KaluMinati Posted January 20, 2004 Posted January 20, 2004 ok... ive been tweaking my settings like crazy and i cant seem to squeeze the extra 529 onion points that i need to crack 14k, im currently running the 45.32 det drivers with dx9.1, core is at 315mhz and ram is at 621.4mhz (no texture tearing), i run with nothing on except firewall ( turning off firewall srews up my connection to futuremark for some reason ) my weakpoints seem to be the second car chase where im averaging 60+ fps and nature where im also averaging 60+ fps Compare URL: http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k1=7469544 currently im scoring 13471 but when i get that close to a higher mark, i need to get it. would using a forceware driver (53.04) improve my score at all? also do the force ware drivers interact better with dx9.1? there was also an option that i saw for motherboard chipset compatibility for my vid card ( which makes sence since they are both ASUS ) i know alot of you might say just try... but i just want some feed back if anyone has figured out a few tricks tha ti cant seem to find, ive googled for tweaks tricks and mods and come almost pretty much dry cept a few small tips that got me an extra 156 points over my previos high score, also, any feed back on those forceware drivers would be apreciated ASUS V9280/TD Ti4200 8x AGP 128mb Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AYoKoNA Posted January 20, 2004 Posted January 20, 2004 What about something simple ? A nice fresh reformat ? Also if you run dx8 you will get better marks on 3d01.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FanATIc205 Posted January 21, 2004 Posted January 21, 2004 if you can squeeze a few more mhz out of your system you could break that easy. 3dmark01 is more system depedant than video card. youll get higher scores with a cpu/fsb overclcok than you would overclocking your video card Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy54354 Posted January 21, 2004 Posted January 21, 2004 try to tighten your timings, raise multi. I know it sounds weird but tighter timings will probably help you more than fsb. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuclear Posted January 21, 2004 Posted January 21, 2004 Here are the steps I would take: 1. Reformat the HDD and go DX8.1: I've seen 600 ponits just from this 2. Do some XP Tweaks: 100 Points maybe 3. Set your 3dMark priority to real-time in task-manager when you run 3DMark 4. Run each test seperately, I wait about 3 min in between tests to let the card cool Try those things, you'll see some improvement Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
