seems low? 3850 3dmark05 (default settings, high quality in forceware)

[xtknight]

3DMark05 score: 3850

Does this seem a bit low? This is Computer 2 in my sig. I haven't optimized Windows XP much yet, but I still think this is a little low . My CPU is at 2440 MHz and my 6800NU PCIe is at 444/840 (effective). At times I was getting 1 or 2 fps, at the last two tests, which were running at 640x480 according to my LCD. Oh, and I'm using ForceWare 67.66 beta.

Sounds good to me for that card.

Hmm, weird how an X800 Pro can get 6,000+ 3DMark05s. I didn't know my card was that bad...:disgust:

Way higher core and memory clocks than stock is the answer. A stock X800pro wouldn't get anywhere near 6K. Stock is what, 475/900? Some of those guys had 600+/1200+ clocks.

You could also try different drivers. You'd be surprised how much your score can change.

I wouldn't worry about 3Dmark05 anyway, I'd worry about how well it does in games.

Oh, okay...thanks

It does seem a bit low, you should be in high 9K-10Kish. Install your motherboard drivers? The 1-2 fps was the cpu tests, its normal, ummm try using the official 66.93 off nvidia's website, one thing I hate about my nvidia card is that there are so many damn drivers, hoppe that helps.

EDIT: What I stated above about the high 9K to 10K thing was on the regular AGP cards, I have no clue how the PCI-e cards perform.

What? That's insane. Are you sure you're talking about 3Dmark05? An FX-55/SLI 6800 Ultra rig can barely top 10,000.

That score seems right to me. The 6000+ scores X800 Pro's are probably vmodded and Oced to hell as well as pipe modded. Why don't you try modding your NU to open up the extra 4 pipes and vertex shader to get more caparable scores with a 6800 GT atleast.?

Yea well I scored a 2720 in 3dmark03!!!! Argh how do you think that makes me feel?

(Oh and...312 in '05)

I got a 7 in 3DMark03. I'll get a screenshot of it later and I'll make another post.
