Radeon 8500 - Low 3dmark2k1

Heifetz · Jun 5, 2002

I just put together a new rig, BG7 with a 1.6A and 8500 Radeon LE clocked at 275/300. I ran 3dMark2k1, and got a score of 8300, compared to the score of 9500 average for the radeon on 3dmark's website. Why the difference of 1200?!?

BG7 with a 1.6A

What are your FSB and memory settings?

What ATi driver are you using?

That score seems right to me. It's all about tweaking to get the best 3DMark scores.

On my Asus P4S533 w/P4 1.6a @2400Mhz and Radeon 8500 @310/310, I'm scoring 10,657 in 3DMark2k1se

Tates did you change any settings? The only thing I changed was to clock it to 275/300. I'm running at 150FSB, 4:5 mem ratio btw.
