3DMark2001 Scores

Big B · 09-01-2003, 01:48 PM

Back on topic.

Got a score of 8950 with the following hardware:
Iwill XP333-R
Athlon XP2000+ @ stock (thus far)
256MB PC2700 Samsung DDR
ATi Radeon 8500LE @ 292/320
Windows XP Pro

that's the important info.
I think the 10k mark is possible with the current setup. I think I can get a few more MHz off the Radeon, and reliable info tells me that I have a good shot at getting that XP2000+ into the mid 1.8GHz range (default is 1.67GHz).
I'll be back

with the below spec i hit 9199.
but in the comparisons im underperforming with computers with the same processor. they must be using drr or rd ram

Big B · 18-01-2003, 04:55 PM

Yup. That's really what's holding you back. I was able to OC my P4 1.6A to 2.32GHz and with a Radeon 8500LE @ 292/315, I was able to get just over 10,000 on 3DMark.

wow nice one. i dont think ill be clocking my porcessor in a hurry after last time! i think in a few months ill put it up alittle and maybe clock the graphics card a little. but for now im just happy that its working again.

Big B · 18-01-2003, 07:09 PM

Really, the big thing that's holding you back is the RAM you have. If you were to get a different motherboard with DDR or RDRAM, you'd probably break 10,000 quite easily, and probably score quite above that.

SweatyGangsta · 18-01-2003, 07:29 PM

i know. but 9199 is plenty good enough for now.
maybe next year i think about doing that.

Saton · 20-01-2003, 10:21 AM

I get 5890
with the following,

MSI KT3 ULTRA ARU
XP 1900+
256MB 266MHz DDR
60 Gb Deskstar
PNY GF4 MX 440

harrack52 · 28-01-2003, 03:08 AM

I get 2900 with the standard settings

because of the geforce of course

Big B · 28-01-2003, 02:00 PM

Sounds about right. And, yes, that GF2 MX400 is definitely your bottleneck. What gaming you do and how much if it should play a big role in deciding if you get a faster vcard.

harrack52 · 28-01-2003, 02:28 PM

well that's it right now it'S just enough for me, I can play every game I have with the details maxed, my next card will probably be a Ti chipset and I'd like to go GF4 so it'll be worth it but right now I'm pretty happy with what I have

harrack52 · 29-01-2003, 05:06 AM

My friend gets a 3250 (3DMark2001SE) score with a Athlon XP 1600+, a Asus GF2 MX 400 (V7100 Pro I think the model is), 256 of PC2100, his board is a gigabyte with a kt266 chipset which would be a GA-7VTX because according to www.viaarena.com it is the only gigabyte board made with a kt266 chipset, he runs win me.

I'm wondering why he has a higher score than me, I read somewhere(I don'T remember where) that asus uses faster memory, do not know if it's true. I know my ABIT uses 5.5ns memory.
Is it because this card made by asus is faster ? or is it because he has win me ? or a combination of the two ? or anything else ?

I know it's not that faster compared to my score but I was just wondering. It is clear that in this case, the cpu is not an issue, nor the memory.

DAMN thats one hell of a overclock
How did u do it ?!!

Big B · 29-01-2003, 06:28 PM

The 1.6A overclocks quite easily, and I was able to goto a 145MHz FSB with the RAM asynchronously 33MHz faster for 178MHz RAM @ CAS 2. My motherboard is the Iwill P4D with the Intel 845E chipset. It's not the newest board, and I don't even think it can be purchased anymore (don't hold me to that). The P4's FSB scales pretty high. There were a lot of people hitting 2.4GHz no sweat with these ones.

@ harrack52: WinME is faster, but less stable. I wouldn't touch that OS with a 10ft pole. It's the reason I went to Win2k after a month of use. The Asus may be clocked faster, but I think Hercules was the only company to OC their card a little right off the bat, and that was with their plain GeForce 2 MX (no 200/400 stuff).

harrack52 · 29-01-2003, 10:54 PM

ok no I woudn't change os just to get a better 3DMark score, it's not like I can't run my games or notice that difference, if I want better performance I'll just change my card !

XzerXes · 20-03-2003, 07:30 PM

heya guys

pc spec : 2.4b , intel mobo , 1gb ddr 2100 , creative nvidia gforce4 ti 4400 oc @ 300/600 Mhz

<<<<11611>>>> 3d mark 01 score

im gonna get a new rig within a month or so these are my spec

Amd athlon xp 2600+ ,
Asus A7N8X
King Max 512 DDR333
Silent Volcano 7
Hercules radeon 9700 pro

heheh

i gonna over clock the hell out of this system
