I get 15-16k in 3dmark2k1 with a 9800 Pro. System specs are:
AMD Athlon XP 2600+ @ 3200+ speeds (200x11)
Abit NF7-S rev2.0
2 x 256MB TwinMOS PC3200 w/winbond
Enermax 460Watt with active PFC Power Supply Unit
It's quite odd that it's so low, i just did a fresh format, put new drivers on and so forth, tested it and it still scored low. Apparently i'm not running enough volts through it *shrugs*
Any ideas?
