I have this configuration: Asrock K7 Upgrade 880 AMD Sempron 2200+(333Mhz clock) 2x256DDR(FSB 400Mhz), both have same specifications, but they are from 2 different factories - run in dual channel mode GeCube R9600 PRO 128MB(Omega drivers, they work good) Seagate 20GB ATA 133(my WD SATA 200GB died, but there is no differences in frame count, just in loading time...) 300W power supply So whats the problem: Performance sux, 7200 points in 3dmark2001SE and 2200 points in 03(all below 10fps, except 1st the "The wings of fury") 3d mark 2003: Fill Rate (Single-Texturing) 404.9 MTexels/s Fill Rate (Multi-Texturing) 1237.4 MTexels/s I think thats almost nothing, my graphics card should it run smoothly... note: dont answer with "sell it to museum, and buy new one" Ive tried overclocking, changing the bios settings, set the single channel mode...even worse results... 1.What could couse such bad performance?
Driver issues could cause performance loss. What's your driver version ? Newer drivers support newer cards better so I think you should stick to 4.x drivers. I used to get around 9600 points with my 9600 Pro actually. (I checked the 3dmark01 thread http://www.hardwareforums.com/3dmark2001-scores-95/?highlight=3dmark01. That was on an Athlon 2000+ I believe, Palomino core Now, what you'll need to do is a clean install of the catalyst drivers, using this procedure TweakGuides.com - ATI Catalyst Tweak Guide Make sure your chipset drivers are installed. If they're not, you should install them after you remove the video drivers, but before you reinstall them. The same rules apply to chipset drivers, so choose an older version. If problems still occur, we'll go from there.
Someone told me that there is smth wrong with my radeon, because fill rate is not normal (it should be about 1000)
Are the AGP settings correct in your BIOS? Make sure the aperature is set to 8X and there should also be a setting for the size of the memory on the GPU (64MB, 128MB, 256MB etc).
The 3dmark 2003 results with omega drivers(ati 4.9) and old via chipset drivers(from motherboard offical page). Ass you can see, fill rate is still disaster.
Try and benchmark your other components. SiSandra is a good one for having everything. It might help you narrow it down to where the problem is.
No but if your cpu is performing like a pentium 2 or your getting 500 mbs of bandwidth to your ram it will be your problem. Sandra will show this.
Ive not got much time to read over it all but your RAM bandwidth is low. Ive got simgle channel ddr400 and get 2800mb/s. Thats with P4 2ghz Sis Chipset.
