Hi Guys not sure if there something in my system slowing me down. Yeah I know about the CPU bottle neck. But anyway I have a Pentium 4 3.0 gig northwood overclocked to 3.3 gig, 1 gig of corsair ddr 400, and 2 maxtor 120 gig drives in raid o.
Anyway with the X800 Pro set at default settings ie Balanced I get 8700 3d marks. At Performance setting I get around 8983 3d marks.
When comparing them with others I see a lot of people getting over 10,000 using 3.4 gig intels or even 3.2. but I assuming they overclocking the card, which I am not.
I did get a 8700 3d mark at 3.0 gig on the northwood.
My games are all running fine at 4x AA 16x AA like tiger woods pga tour 2004 at 1280x1024 resolution and that game puts a lot of pressure on the card with all the outdoor landscaping.
So just some thoughts on those scores is there anything that might be slowing me down compared to others scores? For complete system specs look below.
P.S. maybe I should try overclocking the card? Where can i get a good overclocking utility for the x800?
