My 3dMark03 score! LOOK!

[Joker_927]

I'm very proud. This is with mipmap, texture preference and everything set on full or "quality" in my video driverssection and all the setting put on default in 3dmark.

YIPEE!!

I wonder if my score would go up if I got more ram. I got 512 now.

Oh yea.....

Radeon 9800 Pro

What kind of scores do you get when you drop the settings for performance?

[Joker_927]

that is a VERY good question.... testing....

[Joker_927]

I have CuteFTP running so I didn't want to restart. I also have had my computer running for that past....20 hours at least.

I will run it again when I have a chance to reboot, but there were the results as of kust a few seconds ago...

Thanks for the informative post! I appreciate that. LOL. :D
In your 3dMark 2003 screenie it says you're running a Duron at 2205 MHz, what's up with that?

[Joker_927]

The reason for the period is because I added all my system specs to my sig.

I have no clue why 3dmark registers it as a Duron. Windows says 3200+, and 3dmark01 says Unknown at 2205 mhz.

see?

Did you overclock your 9800 pro before you had the system watercooled or was it always watercooled cause I ordered a pro and I wanna know how high I can get it with stock as risky as that is.

No. More RAM won't give you any performance increase in 3dmark score. As 3dmark does not require over 512MB RAM, not even close.

Well, first, I gotta say the overclocking is all random. The first 9800 Pro that I bought would not overclock past 405/700 which sucks! And this was WITH the watercooler on it. Well, that card broke on me a week later, and I took it back.

This new card overclocked to ~420 on the core with the stock cooler. Not too shabby. These Radeons put out a TON of heat, too. With the water cooler on it, I got the core to get to 450.

Not that both the stock heatsink and my waterblock ONLY cool the core. So the memory of my card right now is doing 744mhz without ANY cooling on it, not even ramsinks. Again, my old 9800 pro' RAM would only do 700, so a lot depends on the card.

Hope I helped. PS did anyone look @ the cool little pic I made in my sig?

Yeah, I noticed the sig. That Duron thing is weird though.

so basically its all trial and error I'll see what mine can do when I get to play a bit
