3dMark03 Scores

[Mr5oh]

I downloaded the free version of 3DMark03 today. Here is my setup:

2800+ AMD XP
1 gig PC3200/ Dual Channel Enabled
128 MB TI-4600
Running Windows XP Pro SP1

My machine scored a whopping 1763 :frown: , am I wrong or is this score extremely low?

You have a DX 8 vid card. Getting a DX 9 Card would get you much higher scores. Other than that, you seem to have a decent system that would enable you to get much higher.

Even if you purchased an ATI Radeon 9600 or comparable video card, you should expect scores of 5000+ in 3dMark03 build 340.

Your right on with the Ti4600 being DX8 and slow in 3dmark03 (doesn't run nature for one thing). Low 3dmark03 scores had loads of GF4Ti owners puzzled/mad back when the benchie came out.

But a R9600 series card isn't going to hit 5000 in 3dmark03. R9700 pro, or 9800 non pro will, but I doubt an OC'ed 9600XT could hit 5K, never mind the rest of the 9600 series. 3K-4K is more like it, and a little over if OC'ed.

That explains it. Still trying to hold out on upgrading the video card a little longer. I still get good gaming performance, so I won't worry about it.

On a side note, just for laughs I tried running it on my laptop:

AMD 3000+ 64-bit
512 MB RAM (PC2600, I believe)
GeForce4 420 Go (32 MB dedicated)

It could only run one test, and scored 203. :lol: Oh well, can't expect much from a laptop I guess.

In DX9 games, the Ti4200 (lesser than Ti4600) will often offer greater rendering speed than the 9600 Pro, simply because it doesn't even TRY to render DX9 features. Of course you get speed at the cost of features.

a 9600xt couldnt hit 5000 in 3dmark03.. i have mine at 560/320 and only get 4200.. even a o'c 9500pro can only get like 4800.. or sumting.. so only the 9800 or 9700 can get over 5000. unless u have some crazy mod

 

[sweatlaserxp]

That's about right for a Ti4x00 card. Mine used to score 1450, I believe.

 

[blackphoenix77]

I scored 1200 with a 5200nu and 1000 with a 9200np. I think they both had 128-bit memory.

Yeah, good point. They perform better in real life than their 3dmark03 scores would have you believe.

i had about 3300..

I scored 5314. Everything in my puter is stock save the HSF. Any ideas to boost mine??

3300 is very low for a R9800Pro. SHould be over 5K.

You should be getting around 5500 with a 9800 Pro. At least make sure that you don't have AA and AF turned on in your video drivers.

Cranked to the max on a 5700 ultra i get 5000 3dm03 and every day running 4500. Which is still overclocked to580/980. Go figure???

3D Mark scores are based on the performance of test ran, and the number of test completed. You could have GREAT performance on all the test you've completed, but not having the hardware to run the other test is going to cost you BIG points. Unlike 3D Mark, GAMES will simply turn off those features.

In REAL games, there's a performance penalty for enabling some DX9 rendering features (eye candy). You could turn them off manually with most games, but by default they'll be turned ON with a DX9 card and OFF with a DX8 card. That makes the DX9 card look slower than it really is, you pay a performance penalty for eye candy!

I have a Radeon 9800 np clocked at 400/650 and it scores about 5800

My setup is lised below. I had a Radeon 9600 Pro in here before and that scored a bit over 3000.

I have no reason to lie about such trivial things.

Question about becnhing with 3dmark. Is everybody using performance settings in their Nvidia driver? I use to bench with the highest quality put I managed to get 6900 when using Performance...

Asus P4P800DX, P4C 2.6ghz@3.25ghz, 2X512 OCZ PC4000 3-4-4-8, Leadtek FX5900 w/ FX5950U bios@500/1000, 2X30gig Raid0

 

[ChipDeath]

I bench with all the Texture/Filtering options in ATi's drivers set to highest quality. (no AA/AF though of course).

I get ~5900 - 6000 with my rig as it is in the sig, IIRC.

Just out of curiousity, has anyone benched one of the Sapphire 128-bit 9800Pro cards? I've been wondering for ages just how much of a performance hit the 128-bit RAM causes - I've looked about but haven't actually seen a side-by-side comparison anywhere..

I think I reached 6700 with my highest OC with highest quality filtering and minor artifact... With moderate OC on my vid card at performance I get 6900 easy... Thats why I asked. Not a bad score altogether considering I had something around 5000-5500 befor I formated/tweaked/flashed and OCed my card...

[Guest]

Me neither would be curious too. Probly worth the extra 40$(I think) sapphire asked to get an exchange...
