Indeed. Maybe if I get the ramsinks back on there I can break 19k. Actually not maybe... I will. :)Quote:

I havn`t desided yet if I`m going to use the Thermotake Giant 11 or a Iceburg 4 with some monster sinks on my ram to cool my 9800, It would be nice to get 20K with it.;) :)Quote:

Ohhh yeah, I forgot you got the 9800, whats your highest 3DMark so far?Quote:

EDIT: Just checked the 3DMark Team site, 17.8k, haven't you OCed the 9800 yet?
Yes I made that run at 425/365, but if you noticed it was a run with my fsb at 185 and the only tweaks I did was just slide the performance bar all the way to the left, I`m waiting on my 2500+ and new ram before I do any serious 3D Marking, also I guess I had better get a pci card before I flash it to a pro. ;)Quote:

Ah, so you were limited by FSB, didn't notice that.Quote:

I didn't tweak either, can't be bothered, heh, I've tweaked before, using guides and ****, but noticed no difference whatsoever, so I said to hell with tweaking.
I'd love to pick up a 9800 Pro, and I would... if there weren't next gen cards coming up. :D
I have spent twice as much for this 9800, then I have for any video card I`ve ever owned and I exspect it, to last me at lease a year and a half.:DQuote:

I have a question to all you hardcore 3dmarkers ;). Im at 19072 points at the moment, with a ~3month old xp pro install, dx 9.0 and cat 3.7 drivers, will i see 20k with a clean win 2000 install, cat/omega 3.2, dx8 ?
Im asking because im too lazy to rip out the harddrive in my backup computer and do a fresh win2000 install just to gain 200 points. So what do you say, any chance for a ~900 point difference with win2000,dx8.0,cat/omega 3.2 .
I don't think you're going to get 900 points by doing that alone. You're going to have to apply every tweak in the book and then maybe you will get what you want. 900 points on a rig that is maxed hardware wise is very hard to get. I can usually pickup between 500-750 on the various tweaks I use.
I do believe you can get more out of your card however. Have you maxed it?
Damn, it would be nice to finally see 20k. Well i might try it anyway and serach the net for tweak tips.Quote:

The core on my 9800SE seams to be a POS :( . 440, any more and it will trow me to the desktop, it may be the combination high FSB, CPU speed and high GPU clock that makes it unstable.
I may redo the GPU HS installation, im not sure i got it 100% right so that might get me a few more MHz on the core.
drop the memory back 5 mhz and push the core harder. Too high of a memory oc is usually the cause of dropping to the desktop. When the core is too high it will cause hard lockups and cause you to have to reboot. Give it a try :D
I have experienced about every way 3dmark can crash ;) bluescreens, frezes, got thrown to the desktop + some other strange errors. Im pretty sure that the hardware is at the limit. I might get me some better ram and aim for a 230MHz FSB, that should get me close to 20k.Quote:

Thanks for the tip, i will give 3dmark a spinn later today :).
why dun include me for the fight?
i havent run 3dmark for my system with 230fsb
i busy to find a ne job for myself in order i have money to buy another stick of 256mb ram and good cooler for my ti4200 and my stupid barton 2500 only limit me not even reach 2.3ghz
CPU:Athlon XP 2500+
Stock Speed of CPU:1.84
Overclocked speed of CPU:2.578ghz
MotherBoard:Abit NF7-S rev.2.0
Ram:1GB Buffalo Tech PC3700 2.5/3/3/11
Video Card:Hercules Radeon 9800pro

Notice the new cpu/fsb speeds!
Also, the specs are same, vid card is clocked only slightly lower, same cpu/fsb....3dmark03:

There's my new scores! That was fun! Thanks for updating it!:D :p
Scores update!
As always check over the work.. Make sure it is correct :)
I had some nice scores to update! WAY TO GO TEAM!!!!!
Dana! Very nice work!
I find it funny that your 3.2c overclocked to 3.6 is less then 100Mhz from the 2.4b that I sold you that did 199FSB :)
How is my old sweet heart? :D

hehe that is ironic, my ti4200 should last me twice that long :D anyway nyapheng, once my abit nf7 comes, I have a shot at 16k marks. yes I know funds can be tight at times. If you wish to hit 16k too, youll need an slk-800, an xp2100, fast ram(even single channel) and rivatuner. use a lodbias of 3, this will boost your nature fps a bit. you have a major advantage with your ti4200 clocks, mine does 290/600 :(
Yeah, I kinda thought the 3.2 would oc higher but 3.78 is the highest I can get it to run but have stability problems here and there. 3.6 runs perfect though.Quote:

The 2.4 is doing fine although it's home for now is in the Dell 400sc that the 3.2 came out of so it's stuck at 2.4:(
I'm kinda suprised that the 3.2 is about 2000 marks better than the 2.4 was with only a 100+mhz difference:confused: guess it's a combination of the 225mhz bus,hyperthreading,and dual ddr that did it.
I think all he needs is better ram and the slk... he doesn't really need an xp2100 since bartons can blow away tbreds any day... btw whats lodbias?Quote:

Ok guys, I'd like to welcome the newest member of the updating team, MIKEYSG!:):)
So now either myself, Pyro, Colossus, or mikeysg can update your score for you.:)
Thanks, I just hope I'm up to the challenge! ;) I don't know what V man had on his mind inviting me to help out, he's obviously slipping 'cause he doesn't seem to know I'm just about the laziest member here!:p :DQuote:
Guys, don't expect instant updates from me, I'll have to 'unlazy' myself first before even thinking about updating.:p :p :D Just j/k, I'll do my best!:)

Ignitionator's barton only gained him 100 marks over the tbred he had. It was 30MHz higher but 6MHz fsb lower. That doesnt seem worth the gain of switching to a barton. If I got a barton to oc what my tbred does, id gain only 200 marks, but id gain nothing if it doesnt oc as good. He can still keep the barton netherless, just needs to oc it more. lodbias is to blur the IQ
That's becuase my FSB is fuked up!! :(Quote:

Ok you just said it, his barton gave him 100 marks... and since nyapheng already has a 2500+ why would he want to get a 2100+ and lose that 100 marks... All he needs is an slk800/900 plus some hyperx 3000 or higher and he can hit 2.5GHz on airQuote:

well dangit guys...i am way to lazy...and it is finally getting cold here...about time to go for a bit of a push on my overclock and get some new scores!! oh...i also need to get unlazy to format and install win2k and see if that helps any...but dangit...i'm just way to lazy....
