There ya go Pyro, sorry about that again...:)
I missed that thread. :( but did you find out what the problem was.Quote:
I didn't realize I had slipped to fifth in my class. Also my post count was getting dangerously close to my 3dmark score so here we go:
14829
CPU: AMD XP Thoroughbred B
Stock Speed of CPU: 1733Mhz
Overclocked speed of CPU: 2539Mhz
MotherBoard: Epox 8K3A
Ram: 1GB Kingston Hyper-X pc3000
Video Card: Gainward GeForce 4 Ti 4200
Stock Core of Video: 250Mhz
Actual Core of Video: 315Mhz
Stock Mem of Video: 444Mhz
Actual Mem of Video: 599Mhz
Cooling Used: SLK-800 w/Tornado; Home Brewed Copper Pipe Caps on Video Card
Your scores with links: 14829 http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k1=7003313
So Colossus if you could please update this. Looks like my still #2 for AMD's and 4200's, darn Barton's. Perhaps I should try different drivers. When last I benched 40.72 were my best ones for my system. Anyone got recommendations on faster ones?
Updating you right now! Come on, you can do better then that...Quote:

Sadly it would take me atleast a year to match my post count to my 3Dmarks... (if I dont update or upgrade for a higher score :D)
Great work! Nice to see some update from you :)
sapasion, I have found that the 42.82`s are the best drivers for me benchmarking with XP.
Yeah I think this is my first 3DMark run in 6 months. I know drivers can make a big difference, but I also don't care to spend hours on end testing ten to fifteen different sets. I knew 40.72 were very much above average so I used those. However, clearly with a better set I should be well over 15K I imagine. My cpu is head and shoulders above most people in my class. Admittedly, though most are running nForce2 mobos. Still, I'd love to merely swap drivers and gain 500-800 points. If anyone knows what's faster than 40.72 post it please. BTW, I do know that the last two offical nVidia drivers are not faster 45.23 and 44.03.Quote:

Yeah your score beat my old record by 5 points and I had to push. I checked the front page for AMD & 4200's at FutureMark but no driver was repeated more than two or three times. The top 20 scores came from like eight or nine different drivers. If the SF community does not chime in further than I'll probably give your suggestion a whirl. BTW, have you personally tested 40.72 v 42.82?Quote:

I also noticed your FSB is higher then your prior run, but your raw speed is lower... You are about 70Mhz lower then your prior run.. Is there anyway to push it one notch up on the multi? :)
Yes, I did and the 42.82`s were a lot better then them on my system, I got that score with Win98se and the 43.51`s. Also one thing that might give you a boost is by going to win2K, AMD systems seem to do better on it then XP.Quote:

Well I gained a new client today... And over the next 2 months she will buy about 25 workstations from me.. And possibly a server...
So I see a 3.2/3.4 and a prommie in my future :D
Not yet. 2.54Ghz is about my max during this time of year without you know what ;). Certainly colder conditions will yield me higher marks but for now I'm going to try and find better drivers I guess.Quote:

Colossus, air cooling is where the action is, theres more competiton.:DQuote:

I won't be switching OS' that's for sure. Remember I have little need for 3DMark. However, I think I will try your 42.82 suggestionQuote:

hehe, Well I wont get much more from my video card.. IT is already maxed out with the stock cooling.. So I was thinking of using the prommie to cool that and keep the CPU air cooled.. Since now I dont even break 40c!!!! :) at full load...Quote:

I know air is where its at... But if I want to be a real 3DMark team competitor.. I need to get a little more extreme :D
Hope they give you the boost you need, I`m not going to be doing much benching myself right now until I get my 2 sticks of Baffalo Tek next month.Quote:
