Iwas trying to compare my performance to other computers,but on Mad Onion's website it dosen't give you all the system specs or if it is overclocked etc.So i really have no real way to fully compare.all posts would be appreciated.
thanks in advance rick

That's a darn good score. On my first system, a Dell (I was young and impressionable), I managed to get a 5200. For some reason (FSB?!), your processor just killed mine, but mine is an 850 MHz (Not overclocked - damn OEM's). My graphics card on that system is a Geforce 256, and yours is a GTS/Pro, both 32MB. I would say that your score is really good.

Anyone know why my the 3dMark test just shuts down partway through on me? It doesnt cause any problems, just shuts right the hell down :eek:) err ;(... it worked fine on my PIII 450, but this is an AMD KT7A-Raid set up... should I slow my processor down? It doesnt have any problems usually 850 @ 980.....

I havnt even overclocked the RAdeon yet, and i got it up to 190 or so on my PIII 450... new drivers installed and everything

IF your running W2K have you done the microsoft update for amd with geforce card yet? if not W2K then you may need to back off the overclock a little for stability or try upping the I/O voltage to see if it helps stabilize things. just a few things to try.

wusy, your a friggin genius :) it has to do with stability or something... the 3dmark tester is EXTREMELY sensitive when it comes to oc'ing... so I have to back it off a bit for it.. thakns bro

It was a Duron 600@950 with a GeForce2 GTS 64MB and I got at score of about 6500. Then I got a GeForce2 Ultra 64MB (for free :smile: ) and my score upped to 7100. Then I upped my FSB to 105 to get my Duron up to 1GHz and now my score is around 7500-7600.

But I must say, the increased FSB is making my computer a bit unstable even with the voltage increased. Also, I was very disappointed with the GF2U. It really didn't do all that much for my score in my opinion and all my games don't look a bit different than they did with the GF2 GTS. In my opinion, the GF2U is not worth the money. For those of you wonder, my advice would be to save some bucks and just get the GF2 GTS.

And what really frosts my cookies is that when I compare my scores to others on Madonion with a Duron at 1GHz and the GF2U, they all have scores in the 8000's and 9000's. I really don't know what they are doing that I am not. Maybe its the OS (I'm using WinMe) and maybe I have too many programs running in the background (mouse software, soundblaster liveware, and blackice defender).
I just don't know. But since I don't notice a difference in gameplay, I don't see the need for such a card. Its just for bragging rights when comparing benchmarks and apparently I have lost.
All I care about is that I can clearly see you in my sniper scope in Unreal Tournament.

The Ultra's really shine at higher resolutions. I would just like to be able to play at 1280x1024 but since I only have a 15" monitor I have stuck with my Geforce256 card. An Ultra and a big monitor would be great but they will have to wait.

Have you considered moving up to a Tbird. Seems Tbirds get about 1500-2000 more points in 3D Mark 2000 than their Duron counterparts do using the same class video card. Must be the larger cache that does it.
 
mad onion has a page with tweeks for your card to get higher scores. like turning off fsaa, turning off v-sync,use page flipping for open gl,overclocking, etc. so check it out you might get higher score. dont know what tweeks your running now......

Yes, I have considered a T-Bird. Now all I need to know which one of you is going to give me the money to buy it. Not just one person needs to send me money, you all can if you want. You can take up a collection, have a fund-raiser, or even a telethon. I don't care how you get me the money, just get it here.
Thanks.

Actually I haven't tweaked at all, and CPU speed doesn't really have a big impact on 3Dmark scores.

On my P4 and o/c gf2 (250/370) ,i got:

640x480 x 16 :8347 3dmarks
1024x768 x 16 :7279 "

according to the official ratings anything over 7001 and NOT 7000 (j/k) is insanely fast. I am sure ppl get better than over though. The weird thing is that i compared the two and i think gamespy in teh background didn't help the 640 x 480 one as it was worse in some framerates...

Well if you hadn't read my "Dumbass" post you would see I got a 6985, but I'm running Win2k and I've seen scores dip 40% by switching to Win2k from WinME/9x
