Strange 3D Mark Scores (Radeon 8500)

[adamkmiec]

Very weird 3D Mark Scores

800x600 - 6494
1024x768 - 6670
1152x864 - 6882
1280x1024 - 6802

I would expect my scores to be higher at the lower resolutions, WTF?

For comparison purposes here are my 6015 scores:

800x600 - 7399
1024x768 - 6750
1152x864 - 6547
1280x1024 - 5901

And My 6052 Scores

800x600 - 8269
1024x768 - 7642
1152x864 - 7175
1280x1024 - 6817

All tests are done with 16 bit Z-Buffer, no AA, and 16 bit not 32 bit colors.

Ok, we'll need to know this info:

What 3D Mark version are you running.
What driver set for your Radeon. (In the first test)

And according to your System Rigs page, you are running an Athlon 1800+XP on Windows XP, correct? I take it you're not overclocking, right?

Fill us in on these questions and we should be able to help you a bit more.

And yes, I do think those seem a tad bit on the low side.

okee doke, the test scores from round 1 were on the 6043s. not over clocking anything. i'm more concerned with the fact my scores go up as the resolution goes goes up. I would have figured that the 800x600s resolution would yield the best score.
