ok first time benchmarker here - literally first attempt. at 1024x768 with 2x aa, i got 11094. Is this good or bad and should I do it on the default browser settings? I'm gonna do it on 1600x1200 and everything maxed now, so i'll let you know. on my old pc, p3 800mhz, 384 ram mx440 64mb, i got 4678. so it's a massive improvement, i'll give ya that.
i'm using the second edition, and the "benchmark" button with 17 tests. hopefully thats right. my score is 11330. Dragothic Low - 200.9 fps, high - 117 fps Nature 49 fps Environ. Bump Map - 136.6 fps Good or bad?
The human eye ceases to notice additional frames at an exponential rate after 50FPS, so I'd say that's pretty good
Waffle what settings are you using? I'm sure you can get better marks! I think people mostly do the benchmark with the first three test on the list...
im using the defaults, like b said. what sort of scores are you getting? i thought it seemed a little low, but seeing as first time benchmark, didn't mean a lot to me. hell, it plays far cry on max everything and high aa, even at 1600x1200, so i don't think there's a problem. the low score made me think that there might be a problem with the settings or something.
They do seem a bit low. My P4 2.4B @ 3.1GHz with a GF4 Ti4600 is doing 14,500+. 3D Mark can give a lower score if your AGP or Chipset driver isn't installed.
that's highly likely then. i doubt they are installed or up-to-date. ok, i know i'm a pain in the arse, but where from and how do i check? thanks!!
i just got a 9800pro (traded my 9600xt plus $80 to a friend) and my new score is around 15500 in 01 and 5600 in 03. it runs doom 3 like a dream for me at least but i only get 2fps increase in ut2004 timedemo.
It's a great card I once had a 9600 Pro so I know how big of a difference a 9800 Pro is compared to it.
go waffle, go waffle! I took the test again, and finally got a semi decent score! Old score: 11094 New Score! 16667
Nice score Waffle. I knew you could break 15K easily. Now go for 17K! BTW,I forgot to post my new scores... Breakin 13K.

22439 3D marks....dude. that's like double my old score. I think I'll just run the benchmark over and over again during the night, and see what happens in the morning. Later days :good:
