmark test using 3dMark2003. My score was a whooping 948 and I am thoroughly confused.

I see people posting scores in excess of 18000+ and I am like .. WTF .. whats going on here .. am I trippin??

You got AA and AF turned on?
The Ti4200 isn't DX9 compatible... so it's not gonna give very good performance in a DX9 benchmark.
Also... you're testing with 3DMark 2003... and those 18,000+ scores are on 3DMark2001... HUGE difference that makes.

I have AA and AF turned off . .

okie .. i get the fact that the high scores were on 3DMark2001 .. so maybe i can download that one .. do u know where it might be available .. the 3DMark2001 that is .. hopefully i will get over 15000 .. have my fingers crossed ..

thanks

If you're not getting even 1000 in 2003, I doubt you'll get 15000 in 2001... to get 15,000 in 2001... you're gonna need probably an ATI 9700 or a GeForce4 Ti4600 overclocked... not to mention one helluva processor... such as a P4 2.5 or higher, or an Athlon XP above 2 Ghz.

Duh... just read the origional post... you probably have the CPU power to do it... but you're not gonna hit 15,000 with a Ti4200. Not to mention your PC2100 RAM holding you back... you might hit 15,000 if you set all the settings as low as they can go.

That's about what I'm getting on 2k3. My setup is a 1600+, 1Gb, Radeon 8500.
