GF 256 32ddr and 3dMark2k Scores

[surfinguru]

Hey everyone, just wondering if 5569 is a good score for a GF 256 card.
Test was 1024*768*16.
CPU was 7*137fsb=959

Thanks

run it at 1024x736x32, ill get a better idea of how the score is...

3DMark 2000, not 2k1, right? If so then your score should be quite a bit better IMHO. My GTS and Celeron566@961 combo gets 6000 in the same test, at 32 bit color instead of 16 bit.

If that is an SDR card, then yep that score kicks butt. But a DDR card should be faster.

yeah 2k, NOT 2k1. Um, DDR too, but it's only 32meg. That score was from a while back. Can't remember the divers i was using at the time. I'm on 21.85(?) right now. Im at work so I'll have to wait till I get home to run it again at 1024*768*32 and verify the drivers. If I can remember right, I think it's clocked at 133/333. So what should I be getting score wise and at what o/c?

[funnyperson1]

try the 22.50 drivers when you get home, they gained me like 200 points.....also you should get a lot better because the det 4s make a big difference you at 1024x768x32 you should get the same score as you did before with 16 bit color......

okay: 1024*768*32, 22.50 drivers, 133/350
score: 4579.
Is this average, or should i be scoring better?

well now that I see your card's clock speeds, it looks like your score is probably about right. That should be plenty fast enough to move just about any game at a good speed.:)

Default settings are 1024 x 768 x 16 for 3dmark2000 and those scores are good. Try overclocking it for a higher score. Here is my score from the past with my old system and older DET. drivers. But before you look , this was with the old drivers (6.18) , P3 700@1008 , and video card (ASUS V6800 Geforce DDR) clocked at 150/360.

Hey guys, thanks for the replies. This card is pretty maxed out o/c wise. I found a few screen shots of some previous tests using the 12.60 drivers at 1024*768*16 and I scored like 6k and some change. Not sure how I pulled that one off?!? Also, can someone tell me why my cpu isn't being tested? It recognizes the processor correctly under "system information," but fails to test it. I think I'm losing about 400-500 points because of this.
Thanks........
