These things are always gas.
Everyone posts these amazing results, but forgets to mention the details. Like what driver version, whether the machine was overclocked, what OS, what res, what colour depth, what settings were enabled....etc.
All this stuff adds up.

Right. 12.41 det4, GF256 32meg SDR, P3 800 100FSB, AOpen AX6BC intel 440BX chipset, 128 Apacer CAS2 Ram 100 FSB, Win98SE, 640x480x16bpps, triple buffering, no FSSA, 'blend' mip-map mode, VSync enabled (like it would make a difference at 40fps).
Result after one running was in the region of 2800. Nothing was overclocked. i have seriously puney fans in my machine.
I don't think you'll get nuch more then that. Maybe in the 300-3100 region. That isa SDR card right?

Syx ure rite soz:

operating system: Win98 SE
Processor: AMD Duron(tm) @ 758MHz
Graphics Card:
3D Prophet II MX PCI(12.40 drivers)
Total Physical Memory: 192MB
Free Physical Memory: 36.93MB
Motherboard Manufacturer: ChainTech
Motherboard Model: 8363-686A


You sure u ran that test with 3dmark 2001 rather then 2000, the results are very different.

JustHalf

3DMark 2001 on Windows 2000 Professional SP1
Default Benchmark
Athlon 1GHz @ 1.33GHz (133 FSB)
Abit KT7A-RAID motherboard
256Mb PC133 crappy ram (tweaked as high as it would go)
GeForce 2 GTS (lend) - 32Mb RAM (200MHz core / 333MHz memory)
Direct3D settings at highest quality settings
3362 3DMarks

Now, all I have to do is decide to go for a GeForce 2 Pro and a 19" Trinitron or a GeForce 3 and remain in fishbowl land!

Vincent

Win2k Professional sp2
P3-700@952mhz
256mb cruical cas2 ram
Abit bx-raid 133
20gig maxtor (i think it's 7200rpm not sure)
Hurcules Geforcemx 175/183 @ 200/205

I get 2522 on default settings (1024x768x32) and i haven't touched any direct3d settings.

Could do with a new gfx card, but since i only play quakeworld 90% of the time it doesn't really matter

GenX

Im gonna cry!! I just ran 3dMark and i got a losy 1700 thats **** and i know it, that was running it in 1024x768x32bit!

How can i knock it up? ne web sites or programes or ne ideas?

GenX

ADO

i got ..

Pentium 3
1000mhz
Geforce 2MX 400
256Ram pc 133mhz

and i only gett over 3000 on 3DMark2001...

One thing I notice with 3DMark is taht you need a fair bit of ram to really make things go.
Also, Justhalf, go for the 19" monitor.
it'll las tyou longer then any graphics card. Well, that is unless those lads release those really cheap plastic TFT displays. Mmmmmmmmm. Damn all power usage too. But still a pipedream.

JustHalf

Haha! I'm getting *both*!

19" Sony Trinitron + GeForce 3 (Asus V8200 GeForce3 Deluxe (AGP) - Retail :: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/Online_Catalogue_Graphics_Cards_57.html)

Oh yeah!

hmmm, i got 2100 with pIII700, 256mg ram,
and a hercules kyro II prophet 4500

and i think thats a bit cack!

must overhaul my system someday

JustHalf

That's pretty crappy Stone! I've seen GTS' pull in over 9k on a similar system. Is there much of a change from when you had the GTS in there?

superfly

ha well i can underscore all them
on a PIII 500mhz
voodoo 3 3000 graphics card
256mb
i got a benchmark of 1022
ha! beat that

JustHalf

Mind telling me where you got DirectX 8.1?

logic1

Abit kt7a
256 megs crucial pc133
Duron 800@1000(133mhz fsb)
Win2k SP2
Radeon 64meg DDR VIVO (latest betas)
VIA 4.32's
1024x768x32

Only pulling down 4015 in 3dMark2000 (haven't got 2001 yet)
Seems pretty crap actually. Must get powerstrip and clock up the card a bit.

.logic.

TacT

I got it here Just don't tell anybody mmmkay

http://www.abitboy.com/files.htm#DirectX%208.1_682

Forgot too mention, custom refresh rate for directx8.1 is at 40 for the benchmark

No over clock on anything

Win98 SE.
Directx 8.1.
PIII 1.0ghz.
256mb pc133 cas 2 ram.
10.2gig fujitsu 7200rpm hdd using udma 66.
Geforce 2 GTS Pro/ Hercules 3d prophet 64mb ram, @ 200 core & 401 memory.
Gateway2000 Vivitron 15, 15" monitor.
Via Apollo Pro 693A/VT82C693A
Award bios 4.51jpg
Using detonator 14.70 beta and latest 4-in-1's from via 4-in-1432v.

with 3dmark 2001 at 1024x768 @75hz refresh rate, v-sync disabled, no FSAA I get a total of 3485 marks. with default direct3d settings.

Stonemason

My GTS gave me about 5700(3dmark2000) not clocked(overclocked 7500ish)it wouldnt run in 2001. 1ghz chip is running at that speed rather than 1.2 and i havenet cranked up the slider bars in harware settings in fairness ive let my system go abit since starting the bussines due to being quite sick of tinker by the end of the day my bios hansnt even been updated not to mention my hdd being built about the time man first took to the skys.That said now i have a Gf3 im tempted to get the damned thing soughted .BTW slid the slider bar up tonight only took it to 245mhz by 565mhz windows looked nice and solid but tried to run 3dmark 2001 and it just black screened it.I will overclock every thing in to mins and see what happens.

Heh...erm ye lads need to use enter yer BIOS and then use powerstrip or similiar !

PIII 1gig
256PC Cas3 PC133 Hyundai
GeForce II Ultra 64DDR 333mhz
9gb LVD (Os drive) + IBM's 75 + 40 + 40' ATA100's
815e chipset

I get 8322 without o/c'ing the Card... O/c'ing I hit just under 10k....

Get into yer BIOS/D3D settings mateys!

Not on 3dMark 2001 ya don't....

That score seems a little high, perhaps I'm just forgetting that 3dmark scores higher on win9x than on win2k, 2001 seems to be more in favour of win2k.

I upped the io voltage on my machine, this has the added effect of increasing the voltage going to the ram on my gf2 gts. So it is now getting 3.6v . This makes a tremendous difference, I am now able to clock the ram to 380, and the core to 260. I still only get 6200 3dmarks in 3dmark 2000.
Machine is a p3 600e @ 960 @ 160 fsb, on an abit be6-2 rev2 i440bx board. Only 128 megs of ram at the minute until my crucial arrives.

Seems a little low, but I haven't got directx 8 yet. Might try new graphics drivers as well.
