Managed to squeeze out 6K with this setup finally. I finally found 2X512 of ram that does 230 fsb+ on an Nforce2 board. I refuse to go back to 2X256, even if it gives me another thousand points in 3dmark.
ATI 9800 PRO default settings on CAT 4.9
AMD 3800+
MSI K8T NEO2
2 x 512 MB Corsair 3200
XP SP2
1024x768x32 at 75Hz
HS & VS target = 2.0
non-oc'd stock default on mobo no tweaking
A piddly 2477
I think I'll turn everything down and see if I can at least bump past Shorty.
started at 2498, then got to 2517 no oc'ing. Then with a little tweaking on card 2689. Then even more tweaking on video after adding cpu heatsink on it
(p.s. Any ideas how to get a higher score running: 2500+ @ 2GHz, 1.5GB ram 3-3-3-11, 160GB sata, 9800 pro @ 440/380.)
Is something wrong here? Didn't someone here already hit 2200 something with a 9500?? I'm using a 9700 Pro and...
/me sobs... :bawling:
oi think thats me with my sad 2034. But thats with everything turned way up. I think my cpu was around 2500ish and video card @ 342core and 312mem. I'm sure you could break 2100 with some tweaking. As for me I gave up on teh tweaking 2000 2100 blagh still depressing :bawling:
Dunno about you but I'm deff looking into a new card.
Maybe there was something not set right... That does seem very low considering the 64bit and the 9600 card. My 2.0 Pentium M Lappy was close to 1500...
Still thats a pretty nice notebook.

Does your notebook have CPU throttling turned on in the BIOS? If yes, that would account for the disappointing score. When you run benchmarks, does the CPU cooler fan kick on? If it doesn't, it probably means that your CPU is throttled.

I'll have to check on that. I know that it throttles down to 800MHz on battery, no matter what I do. I don't know if it throttles the CPU when it's plugged in... Maybe I accidentally didn't have it plugged in?

what are your specs, are you overclocking? cause i think we have similar specs but i can only hit 2.7k

For the processor you have you should definitely upgrade that video card...
stubs, do u by chance visit the forums @ di.fm?
Upgrade? Crap...I can't keep up sometimes. Sure....I'll go buy a 6800 or the XT and then the 7000 will come out or the XXT or the BFVC one million.
