finally broke 9k on 3dmark!

[thebove]

made it....i've decided i definately need some better cooling though as i had to prop up an extra case fan pointing at my ti500 to get it to go, and i'm also kinda amazed i made it to 9k with my rig sitting on a 4.79 5v rail....but i got it...not as high as kjy9 or mystifmagic, but i said i'd get there, and i made it....score is 9004. here's the compare link. system below was clocked at 1668 (145x11.5) and the ti500 was at 258/584 w/23.11 drivers.

if you used the 21.83s or 21.85s you might get a better score =)

haven't tried any of the 21.xx drivers, though i did try several versions of the 22.xx drivers and only had worse scores, so i just stuck with the 23.11s

Yikes! Nice score...I couldn't get out of the 8,000's with the 2311's...I had to use the 2250's to break 9000. It seems like different cards perform better with different drivers.

Haha...

I'm getting 5600 with 23.11's, 1.33 Athlon Stock, Ti200 Stock.

I hit 6500 with 23.11, 1.3 @ 1.36 (160mhz FSB) and Ti200 220/500 stock cooling. It would probably hit a lot higher if I added real cooling to the Ti200, I think PNY has quality RAM and GPU.

Hey I have an 8K7A, right before I was planning on installing the updated AMD miniport drivers, my computer crapped out on me. How much performance would I gain by updating the AGP miniport drivers?

Nice job but this is more of a VC topic
