Graphics offical aquamark3 thread

I am dying to try this one out. My CPU score should be pretty good but my GFX score will only be really good for a giggle.

Although saying that I have not been geting very good comparisons against other stuff in Sandra at all on my CPU tests, I am not sure what needs doing to my set up to get all the speed it should have.

Specs:

AMD Xp3000+ @stock
2x512Mb DDR400 matched pair running dual channel (I hope)
Asus A7N8X Deluxe
GeForce 3 Ti200 @stock again

There is room in my cooling setup to tweak my CPU I am sure (Alpha PAL 8045) but for some reason everytime I try my mobo just sits there at the post screen saying 'Warning, CPU overspeed' and goes no further, grrrrr

Will download and run it as soon as I get back home (working atm ) and post back with some 'scores' hehe

 

Right then first run, no tweaking whatsoever and I get:

GFX 1,101
CPU 6,225
Total 10,078

Like I said, the GFX one was a bit of a giggle, my highest frame rate was 23.77 on the very first test, it seemed anything that had any 'vegetation' in it whatsoever really gave me trouble even just a few strands on the ground or whatever. Need to play around and sort this stuff out, if only I were working I could blow a bit of my shiney student loan on a funky new card.

 

Just run again
Cpu = 6002
Graphics = 5778.
Total 38,000 ish.

 

MAKE WAY!
11225


That's why I can't wait for my new rig...





Cheers,
Mike

It seems to me that I should be able to get a higher score; but I'm new to benchmarking does anyone have any advice?

 

which graphics card do you have?

 

whoops, Forgot to add that in my origonal post, I added above

 

thats about right for that card, really holds you back.

 

Was sure I'd already posted this... ah well



The good old 9500 done good

The table is down

 

for fun, I pushed my 2800+ to 2.4 ghz (thats a 195 mhz FSB) and overclocked my gfx only 5 mhz on mem and core (I don't have a temp sensor on there yet, wanted to be careful) and I scored around 45000. I was extremely pleased with the results of overclocking that much, and I hope to go over 200 mhz stable next week. After running aquamark, my cpu was at 43 C. Only 3 C more than without OC idle, because the ambient was around 85 F...hot. My heatsink is a beast, a thermalright sp97 with a 92mm 2850 rpm fan....its fighting my exhaust fans ATM, when I fix that I will try to push 200 FSB.

specs in my sign

 

I'm sorry josh2k3 i will not be entering those into the bit-table, only full size screens or valid link are to be used. Sorry


since i got my new board and i can run my agp at 8x now i think ill re-test

 

oh ok no prob - i will run them again then

 

Well I thought I'd better post in here at some point.
