Flash2073 Posted March 31, 2003 Posted March 31, 2003 I was just able to get 3d mark 03 past 'file corruption' errors and everything went fine. Except one thing, my score was only 869. here's my rig... asus p4s8x w/ p4 2.4g @ 2.7 768m pc 2700 ddr geforce 4 ti4200 (64m) engine/mem @ 290/540 pc2002mark scores were over 7000 and 3dmark01 se scores were also over 7000 anyone else with similiar pblms, or tips to resolve this? I know this system is quick, and I know it inside and out as I built it myself! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrusk Posted March 31, 2003 Posted March 31, 2003 thats not a very abnormal score for a ti4200, my friend has one and he could just barley break a 1,000. above all else 3dmar03 is video card dependent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinal Posted March 31, 2003 Posted March 31, 2003 rhats crazy tats a nice setup but you need a better vc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sykocus Posted March 31, 2003 Posted March 31, 2003 the main thing with the new 3dmark is its use of dx9. so cards that don't fully support it tend to score really low. your gonna need GeForce FX or something in the ATI line, but anything in the Ti line won't really do it. other then that all i can say is try some of then newer "leaked" drivers, i got good result with the 42.86, which were the newest when 3dmark03 first came out. that and turn your graphics settings down to agressive, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mxrider623 Posted March 31, 2003 Posted March 31, 2003 ok just because you have low scores in 3D Mark 03 doesnt mean anything you are not supposed to compare the scores with other programs!! read somewhere in 3D Mark 03 and it will tell you!

Flash2073 Posted April 1, 2003 Posted April 1, 2003 (edited) Ya, I know I shouldn't compare the scores to other stuff and I have been looking at the FX card a bit. I do know that after cranking the engine up to 300 and the mem up to 540, I also bumped my FSB up more so my sys was at 2.9g then ran the benchmark at 800x600x16. I was Finally able to get my score up to 2230!!! So, I feel a lot better about that one then the previous score. As soon as I can spend the extra cash I'll get the FX (maybe by then they'll have a better one out too!!)

mxrider623 Posted April 1, 2003 Posted April 1, 2003 you might just want to wait till the new Nvidia cards come out because the FX is crap youd be better of buying a 9700pro. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
intel_inside Posted April 2, 2003 Posted April 2, 2003 i read somehwhere that 3dmark 03 is more ATI compatible...ill have to look that up again and see exactly what it said Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrusk Posted April 2, 2003 Posted April 2, 2003 i heard that the ati cards performed better on 3dmark03 so nvidia tooled their drivers to perform better on 3dmark03(which is unfair and is cheating), and for that reason futuremark will not allow results to be posted that were obtained with the latest nividia drivers, i think they were beta drivers too. is that what you were reffering to intel_inside?

Halogen Posted April 2, 2003 Posted April 2, 2003 I was benchmarking using 3dmark 2001 SE with same results when i overclocked my Card. Well Well well I was surprised that when I overclocked my ATI 9700 with PowerStrip my scores shot up proportionally with every time I increased my ATI speed here are the results Using 3DMark 2003: 4646: stock cpu, ATI stock @324Mhz ram 310 4860: stock cpu, Ati overclocked @ 353Mhz ram 313 4912: stock cpu, ATI overclocked @ 361Mhz ram 313 thats a large increase which was not noticable with 3dmark 2001 SE. So I beleive that 3DMark 2003 is more compatible with ATI 9700. I could have overclocked further getting a higher score, and even a bettter score if i slightly overclocked my cpu.

mxrider623 Posted April 2, 2003 Posted April 2, 2003 I think Intel is talking about ATI paid future mark to develop 3D Mark 03 to perform better with an ATI card instead of an Nvidia card. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
