3dmark2001 scores

[Guest]

Hi.
I built my new system (Based on Athlon1600Xp) and ran 3dmark scores to compare my system to tomshardware ones. What i get is WAYYY below what tom got with similar systems.(Btw- i tried 21.81 drivers for my Geforce3 and it didnt help )

My system :

Operating System Microsoft Windows 98
DirectX Version 8.00

Mobo Manufacturer
Mobo Model VT8366-8233

CPU AMD Athlon(tm) XP/MP/4 1470 Mhz
FSB 140 MHz

3D Accelerator NVIDIA GeForce3 Ti 200
Graphics Chipset NVIDIA GeForce3 Ti 200
Driver Version 4.13.01.2311
Video Memory 64 MB

Resolution 1024x768 32bit
Texture Format Compressed
FSAA Disabled
Z-Buffer Depth 24bit
Frame Buffer Double
Rendering Pipeline D3D Pure Hardware T&L

3DMark Result 6101 3D marks

Game 1 Car Chase - Low Detail 104.9 FPS
Game 1 Car Chase - High Detail 41.9 FPS
Game 2 Dragothic - Low Detail 81.4 FPS
Game 2 Dragothic - High Detail 39.1 FPS
Game 3 Lobby - Low Detail 109.3 FPS
Game 3 Lobby - High Detail 53.0 FPS
Game 4 Nature 23.0 FPS

Fill Rate (Single-Texturing) 673.2 MTexels/s
Fill Rate (Multi-Texturing) 1407.8 MTexels/s

High Polygon Count (1 light) 13.4 MTriangles/s
High Polygon Count (8 lights) 3.4 MTriangles/s

Environment Bump Mapping 110.0 FPS
DOT3 Bump Mapping 84.0 FPS

Vertex Shader Speed 16.5 FPS
Pixel Shader Speed 57.9 FPS
Point Sprite Speed 16.2 MSprites/s

Any idea why i'm getting ONLY 6101 3d marks ? I tried to reinstall DirectX8.1 , tried Gainward drivers / Nvidia reference drivers. System is rock steady and stable. Temp. is 40C-50C. Even my Geforce3 is Oced slightly , at 220/480.
(installed Via 4-1 drivers too)

Thanx for all your replies.

thats a pretty crappy score for an athlon xp...
try checking your bios to see if you have AGP 4x enabled (or selected).

Really? from what I´ve heard you will barely notice any difference between x2 and x4, I have not checked this myself with any "testing program", but according to people on this forum it´s correct.


.Shitfaced.

So what sort of ball park figure do you reckon a:

PIII GHz
BX-133FSB
512 CAS 2 PC-133
Radeon 64MB DDR Retail vivo
W98SE

...should have. To the nearest 500 will do.

With a p3-933, cusl2-c, gForce 3 500ti, 512ram pc133, win2k, stock timing, I had a 5757 3DMark 2001.

Well I'm getting 2334.

Pathetic!!!

For some reason it even states on the online record of my benchmark, that my FSB is 142, which is a load of crap!

I dunno. I'm wondering if my system could be faster, or if 3Dmark is dodgy.

3Dmark2001 leaves much to desire.

Check out your memory timings ??
With a Ti 200@ 235/512, Cusl2-c, P3 800@948 I get 6241 pts 3dm2k1.This is pushing it to the max. Normal running I get 5900 to 6000.This is still overclocked but not at max.

I aint signing nothing!!!<P ID="edit"><FONT SIZE=-1><EM>Edited by Rick_Criswell on 01/22/02 07:22 PM.</EM></FONT></P>

Check your card's setting throught the display settings to see if you have your D3D settings the way you like. 6000 doesn't sound that bad though.

I have a GeForce 3 Ti200 @240/540 and an unlocked AthlonXP running at 1740mhz and I score 8300-8500 on the default settings.

I've managed to oc the ti200 to 255/575 and scored a 8700 but after a few runs performance dropped significantly due to heat.

Here's what I've found from my system, it is nearly like yours.
XP1600
256 DDR
K7s5a
Radeon 8500
FSB at 147
PCI at 36.5
Win ME
DX 8.1

With the PCI at 36.5 at 4x the system is at 292, this is also as far as my radeon will overclock, above 292 it won't make it htrough the high detail tests. I topped out at a 8900 score. This is with a "unapproved" driver from ATI, Directx 8.1, at 1024x768/32bit. I also ran Cacheman with the games default setting, it was worth about 3%. There was alot of playing iwth this though, I steped it up and tested it after each tweak. I was surprised at the differnce going from 142 to 147 on the FSB made. Apparently the processor was the orifice at that point. As I can't take it any further I can't tell where its bottleneck is now but I am considering unlodking the multiplier just to see.
