I have a Gainward GeForce4 4200 Golden Sample. My system specs are: Abit AT7 Mobo, AMD Athlon 1700 XP, 256 meg of PC2700 ram, Windows XP Pro. All drivers are up to date. I just got the mobo, proc and vid. I was doing some benchmarking and scores weren't coming up to what I had expected. Using Quake 3 with 1.32 patch and Demo 4 I get 145-155 when using the High Quality settings at 1024X768. Using UT2003 Demo (Patched) and antalus flyby I get 120-125 at 800X600. Do these scores seem right? I was expecting a little higher in Quake3. Anyway, Please advise.
Thanks.

Hmmm.... I get ~140 in flyby antalus. I've got a Ti4200 and a P4 2.4B. Now how do you tell what res this is at? I run the game at 1280x1024, so is that what it benchmarks at?

...And all the King's horses and all the King's men couldn't put my computer back together again...

Yes, if you just double click on the file that says flyby-'map'.bat it will run the benchmark at the resolution you have set up to play the game. If you go to the system folder and run the benchmark.exe file you can select the resolution and it will run all maps in both modes. Takes a few minutes though. It will record the results in the benchmark log in the benchmark folder.

I tested 3dMark2001 last night. I came up with around 7500 for 1024x768x32. Is this a desent score? I went back and looked at the initial article on Tom's about the 4200 using an Athlon 2000 XP and the scores were in the 8800 range. The quake 3 scores for the 2000 proc were right at 200 for demo1. My scores are about 165-170. That sounding right? Anyway, some of you with a simular setup post some scores for me :).

Thanks

Nevermind. I had FSAA and anti-aliasing on in the hardware settings. I set that to none and got 8700+ in 3DMark se at 1024x768x32.

about 9950 at stock speeds with gainward ti4200 64MB (memory speed is 515 by default), XP1800+, PC2700, MSI KT333. 40.something detonators.
can get over 12000 if i up my fsb to 150 and my card to 306/594.
