Graphics Disappointing 3dmark 2001 score

Wacked in a 9800 pro earlier today but only managed 15179 in 3dmark 2001. I've been into the driver settings and set everything to performance, 8x agp is on, and seemingly everythings working fine. I haven't tried 2003 as yet.

spec :

2700+
512Mb PC2700 (Corsair)
9800 pro
drivers: newest omegas

Any tips / suggestions / comments?

Thankyou

 

You could check the clocks and that you have 256bitDDR. However IIRC 15000 is about right for XP2700+ with 9800Pro. Also rem to switch prefs back to quality before you game! 3Dmark03 does stress the newer cards out more, 3Dmark2001 was really for the GF3 level of cards, for that to stress out modern cards you need AA+AF & higher res.

EDIT: I just checked my scores and Barton XP2800+ with o/c'ed 9700Pro scores 16000 (CAT3.6) with all sliders on quality, so you're about right really. IIRC 9800Pro clocks should be 380/340 (my 9700Pro=360/310). For reference you should expect about 6000 in 3Dmark03. If you're comparing your scores with others on the 3Dmark website bear in mind almost all are with o/c'ed systems!

 

Yup thats ~ bang on for the card with the setup your running. Manage 16.7k with a 2.2ghz t/bred and 233 fsb.
03 wise though, 6k is a little optimistic, 5.4-5.6k is about the range I'd expect it to be in
