Make sure you have the latest drivers. Turn your graphics settings to high performance, make sure that trilinear optimisation and anisotropic optimisation is on, close all memory resident programs and antivirus software, defrag hdd...

If that doesn't work then try using the latest starstorm drivers from www.guru3d.com, they don't overclock your GPU but do offer a performance increase... just check which ones you use, cause Starstorm usually has 3 types - benchmarking drivers, performance \ quality and then high quality.

Oop, I made a bit of a mistake (my memory is tereble) my score was actually 12250 but I got it up to 12285 with a CAS of 2. (turned it back to 3 cause 3dmark 05 did not want to run all the way).

Thanks Onlyone for the help...do those driver you told me about work with games fine?

I cant seem to see those starstorm drivers...could you please give me a direct link.

Post by **OnlyOneKenobi** » 21 Dec 2004, 13:56

Hmm seems the starstorm drivers are old, last updated in Feb 04. I haven't used them for quite a while - you're better off sticking with the latest forceware I guess, but here is a link anyway...

eish thats a big difference in points man, i dont think youll be able to reach 13000 without a overclock, the difference is just 2 much now

, overclocking you cpu wont help that much for 03, just overclock your GPU, add a extra 50 mhz on and see what score youll get, it shouldnt damage your GPU at all

Jtaute · Post by **Jtaute** » 21 Dec 2004, 16:27

does anyone know this site: http://www.3dchipset.com ? they seem to have some nice drivers and stuff on there. anybody tried those? there are Extreme G drivers for Nvidia and Omega drivers for ATI.

Nerevar · Post by **Nerevar** » 21 Dec 2004, 18:21

The omega drivers is good, but the Extreme G..... stick with normal Nvidia drivers

Yeah...*shiver* cant bear the thought of OCing my R4850 card.

What do you think

AMAZING

i tried the extreme g driver for my 6800 vanilla and it has gone up to exactly 10500 3dmarks. it is version 70.something. i couldn't see any glitches or anything yet. try it.

dammod · Post by **dammod** » 22 Dec 2004, 23:08

OK, got my score to 12337 now...no OCing done.

StarBound · Post by **StarBound** » 22 Dec 2004, 23:35

...142. That's actually impressive. A MX shouldn't even run 3dmark03.

dammod · Post by **dammod** » 23 Dec 2004, 00:35

I ran it with my old MX440 and intel P3 1ghz.

Nice! That's an X800Pro equivalent score, with a 6800 NU? Those must be some impressive drivers!

I finally got my other texture pipelines unlocked on my A400 TDH...... And it worked without any problems. I also OC, ed the GPU to 380 Mhz and the memory to 800 Mhz... rock solid and stable.

The scores were as follow:
3d Mark 2003 ................. 10490 (not bad for a R2400-00 card)
3d Mark 2005 ................. 4005 (" " ")
Aquamark3 ................... 52342

Now I got my new A8V Delux mobo and the 3500+ Athlon 64 and the scores went as follows
3d Mark 2003 ................. 10987
3d Mark 2005 ................. 4056
Aquamark3 .................... 61000

And Doom3 was running demo1 1024x768 Ultra detail 63 Fps and after the cpu and mobo upgrade it went to 82 FPS and 86.4 FPS on High detail.....

How did you manage to unlock the remaining 4 pipelines on your A400TDH? I've been looking for softmods and so on, but I've had no luck... I would also love an A400TDH with 16 pipelines!

VoodooProphetII · Post by **VoodooProphetII** » 29 Dec 2004, 13:06

Well I used Rivatuner (150) if, went to the hardware section where they show NVstripe, not the Driver section. Then you simple reinstall or install at the bottom of that page, select, or mark the box enabling masked hardware, or something like that... It will give you a warning etc and you continue and then you use in that box the customize selection after which you choose the customize button and you'll see the masked hardware. You can enable them, but I'll tell you it will give you a bit of artifacts if you averclack it as well.... I managed to overclack the card to 380GPU and 800 Mem, with the other pipeline enabled and here's the 3D Mark2003 Score ..... 11114

Jamming · Post by **Jamming** » 29 Dec 2004, 20:34

can anyone tell me, how much performance i would loose from using
agp4 apposed to agp8?

here follows my cfg:

AMD Semptron 2600 + @ 2 Ghz
1024 DDR Kingston 400 Mhz
2 x 160 Gb Sata Seagate 7200 Hdd.
Sony Dual Layer 16X DVDR/W
Pixelview 8X Agp Geforce 5900 XT /w Golden Sample 128 Mb
Asrock K7VM3, 333Fsb, 4X Agp

I also have a Asus A7VM, Board?
Think i should swap the boards?

Hi Jamming

as far as I know the performance from 4x to 8x is like 4%

Yes it's a small fraction. Nothing 2 worry about.

Yet that can result in a 5 to 10 FPS drop in games......
