3D mark 2003 help

[mazdarx7]

i have an ati radeon 9800 pro, but the highest mark i have got was 3850. i looked at futuremarks result browser, and this is about 1400-1500 3d marks less then other users with similarly equipped machines. can anybody help me?

YIKES, that is one low score!

Time to reformat and try again, my 9600XT got a better score than that at STOCK settings.

I've realized my score is low cuz my cpu bench part of 3dmark 03 is pullin it down. for example if I only run the first 4 bench I get 5700, but if I ran the 2 cpu bench that follows I get 4500.

so I guess it really depends wat ur cpu is at.

i dont have the registered version of 3d mark, so i cannot disable the cpu test.

wow, you can jack up your score like that??? Im so buying 3dmark03 pro!

btw, what is your CPU score? if it's less than 300-400, then try upping your fsb and lowering your multi.
