Hi ppl,
Okay I have the following rig atm:
P4 2.4b@2.8
Abit BE7-RAID MB
2 x 256MB Corsair PC3500 Cas 2 DDR-SDRam
2 x WD 120GB 8Mb Cache in RAID 0
SB Audigy
Generic Network Card
etc etc
Basically, I swapped my GF4 ti4200 64MB for a nice new Radeon 9800 Pro 128MB, my Geforce did 11,800 in 3D Mark 2001 SE and the Radeon only 16K.
In Smartgart, AGP 4x is running with fast writes on.
I was expecting roughly 18-19K from that card or does that seem unrealistic?

I wouldn't worry too much as anything over 12000 is largely irrelevant anyway, 3Dmark2001 wasn't designed to push/test these modern cards which excel with tremendous amounts of detail and also offer exceptional AA+AF. Try benching the 4200 with 2xAA+4xAF and then 4xAA+8xAF ... then try the Rad with these and see it fly! For a more precise reflection of your card's perf look at more modern stuff like 3Dmark2003 or modern games. NOTHING currently can truly test your card, so stick on some AA+AF, up the res and max out the details ... then enjoy.
