Why only 1780 on 3DMark05

[phantom404]

I dont understand why im only getting a 1780 in 3DMark05 on my 9800 Pro.

Here are my specs...

All test are selected
Settings are 1024x768 res
2 sample aa
Optimal Filtering
Both HLSL are 2_0
Fixed Framerate is Off
Each test is set to run once

9800 pro oc to 400/350 core R350 via Rage 3D Tweak.

AMD 64 3000+ oc to 2.4gz

Farcry, Doom3, MoHPA are set to highest settings and run smooth. Could it be an error in 3DMark???

That's probably why right there.

I also barely break 4300 on my 6800GT @ Ultra speeds, so your score seems reasonable, I think.

That's definately it.

I got about 2300 or 2500 marks on my 9800 Pro in 3dmark 05 - 1700 seems right with AA on (even if it's only puny 2xAA - AA KILLS performance in 3dmark 05).

Now with my X800 Pro I get ~4500 stock and ~5k marks overclocked.


Synthdude - if you get newer drivers for your 6800GT you should be breaking the 5k barrier - there was some revision (like 66.93 or something) where Nvidia cards got a huge boost in 3dmark05.

'05 eats your video card. It sounds like the normal score of a 9800pro (I have one myself)

and since your games runs fine there's really no reason to complain

You're probably right...I'm not even sure if I'm remembering the right score, because I ran it a few times the day or two after it came out, and that's it.

if you want a 'true score' you must disable AA/AF when running 3dmark.

Great, Thanks guys!!! At what resolution is the standard for running the test?

I agree, he should be getting much more than my r9600 xt which scores 1538, r9700pro which scores 2003 and we will not mention that my fx5900xt gets a pathetic score of 1001!

Ran it again with aa off and got close to the same score...then realized the ATI control center had 4x aa turned on for all programs...switched it to application decides and ran 3dmark again and got a score of 2445 Thanks guys
