Hey DJ
Awesome card ! Have you tried using the 3D mark 05 profile ? And set the performance tab to High Performance. I picked up a couple hundred points with those 2 tweaks.
i can't look it up right now - supposed to be "working" - but i'd guess that 3dM05 has some newer features that aren't affected by cpu clockspeed as much as video card abilities
Aquamark stresses the CPU more than the video card. You can still get some very good graphics cards for AGP. You just can't do SLI or get a 7800. The 6800GT or a high-end ATI will make a significant jump over the 9800pro.

ok cool thanks
dj- yeah i bought it recently. i chose AGP over pcie for practicallity and the fact that I didn't wanna buy a new pcie card. As preacher said, they DO still make awesome AGP cards, and I don't need anything as expensive and highend as the 7800gtx anyways. That card just seems like a benchmark bragger to me
That video card blows pilot...that card can push like a 6800 or even a 6600gt...time to invest if you want higher score or to play games like F.E.A.R....good luck!!
lol ur 6600gt isn't much better than my 9800pro, dude. so don't be saying it blows
do youre history...this is my lowest score with a 6600gt
575mhz|1.19ghz|77.72whql POWND
P.S. i have had a 9800 pro and i never could get good scores with it...and the card would STRUGGLE with maxed out grafix on farcry...So..good luck with youre problem! :shakehead

My buddy scored 4208 in 05 with his but hes vmodded and overclocked to the max.

Great choice Dj..!! And after seeing you post youre score i really have to believe that that card can do so much more damage.!
i have made up my mind.Thanks to you and several other people that i have been talking to.I have decided on the 7800 for my main rig.But as for my LAN cube im going to hang on to my 6600gt until i cant run a game with MAX grafix..Well keep Krushin 3dmark!! peace out..

I'm happy to hear that, it's a great card.
If I can make a suggestion:
Don't overclock it too much or you may start to see some graphical damage.

What is your CPU clocked at ?
Scott
As far as games and other things are concerned will that benefit me or change anything?
----
489/ 1.35 ghz [gpu overclock] + high performance setting + everything else stock
What are your old / new system specs?
the new specs are in my sig
Better CPU
I would suggest an upgrade to PCI-express.
And yes, 3dmark 2005 is based almost entirely on your video card.
CPU makes a difference, but not as much as a video card.
When did you get the AGP board...
Hopefully not recently...
If I were you I'd upgrade to PCI-express, today's best cards aren't even being made for AGP.

only overclock was GPU, CPU/Mem @ stock.
stock air cooling all around.
will post screenie soon as I can find a host for pic...
will reedit post for moderate oc on cpu/mem, soon as the cmos quits PMS'ing. (long story)

100 fps / high settings on bf2 ain't bad either.
To me it is, for the amount of time I spend on here, not to have a good system would be worse.
To each his own.
