Gf3 -> Gf4

Well I just replaced my Geforce 3 (no Ti) with a BFG GF4 Ti4200 Se 128 MB, and my 3dmark 2k3 scores are flying :)
I think you guys can understand that a GF3 user doesn't run 3dmark 2k3 very much (those scores hurt) and so all i remember is that the old score was below 1000, i think 770ish....

New card, new score, same 43.45 drivers...1526 :)
those planes in the first test fly much faster on this new baby :)
thought i'd share...

BTW sweet lookinh HSF (plus heatsink on bottom of card) on this BFG product.

not bad, you must have overclocked her a fair bit to score so high, I get 1200 on my ti4200 in 3dmark 2003 but I should benchmark again LOL what do you get in 2001

I got 1936 with my Ti-4600 and 1847 with my Ti-4200 :)

Nah no OC, just popped the thing in (previously uninstalled drivers), installed drivers (43.45). After restart i just ran 3dmark 2k3...was aiming for 2k1 but that doesnt seem to like dx 9.

It was right after starting this thread i noticed i had no sound and windows nicely informed me that i had no soundcard :P
A restart fixed that problem...think that helped my score?

At stock speeds? :)
BTW reran 3dmark 2k3 with sound working this time and got 1524, so sound had no effect on the score.

It still is a bleak picture though, during the first plane test i get great FPS (max like 351 for a sec or 2), after that it's all single digit :P

No, the Ti-4200 was overclocked to 295/515 and the Ti-4600 was @ 325/750.

3dmark2003 is very inconstant with those scores of yours. it doesnt care about cpu speeds and also it likes directX 9 cards. also no way your ti4200 nearly matches a ti4600, your ti4600 has so much more memory bandwith too. Use 2001, most people still use that, what do you get on each

Really? I get 1100 with mine...NO OC by the way:)

edit: Sorry that was with my fsb at 143, which I believe was XP2000+ speeds. But with everything stock I get 1050. Geez I can't for my 2100+ and 9700:cool:
