I'm not sure if I'm getting the most out of my rig, I don't want to overclock and am wondering if my 3Dmark 2001 scores and Aquamark3 scores are on par with what could be expected.
3dmark 2001 - 12501
Aquamark3 - 29777
I have a 2700XP chip running dual channel Ram (2x512 3200 kingston) underclocked to 166Mhz on a A7N8X Deluxe MoBo with the latest drivers from Nvidia, cat 4.2 Video drivers for my ATI 9600XT card (which are quickest, 3.8, 3.9, 4.1 ?) and the latest Bios. I have a WD 8m 120gig drive Liteon burner etc.
I go to the Aquamark3 site and find my scores are like on page 12,000. What gives ? People with smaller chips and Ti4200's are whooping my arse here, I know folks O/C but thats way way out there.
Thanks in advance folks, I guess i just want to know if it's reasonable, but if people with the same rig I have are pulling 35 to 40,000 then I want to know what I'm doing wrong.
