I'm not particularly experienced in 3d Mark 01/03 or even benchmarking, but seeing as I'm here - I've done a quick look for some recent 3d mark 03 scores on the forum.

Howard gets a slightly higher score (two hundred more, I think), and his spec seems to be similar (in theory!) to yours. Based on that, I'd say your score looks pretty good, to me.

Remember, 03 has a lower points system than 01. You'll find yourself getting 1000 or so less points. That's if you've used 3dMark01 before.. otherwise, I'll hush.

Just a little 3.25am peace of mind, for you, until someone with more than 27 brain cells posts :>

That's almost as high as mine!! NO!! I WILL NOT HAVE A GEFORCEFX CATCH UP WITH MY LOVELY CARD :cry:




That's a pretty good score if you ask me. What's your 3DMark01 score?

[chaoticone]

lol , in 3DMark01 i have had around 13932 i think and i am using the forceware 5303 drivers

[Howard]

Cool

Well since upgrading to 1GB Dual Channel this morning, my scores have risen further see sig

Crucial RAM eh? I'm going to be going for corsair, memory timings are tighter and hence score should be a lot better eventually.

not exactly KeZZeR, tighter timings "if" your staying around 200-220fsb, then it gets complicated :S, up to there ur safe though :-> and tighter timings have surprisingly not a great effect on 3d mark scores.

i have just installed the latest nvidia driver (56.64) , i now get 5420 points in 3dmark03

you are mistaken your scores for 3d mark 03 are excellent, especially when you consider i got around 1, 300 points with my ti4200.

i'll be doing a test on my new hardware...
