Here's my system specs:
-T-bird 900 not overclocked
-Abit K-T7 Raid board
-192 meg pc-100
-7200 40 gig drive on ATA 100
-Hercules Geforce DDR_DVI not overclocked
-Using Direct X 8
-Win 98
-Currently VIA 4 in 1 version 4.25 (I believe)
-Currently Detonator 6.47
My scores seem a bit low. In 3dmark 2000 when running default 1024x768 at 16 bit I get 4990 (never above 5000). When I set it to 32 bit I get 3950 (never above 4000). That seems quite paltry compared to other peoples scores. Also, I see people post scores for 3dmark, but I never see them tell what resolution/depth their using. What is the standard that everyone uses to compare?
Now in Quake 3 I think the scores are also low. At 1024x768 with every setting set to max I get 67fps. At 640x480 with everything max I get 93fps. With every option set at its lowest running at 640x480 I only get 96fps. Thats the most I can get period. Even the lowest res (320x256 I think) won't go above this. I need opinions here.
I've tried most of the detonator drivers from 3.31 up to 6.47 (nothing above yet). I've got my agp card set for 4x and it's enabled. I used to be running direct x 7 and then 7.1a I think. All of these variations seem to offer no real difference. In fact, everytime we get an update in drivers, my performance stays basically the same. I've even done complete wipes of my hard drive and started with completely fresh installs, but still same results. I've made sure that v-sync is off, I've fiddled with other settings with limited results. I must be missing something. What could it be? Also is there any way to verify a Thunderbird processor to make sure it is the speed that you bought. I would hate to find out that I am running an overclocked processor.
