3D Mark 5731 on a 9800XT???

[Spud1]

still sounds low, i get 16k on my system (all at stock) and 17k when overclocked

athlonXP 2800+
Herc Radeon 9800pro 128meg
1 gig pc2700 crucial
MSI k7n2Delta ILSR nforce2 ultra
2x120gig ibm deskstars

and i rekon my scores low! (i want 20k any hints would be appreciated)

have you tried the omega drivers? they might help ya

yours should be faster than mine, thats if you had the same cpu. imo you shoyuld get 14-17 3dm2k1 and about 6.3k 3dm2k3.
set antialising and antiscopic settings to application preferance in the d3d panel in displace propertys, make sure its set defualt in 3dmrk and also exit any apps that you have open first. its not a huuuge difference... well it is, but its one that is small enuf so that it could be cuased by almsot anytihng....

on cpu test you should get lot more iirc, but i cant, dunno... try www.omegacorner.com 's version of the drivers (latest ones based on 3.10 or 3.9)

i get 17.5k in 3dm2k1 and6.1k in 3dm2k3 btw

That still seems really low, I get around 18000 in 3dMark2001 with a AIW 9800 pro.

i get 16000/5100 with my pc (sig). i have to say your scores are well below what they should be.

imo - flush out all display drivers and start again - they sound bodged.

Yup did that in safe mode too, TBH its been a year without format, I guess it might be best just to format the machine and start afresh,

that shouldn't worry 3d mark much at all - it fits into 40mb ffs...

I am aware how small it is, but seeing as I had Nvidia Drviers before this could be causing the issue, hence the format, which I am just about to start....

Ok something is definitely screwy here, I formatted, NTFS system, Win XP Pro, installed XP Pro, installed the 3.10 cats, installed DX9.0b and SP1 for XP, ran 3d Mark 03 again and only jumped to 6138.......grrr this is bugging me now....although something I did just notice was in 3D Mark 03 it now has a AGP memory size of 246MB whereas before it was showing 0

for 3dmark 2003, your score seems about right, I wouldn't complain man. My buddy has the same card and gets roughly the same score.

It's that time again for me to post ol' faithful

You've got one hell of a chip there acidrainy. Good job

Thankies, all bought from Hexus reviews!
Still got more headroom, just not got the balls

I'm waiting to push my barton to the limit, have an idea with a 120 mm fan I want to try. Also got a new heatsink for the 9800, try pushing that up a bit.

I'm getting 13k in 3DMark01 with a Gf4ti4200(300/600) and a 2500xp@190fsb(1x512 DDR2700). So that 9800XP is screwed. But I'd say my 3DMark03 would be pityfull compared to his score though.

I notice on yours you don;t run the CPU tests, these are where I am getting hammered, for example, CPU Test 2 I get 8FPS. I dunno whats going on but this card sure ain;t working right, fresh install, 3dMark 03 14273...grrr..... Might ask my mate if I can try it in his HT 3.0 and see if that makes a difference, hes got Dual channel ram as well, if that makes a suitable difference I am just gonna upgrade the rest.....
