why do only half the tests on the 2001 have results? thats the first problem i see.. make sure your 2001 settings are all correct, and everything i selected. make sure you have the newest driver, and are you overclocking your geforce? because those cards love to overclock and give some really good results. my old 5900 i got up to 500 core and 975 mem on stock cooling.

He ran all the tests that determine your score, so there is no problem with that. Something is obviously wrong though with your 3dmark01 score. You might try uninstalling the video card driver and then reinstalling it.

got mad last night, formatted, reinstalled all with fresh drivers,
score is still about the same

I have no idea why, and no one else seems to know either, must be a glitch with my equipment and 3dmark or something...

I've never played with intel before so I may be talking nonsense but here we go anyway.the 2k3 and AQM scores look like they are close to what the should be so I think the video drivers are fine.now in 2k1 where the score seem low car and lobby scores appear to not be right.Do intel boards use chipset drivers?if so are they installed?how about your memory ratio is it set to 1 to 1?what about memory timings what are they set to?do you have dual channel enabled?

fresh chipset drivers (latest) this mobo doesnt support dual :(

mem timings are 1:1 2.5/3/3/5

do you have everything set to performance in 3d settings?AA/AF off?vsync off?

yes, everything to high performance, vert off, coolbits installed to clock the card,

basically I am lost at this point...

it scored about right in every other test, just not this one....

hrmmmm:(

[ColtIce]

have you tried a run of 2k1 with hyperthreading off?I only aks because everything else seems to be in order

tried it with HT on/off

NVIDIA driver versions,

43.00
44.03
52.16
53.03
56.64

all the same,,,,

personally I think it's a bug in the test...

It is hard to believe, but maybe your 3dmark01 score is being severely hurt due to SC memory and the relatively low CPU/FSB speed. Can you overclock your CPU/FSB/Memory any higher? Can you run your memory at 2-2-2-5? And you do have AA and AF turned OFF, right?

a P4 2.8c 800 fsb and 1GDDR400 is slow???????

here is a 3dmark2003 test I ran yesterday..

Main Test Results
3DMark Score 6068 3DMarks

CPU Score 608.0 CPUMarks

my box should be doin alot better than what it is in 2k1....

[unreal]

wow something is running in the background there..

[Steven4563]

i think its SC intel cpus love DC they need all the bandwidth they can get
