Does this 3dmark Score seem... too low?

I checked for AA and AF and it was disabled. Is my system being bottlenecked? :mad:

I simply have no idea what is going on as on my nforce 2 board I was getting 14k points....

Any help/input is welcome!

[ColtIce]

my first guess is you have it set to highest details.background programs maybe?there is no way you should be scoreing lower than me

*edit ive noticed with the 3.8's sometimes i have to hit apply to turn off aa/af then ok then apply again at the 3d screen to get the aa/af settings to stick

I dont think that's bad for an untweaked system. I guess I havent heard what the 64 is SUPPOSED to pull off, but I would assume that it would be about equal the 3200+ because there is really no huge difference in clock speeds on them (aside from the cache). Took me major overclocks on my 3000+ 400fsb to get 18k.

i use the cat 3.7's and I just tried it again at 800x600 and got 4000 more points :o I cant wait to get an XT and hopefully get 18k... that is my goal :mad:

[james.miller]

you should be doing much better than that. all scores are compared at the standard 1024x768 btw. even i get 17k @ 1024x768.

judging by your nature score, you have aa/af enabled. turn it off and overclock your cpu and you should get like 17k marks

I'm wondering, why arn't you OCing that CPU at least a little?
your scores should go way up.

i cant see the score as future mark is updating there server but id do what these guys say turn off AA and AF with system in sig and my G-card overclocked i nearly get 18k

[Overclocker550]

his nature fps is 47 I think. I get 85fps on my ti4200. he should get like 120fps in nature, as for your 18k you must have a reeeeeeeeeeally high video overclock since my cpu owns yours

[Steven4563]

my gpu core was at 380mhz i think and my ram was at 314mhz (618mhz DDR ) your cpu might own mine in mhz but my fsb is 32mhz faster

[Overclocker550]

nice, wait till I grab an a64 and ill eat your score with a ti4200 easy :)

[Steven4563]

LOL u make me laugh with your ti4200 i had one i love it i sold it i got a 9700np and i love that

with your A64 system u turn on AA and AF and now u are in shame coz off that ti4200 :P

[Fuzzy]

grrr..... it says I have it turned off.... what the heck is going on.... im not running any other program that would interfere with AA/AF as I just formatted and have like 3 programs installed :(

[Steven4563]

what is your score all at stock speeds also have u got the motherboard drivers installed and what ATi dirvers u got installed

[Fuzzy]

score at stock speeds is in first post.. about 11k. I have everything installed for mobo and I use 3.7 cats.

I dont OC my cpu yet because my system isnt stable. For the past half hour I have been trying to get my system to run 3dmark again. It keeps freezing :( A64 is giving me nothing but troubles but I still love it :(

[Steven4563]

could it be your ram thats making it freeze ???

[treepop]

hrmmmmm......it might be your ram...and your saying it is having stability issues...this might be hurting your score:(?

[Fuzzy]

it was stable before, i was able to take 3 tests right in a row :/

My ram could be freezing? :o I havnt even tried tweaking my ram.. :/

[Steven4563]

yes but what timings u got your ram run it at looser timings and see what happens i dont think its the athlon 64

[Fuzzy]

ok. just got home, running it at 6-3-3-2T then will loosen timings. Hope it works.

muched more pleased with this..... I'm pretty impressed and happy... time to OC :D

Oh yea and it was the ram.... at 6-3-3-2 it froze and crashed... changed to 9-4-4-2.5 and it runs like a dream. Thanks everyone :P

Futuremark and 3DMark are evil. If you are happy with your performance in apps and games I wouldn't even worry about it.

[Steven4563]

nice fuzzy, never blame AMD unless your 100% sure its there product lol

[Overclocker550]

thats more like it. now you need new ram then overclock everything and you should get 22k marks :)

[Steven4563]

can u run at 2.5 - 3 - 3 - 7 timings try that :)
