Ok, my rig isnt the greatest but it is still pretty bad ass. Check out its stats with the link in my sig. I am running 3DMark01 SE and I get pathetic scores! I scored a 11,782! What is up with that? Shouldnt I be getting around 15000's??? My 3DMark03 score is about 5563. What can I do to boost my score? Any input would be appreciated. Thanks

Try going into your video settings and turning everything off like Vsync AA and AF I use to get almost 14000 with my old P4 at 2.3 115 fsb and a Radeon 9700 Pro.

I always benched my rig with as little stress on it as possible LOW settings bascially.

I dunno how that "Braton" is treatin ya, but I had a similar problem. Omega's drivers fixed it nicely :)!'

But i do know that they didn't fix it all since my scores is still 2,000 below what THG acheived on their similarly configed benchmark.

lol, ok fixed the "Braton" typo.

Guess what I ran it again and it gave me 16,669 score now! Thats a much better improvement.

How does that stack up to other peoples rigs?
