Hi folks,

Got the PC from Kustom this morning. Some benchmarks for those who cried "Impossible!"

3D Marks 2003 4800

Cheers all...

Cem

I believe you Cem but those doubters will require screenshots to be convinced ;)

As for the major decrease in score ( :rolleyes: ) I'm not sure why that's happened; in fact Graeme at Kustom said it pipped 16,000 after a little tweaking. Maybe something to do with the cooler that didn't fit in the end.

Cem

Did you clear the memory, and turn every process off thats not needed ;) still respectable

My score - 4366 :)

Downloading it just now, will try it on my baby XP2100/Ti4200 setup for comparsion tonight :D.

Whats the spec again Blow Dog, tasty scores for any air cooled rig IMO.

Do these numbers actually mean anything nowadays ? I only ask as I know some graphics boards *are* optimised to run these tests faster.

Do these numbers equate to real-life speed increases ?

Cheers

Ian

IMO, the 2k1 benches are far, far more accurate as they actually benchmark based on the whole CPU/RAM/VGA setup. 2k3 is completely biased to the VGA card used. Different CPU's and RAM make far less difference in this one. Personally, I think 2k3 is complete pap.

Hi Si,

Asus P4T533-R (P4 Socket 478, PC4200 RIMM)
Intel Pentium 4 3060 Retail 512k (478) 533 HT

Its Jye btw, pleeze dont confuse me with, cough, 'HIM' :D :D

Oi!!!!!!, i think he just copied and pasted from the other thread ;)

Ah :)

Wow Cem, thats a good score.

I've just built a new machine and only get 4924 as a 3D Mark in 2001.

The spec of the machine is as follows:

AMD Athlon XP Barton Cored 2500+ 333Mhz
Asus A7N8X nForce2 Deluxe MOBO
2 x Corsair 512MB DDR Platinum XMS2700 CAS2 DDR333
Gainward GeForce4 PowerPack Ultra/750 XP-8X XP Ti4800SE
Maxtor DiamondMax ATA133 120GB 7200RPM 8MB Cache
Teac 52x24x52x CDRW Black CD-W552E
Teac 16x DVD-ROM Black DV-516E
Creative® Soundblaster Audigy 2 Platinum Retail

Anyone have any suggestions ??? all memory timings as selected by BIOS - FSB standard speed, std VCORE etc.

Ian

Should got better spec memory :( like Dual DDR400 :(

'knock knock' nobody noticed mine? :p;)

heheh.. yeah but thats cheating ;)

Nick, what was the cooling system u recommended?

cheers

Tin
ps: sis loves the tft :) (even better when she didn't pay me for it!:(

You should be getting double that score. You must have Anti-Aliasing enabled or something. Check your settings.

Agree with Daz.
Even my old PC, a 1400 AMD with GeForce 3 64Mb got about 8500 points.

Cem

Hehehe.

just looked in the NVidia control panel and anti-aliasing was turned right up to 4XS. Ran the benchmarks with it turned off and got 10137 which is a little better I guess.

Now I just have to play with the DIMMS and see if they can be timed a little better.

If anyone else is running the same MOBO I will be interested to see how you got on with the DDR333 timings.

Ian.

Thats a better score :D;)

Ian, Oi reckon you should have another look at your system, mine got 10279 at 3D2k1. It's a:
AMD XP2100+
Asus A7N8X NForce2 Deluxe Motherboard
256Mb Samsung 400Mhz RAM
Gainward Ti4200 64Mb
Maxtor 80Gb 7.2K rpm/8mb/U133

Edit: to say,
Although you've got a faster CPU and more RAM, my RAM is a bit quicker and I believe the Ti4200 chipset is ahead of the Ti4800. Neck in, neck in, I say :)
