How to?

Not an awful lot of difference then !! I need an upgrade !!!!!!!!!!!

 

just out of intrest, what scores did you get in 3D MARK 01, 3D MARK 03, 3D MARK 05, AQUAMARK 3?

 

I must be honest i cant remember '01 , ! ? ! '03 5900 give or take a point, and i havent used '05 ! NEVER used aquamark !!!

 

WOW, 9800pro is an excellent card!!!, in 3d mark 01 i got 20200 and in 3d mark 03 i got about 11500, so yours is about only 50% slower, thats not alot.
i never got to end of 3d mark 05 becouse my computer shuts down.

 

11500 ??? I'll say it again , I NEED AN UPGRADE !!! 400mhz (or there about) mine goes at , which aint to bad when you think how old it is !! The 9800 wasnt the best card on the market for years because it was naff ! ? ! ? ! Though a little dated now i do admit !! I used to get 2470 with a FX5600 on '03 then it jumped up 3000 points or more with the 9800 !! Best card ive had !!! A few people have said that 05 is not a fair reflection on your card as it puts most of the stress on your cpu !

 

i thought so becouse i was getting 1fps on one of the 3d mark 05 benchmarks.

my old 9600np was running at 486mhz oc'd, so thing what you could get your 9800pro to, and i got a large fps increase in all games.

i reinstalled it, i turned v-sync off, and it was still going about25-40fps on full, there must be a bug in gta sa thats doing this, i might have to update gta sa, and see how that does.

 

Im very nervous of over-overclocking my card , though as an upgrade becomes increasingly more inevitable i wont be able to resist ! Especially now you've said that , 486..... !!! Hmmmmm !!!!! You've got the cogs spinning in my head now !!!!

No patch at gta-sa.com ? ! ? !

 

there is somwere, on half life i have just noticed that most of the time i am getting 120fps, and thats with everyhitng at highest AA and AF on and highest reseloution 1280*1024, the fps can range from 50 fps and 200 fps.

 

200 !!! Stunning , with not a lot happening i think mine max'd out at about 120fps !! 200 !!! I think we can deffinatly say theres nothing wrong with your rig !! It seems GTA SA doesnt work to tough no matter what rig you've got !!!

 

meh, computer shut down on half life 2, time ot start looking for a new motherboard for skt 478 processor and agp, keep looking, you will see a post form me crop up about that soon.
