Im getting better than that with an XP 2000 (FSB 266) and a 9500 pro, 512Mb
Ram, 128Mb video Ram. Havent looked for a while at benchmarking but having said that, mine was around 11,500 - 12,000, with the 9500 core/mem clocks at 320, 310, and the pipeline unlock mod applied. Im not sure whether a 9500 pro is actually quicker than a 9600 pro (I think they are similar), but I remember getting just under the speeds you are seeing until I seriously o'ced the graphics card. HTH As an aside: I only do benchmarking when I am thinking about upgrading, to put some of the results of newer cards in some kind of perspective with what I have got. If games are running fine then you usually have nothing to worry about, unless you like solving non-problems of your own making, and like ATI Marketing to do your thinking for you... big wink At the moment, I'm seeing results from newer cards that just do not justify upgrading, inless you have a big fat 21 inch screen that needs silly resolutions. I can play less intensive games (such as homeworld 2) well at 1600x1200 and more intensive ones (unreal 2/IL2) at 1024x768, and usually 1280x1024, which is fine for my 19 inch iiyama. I suppose what I am saying is try the o'c, but remember its a freebie - don't be too worried with your system if you cant get the numbers you are after, its not that important! I'm using powerstrip for my o'cing, and had to flash the card ROM to unlock increased clocks and unhide the additional pipelines (we're talking 9500 here, I dont think the 9600 has the additional pipelines, but has greater ability to handle higher clock rates because of the reduced die size and resulting smaller power consumption) S "Phil" wrote in message .. .

Question is: Is increasing your 3mark score worth upgrading?
How does the system 'bench' in your actual use of the machine?

Are you running the FSB and DRAM asynchronous? You should try running it 1:1. My system's a little overclocked, I have an XP 2500+ @ 2200 MHz / MSI K7N2-L non Delta / ATI 9600 Pro @ 450/650 MHz /512 Mb PC2700 (I guess you mean you have PC2100, DDR266 Memory) I get ~3600 3dMark03, and 12,100 in 3dMark01. -- pining for the fjords, Steve [Inglo] |

That score sounds right, for your system.

I got just under 10,000 with my Ti4200... he should be a little bit
better than that... 11~12K. On Sat, 20 Dec 2003 02:18:08 -0500, "Phil" wrote: That score sounds right, for your system. "Coaster" wrote in message .. .

FSB is 333 and ram is 266. Will it make a difference is score to change ram? Thanks for your info Rod I can't relate to 3D Mark 2001 as it is no longer on my system, but I can compare to 2003. My system : Asus A7N8X Deluxe version 2.0 XP 2600 Barton Core ( overclocked to 2.167 ghz) ATI 9700 Pro 1 gb pc3200 ddr ram ( Corsair LL matched pair) My 3D Mark 2003 score - app 5350 If your system is stable, I would doubt it would be the memory holding you back. Check your 3d settings - make sure it is set to perfomance, no aa or as ( application preference), Vsynch set to off. Also, I have always heard it is better to run the ram at the same speed as the fsb. Is your barton locked? Most newer ones are , however if you have had it a little while it most likely is not. If not, perhaps you can lower the fsb to match the ram speed, and raise the multiplier for your cpu if your motherboard allows this? Might be worth trying to compair the performance difference, IF you are comfortable changing those settings. Or, if your really lucky, perhaps your ram will tolerate running at synch with the current fsb ( 333). Some good quality ram will, it's a hit or miss. -- Don Burnette |

One question....how do you set v-sync to anything.....I cannot find the
setting option anywhere. Andy |

You will see a slider bar to the right of vertical synch, slide it all the way to the left to turn it off. -- Don Burnette |
