So, I just bought a 6800 Ultra.....

[warcrow]

UPDATE!

Ok guys, I reinstalled the refference drivers, upgraded from 9.0b to 9.0c, and reinstalled my chipset drivers. My new score is 11503

Anyone with a simular config getting the same?

Also, I ran a timedemo in Doom 3 and got the following:

1024x768x32
high detail
59 fps

1280x1024
high detail
48fps


The odd thing about running the timedemo, is that the first time through it I scored a 48.2 on the first test. There was some pauses when pulling the flashlight out. But, when I reran the test immediately my score increased by 10 fps. There was no more studdering, so it seemed the textures were already cached. I woner how the tests are run via anandtech/hardocp and co. Hrm.

Anyways, what do you guys think? Sound about right?

2800XP
1GB PC2700 (Dual Channel)
gForce 6800 Ultra (61.77)

My 3Dmark is 8157. Does this sound about right for my CPU speed? With my 9700PRO with the same CPU and RAM, I got 4898. Any tweaks or suggestions to improve performance is appreciated.

thats way low. my gt hits 12.7k. motherboard agp drivers installed?

 

[warcrow]

maybe I should reinstall the nvidia chipset drivers?

 

[Manzelle]

I'd update DirectX also...9.0c is out...

 

[Rage187]

Thats low seeing how I hit 9978 w/ a 2600xp and a gt.

 

[warcrow]

9.0c is installed. lemme bench..

 

[Manzelle]

Your 4x AGP may have something to do with it also but I'm not sure...

Do you have FSAA enabled or something? Seems to me that if it's disabled, which is what I think is normally the default, your scores should be much higher.

Disregard the first run as the level loads into memory for the first time.

 

[warcrow]

Wait, I just looked in the "advanced options" and it looks like "Trilinear optimization" and "Ansiotropic optimization" are both set to "on". Is this my problem?

 

[GeneralGrievous]

11508 is about right for a 6800 U with your CPU. Other sites show 12-12.5k but they have faster RAM and processing power. A slow CPU especially hurts the first test.

 

[nippyjun]

Your scores are fine for the system that you have.

 

[warcrow]

Hm, I think the scores are a little low in D3. But, the weird thing is, 3Dmark03 crashes soemtimes when I'm benching.

 

[vshah]

the 11k score sounds about right...your cpu is limiting you here
