monkeyhead · Post by **monkeyhead** » Tue Sep 17, 2002 10:14 pm

what settings?

Joe · Post by **Joe** » Tue Sep 17, 2002 10:39 pm

run the default 1024x768 bench once

and 7500 if everything is stock sounds normal for the setup

Don't mind me...just checking the fire extinguishers.

P4 still outperforms

monkeyhead · Post by **monkeyhead** » Wed Sep 18, 2002 8:30 pm

i didnt tweak the system at all.... because this thing at stock speeds should be fast enough

And thats all overclocked

3dmark was back to its ussual self crashing to desktop so i didnt get an up to date bench...

Notice how I state i jumped nearly a 1000 marks by getting the latest 4in1's?

Do you need em?

Hmm...did u try using the same windows install for both systems or is this a fresh install? sometimes using the same install of windows will not work too well, if thats the case.

monkeyhead · Post by **monkeyhead** » Thu Sep 19, 2002 8:27 am

same install of windows??? what do you mean?

loop2kil · Post by **loop2kil** » Thu Sep 19, 2002 1:49 pm

when u changed out your processor and motherboard...did u reinstall windows or did you use the installation that was on the harddrive already?

I would say that something is up. My score was 72XX with:

1.4 TBird
512MB PC133
Radeon 8500 (250/275) - catalyst 2.2
30GB WD
Win 2K

I would assume that you should see at the least around 8500+. When I receive the Retail 8500 in the next day or two (long story) I will see what, if any difference there is in my score. You may want to check your bios settings and make sure they are optimized and not some bs setting like AGP 1X.

How much longer till it comes out? And once it does Pentium will have somethin right behind it.

That doesn't sound right at all....

I have a XP2000+ as well, on a MSI KT3 Ultra 2 (KT333A) with a GF4Ti4200, 256 mb ram ddr333 and Win2k SP1. With a bit of overclocking (fsb 145 mhz; gf4 to 310/620) I got up to 12,125 3DMark2001SE score. I can't imagine that the Radeon 8500 is THAT much worse than the GF4.

Cheers,
Ronald

still at that were talkin bout 1500 marks.... i expected at least a 9000 on this thing... cause "supposedly" the AMD 2000 is better than my p4 1.8a.... the ram IS better its pc3200 vs pc2100.... and the video card in the AMD is a radeon 8500 with 128megs.... and mine in the p4 is the 64 meg one.....

well the computer is out of my hands now..... the person has it, and its fine for them, i was just amazed..... and lol

YOS i couldnt get into the BIOS anyway to make those changes.... i built the comp in my dorm room and all i had was a USB keyboard.... and if there is a setting to enable USB on boot or whatever... it was disabled.....

YARDofSTUF · Post by **YARDofSTUF** » Thu Sep 19, 2002 3:55 pm

well by default abit has 4 way interleave off, that alone is about 1000 3dmark points

monkeyhead · Post by **monkeyhead** » Thu Sep 19, 2002 8:14 pm

hmmmm really... didnt know that... thanks yos
