Is my benchmark to low?

[Mechano]

I recently bought a PC with the following specs:

AMD 64BIT 3000+ CPU
CHAINTECH M/B with KT800 chipset
512mb ram(currently running 333 but 400 is arriving tommorow)
Gainward GeForce FX5700 Ultra

My Benchmarks are as follows

3dmark03 = 2901
3dmark01 = 10794

These seem very low. is it just the memory that runs at to low a speed? Otherwise I'm dumstruck because people with lesser specced systems get higher scores than this. Benchmarks don't mean everything but if you buy a new PC like this you expect something about it. Please let me know!!

[Ihsahn]

what res are you running it at, cause if its 1024 thats waaaayyyyyy to low, that it is

[Mechano]

1024x768.....I thought so. What is t he prob???

[OnlyOneKenobi]

The score does seem too low. What drivers are you using for the 5700 Ultra, and what are you running your 3dmark settings at. Also check your quality \ performance settings.

[SquattingDog]

They do seem a TAD low, myself have the same problem. I have a 9700PRO + 2500Barton.

After benching on Aquamark I get a mear 18000, WHILE Snowmonkey, running Gainward 5700Ultra + 2600Barton get 40000. 8O

I still need to reinstall aquamark after getting my new 9700PRO, other 1's RAM got screwed. So HOPEFULLY this would solve some issues, then again I can whip Snowy B-Hind.

Mechano, make sure you are running the latest drivers, if you are using the latest drivers try using a previous version.

Keep us posted.

But this is still weird, my old FX5600 on Athlon1700+ and 256RAM got between 2800-3000 on 3D mardk 2003

What motherboard do you have?

18000 on Aquamark, Squattie? That seems more than a tad too low, I used to get 18000 with a stock 2000+ and a Geforce 4ti4200 that overclocked a little. You should also be getting at least 40 000 like Snowy, I get 30 000 with 2000+ and 5900XT.

[Mechano]

The new forceware drivers. Can't remember the version number. I started with the 53.03 drivers though and the version was the same

[OnlyOneKenobi]

Have you installed ALL your mobo drivers? I know that sometimes your score is halved if not all the drivers and utils are loaded properly on some brands.

If you have a nforce 3 make sure you install the GART driver, this will enable AGP on your board, otherwise your card is running in PCI mode

[OnlyOneKenobi]

Also make sure AA and AF and VSync is turned off and that your image quality slider is set to performance or high performance when benchmarking

[Artagra]

Mmm - did you do a fresh install of WinXP on the machine? The hint about the GART driver is good, also mobo drivers and VGA drivers

That machine really should get a higher 3dmark 01 score especially, a machine I sold with an Athlon64 3200 with a 9800pro scored 19000+ when testing and benchmarking it.

As a matter of interest, what did you pay for the 5700? Is it an Ultra?

I get 6000 in 3D mark03 with a P4 2.4Ghz and radeon 9800SE (OC a bit...OK a lot and using omega 2.5.44 driver) and Gigabyte GA-8IG1000 Pro-G I865G Mobo with 512MB DDR 266

[the_nominator]

My scores are also a little low.

3D mark 01 13450
3D mark 03 3000

My 2.8 is at 3.2
and my graph cad is actually a MSI 5700 overclocked with D.O.T at Commander. (The highest)

Wierd thing is on the back of the box it says that with D.O.T on commander it sould get 3600+ points in 3D mark 03.

How can I "up" these

[Sci_Cotic-Ghost]

My system is as such:

AMD XP 2500+ (overclocked to 2000mhx)
512 ddr 333, dual channel
abit-nf7-m motherboard
Gigabyte FX5900XT 128
Sound blaster live.

Running on:
Windows XP Pro SP1
nvidia drivers 56.72
nforce drivers 4.24

scores:
3dmark 2001 se: 9723
3dmark 03: 3651
Aquamark: 32156

I think these scores are too low, any suggestions?

You mean with your current setup or upgrading...? That processor is quite a bottleneck. A 3200+ should get you well into 40000+ territory...

[BlindEagle]

Yes get a new CPU. A 2600+ should only cost you like R800 and a 2800+ like R1100 or something like that.
