3DMark2001 SE result

[Supermachoman]

These results were attained with the stock drivers. How much of an increase would I potentially see by switching to the catalyst drivers? Are they safe to use? If so, which one is the "best", 3.6, 3.7, 3.8?

Thanks guys.

whatever you do, dont use the 3.8! also overclock your video card if you want 21k

best combo for 2k1 seems to be dx8.1 and the 3.2 cats for me:)

Catalsyt 3.6's worked the best for me, but i havent really noticed much of a difference from 3.7-3.9

Pretty much the same scores for me in each of those drivers...

same here, no matter what driver I use, the 3.2s always nd up giving me a couple extra hunderd points

I prefer to use customized drivers from Omega... I run a 9500 Non-Pro and was just able to score 18,576 with stock cooling.

I use the 3.8's and they work ok, but I'm switching to 3.9's tonight. I have a feeling that the 3.8's don't allow overclocking of the CPU as high as the other drivers.

same as nimrod0031 suggested, 3.2's everytime for me. Get that XT overclocked man!!
