Radeon 8500DV LOW BENCH MARKS?

[drvtec]

HI, i have a P4 1.5G with 256M PC2700 DDR, with Radeon 8500DV and have a somewhat low bench mark for MAD Onion 2001, its just over 6000-6300points when I have found Comprable systems on Mad onion. that turn in better bench marks, (P4 1.5 256m 8500DV) and the scores are up in the 8000-8500 range. Whats the DEAL?? do i have some settings wrong or something??

The processor and graphics card is probably overclocked. For a 1.5Ghz P4, 6x00 is a reasonable score.

The processor and/or memory are bottlenecking the graphics card. That's about the same speed my GF3 Ti200 gets with the same processor and memory (though mine is RDRAM).

8500?...i have a P4 2A and an R8500 and i get about 8800...
i think AMD_Man is right...those peps are probably overclocking their cards....
