    You really shouldn't be setting the drivers to performance as that is basically cheating, as that is not the setting you would be gaming with as it degrades all mip-mapping and texture quality.

    Performance mode is the mode I play all my games at. It goes back to my P166/TNT Quake TF days when every millisecond counted. Now that I have a 9800, this obsession for speed is probably unnecessary but old habits do die hard. Just for the sake of comparison, I ran the bench again but with OpenGL and DirectX at defaults. I couldn't discern any difference in the quality of the visuals:

    It normally isn't noticable in benchmarks, but when you play games it normally becomes obvious. Doesn't make a huge difference but the difference is still there.

    I am very much limited by video card clock it seems. 2100+ @ 2277 R9700Pro @ 356/324 = 41,xxx, P4 @ 3350 R9700 Pro @ 355/324 = 42,111

    should have this running in 2 days.

    3.2c (o/c to something nice)
    512 corsair xms ddr466
    radeon 9800pro 128mb

    but untill then, lets try my shuttle:

    2500+
    1gb kingston hyperx ddr333
    radeon9800pro
    (sig still says 9700pro i kno :P)

    And the shuttle dominates.....

    Knew that as soon as I saw the frame rate. You would have had to have an AVG frame rate of 87.95fps. Which it didn't, so it was quite blatant.

    Ok
    I'm going to finally do it.
    2100 @ 11.5 x 200 = 2.3/ R 9600 Pro, stock 3.8's

    Larry, you're doing just fine with that score. :)
    After checking AquaMark's version of the ORB (they call it ARC), your score falls right in line with a non-overclocked 9600 Pro and an AXP @ 2300 MHz. :)

    Good deal! Now I better hit the rack before eveybody wakes up and I'm still here.

    Did a little tweaking... trying to get closer to that 50K mark :)

    P4 2.4C @ 2.94 (245x12)
    Asus P4C800-E with PAT Enabled
    2x256 MB Corsair XMS3700 DDR490 1:1 FSB @ 3-4-4-7 2.8v
    Sapphire Atlantis 9800 @ 412/380.
    Catalyst 3.7.

    #8 P4 between 2889 & 2989 & Radeon 9800 at any speed. :)

    //Edit: This was an old benchmark I had saved on the PC before my old P4C800-E blew up.

    My first attempt at tweaking on this 9600 Pro, dropped the Cat 3.8's to the 3.7's to be on the safe side (cost me 802 points on Aquamark) and bumped from stock (400 core 300 mem) to 450/ 315. Not going to do any more till I get better cooling on it.

    would Catalyst 3.7 work with my radeon 9800XT ill be getting?, or do they only run 3.8 and up, which is what they come with
  • TheBaronTheBaron Austin, TX

    well the onboard overclocking stuff wont work with anything earlier than 3.8's, so i'd go ahead and use those and up. the differences are very negligable anyway

    Catalyst 3.8 is required to utilize the 9800XT. The Catalyst & Omega Catalyst 3.7 drivers do not have support for the 9800XT (R360 VPU).

    k, just wondering...:)

    Something I am wondering about is that since this bench lists the CPU reslut and the GFX result and when you chage just the GFX settings the CPU score changes too. Some changes result in GFX score increase and CPU score increase and some result in GFX increase with CPU decrease. Compare your scores and what you did and you will see. I have a bunch saved and all CPU scores are different when nothing was ever done to the rest of the system, just GFX changes. :\

    How drastic are the CPU score changes? If they're small, it might be just some minor variation (testing error?)...

    Maybe you should post a picture of her! :eek: Uh, but not here... at Addaboy!

    Here are some of the different CPU scores. They are in progression of overall scores from lowest to highest overall score.

    7407
    7586
    7375
    7629
    7548

    Now that looks like a healthy difference in CPU scores with no change in the rest of the system. There also seems to be no rhyme or reason to the way they fluctuate. Am I being too anal about this? NO WISE ANSWERS PLEASE!!!

    Well I put some better cooling on the core but don't have anything on the memory. I wanted to break the 30K mark and did it in grand style with my first try on new cooling. :D It looks like I might have some more headroom left too.

    Not too shabby for a card most say won't go far.

    Freudian slip - isn't that when you say one thing but mean your mother? ;D

    I have a crummy video card (that is going to change very, very soon!), so I don't have a nice score to post.

    I guess for now, my machine doesn't run very "smootly"...

    prof never can keep up with the 1337 lingo...
