Default Benchmark ATI Radeon 8500 (3DMark2001)

[Dissolution]

This is as default as it gets, I started 3dMark2k1 and then hit benchmark. So its settings are whatever it defaults too. My question is, is this good for my system. Because I want to upgrade to a new mobo/CPU combo if possible. Something with good overclocking ability, and solid gaming performance, and DDR memory.

And here is a link to see what the details were.

Thats very impressive seems as you have a 700!!!!

If you get a ghz+/DDR mem combo it won't be nearly as "bottlenecked" and your score will shoot to around 8000!!! (Thats with an 1800+)

Make sure you get DDR as well, I just did the swap and everything is twice as fast, espicially games. (Loading times.)

Oh yeah DOWNLOAD the new ATi Drivers for your card that enable "Smoothvision" you done that haven't you.....?

yeah I used the new ones, in that benchmark. As far as what i should check and uncheck on the Video Card itself I'm not real sure. This is my first ATI card and still trying to get familiar with it.
