I'd appreciate your advice regarding graphics card performance. My
previous card was a GeForce4 TI 4200 it did what it did and I didn't
worry too much about FPS etc.
A few months ago I decided to build a new system, a system that
hopefully would be a great game rig. The specs. are as follows:
P4 3.2Ghz
2Gb PC3200 400 (Dual channel)
GeForce 5950 Ultra
Seagate SATA 120 GB x2
Gigabyte mobo 800mhz FSB
(Nothing OC'ed)
I've run the trial versions of AquaMark3 and 3DMark 03 which gave the
following results:
AquaMark 3 Triscore
GFX 5,796
CPU 9,750
--------------------
44,683
AquaMark settings were default: 1024x768x32, AA: off, Aniso: 4x,
Details: V. High
3DMark 03
Score: 6644
Settings: Resolution: 1024x768, Pixel processing: none, Texture
filtering: Optimal, Max Anisotropy: 4, Vertex shaders: Optimal
Sometimes during the benchmarks my FPS drops very low and certain parts
of FarCry cause my FPS to drop very low as well.
Do these benchmark scores indicate the kind of performance you would
expect from this card? Any suggestions for improving performance?
I'm new to the high end graphics card arena and would like to hear from
people with more experience.
Many thanks.
