Scored a 5090 today with my 7500 @ 342/522 with cpu at 10x @147 fsb

http://gamershq.madonion.com/compare2k1.shtml?2313195

Using the new leaked beta driver for the 8500, I have since switched back to the an Om,ega 1086 tweaked driver.

Sure this card can crack 5400 with some more tweakng, just have not had time

BTW how can you have your link appear as a word , for example check my 3D Mark2K1 score "Here" how is that done??

It's the perfect amount, anything higher just sits there

Try going down to 384 and see if you get a higher 3dmark

You're slightly misinformed my friend. Windows 9x/ME will only address up to 256Mb effectively. Anything over that can be used but not efficiently. An NT based kernal (2000/XP) will use all the memory you throw at it efficiently, including the PageFile.

That is interesting. Do you have any links for additional information. I don't understand well memory usage of operating systems but to my knowledge there is no such limits as 386MB or 256MB for windows 9x's. There is internal limit of 800MB for Vcache which can cause problems when more than 512MB of physical memory is installed (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q253912 ). To my knowledge and experience all the memory up to 512MB can be used - I am currently running Windows Me with 512MB memory.

I can understand that 3D Mark (or some games) doesn't use all the memory available but how could it degrade the performance?

I know this is not about 3D2001 results but interesting topic for people seeking better performance and results.

I don't know how it could degrade performance... but if it does, there is probably some official article about it...

Karsta

12-30-01, 11:17 AM

I haven't been able to find one so far. Documentation from MS knowledge base doesn't seem to have such information. According to one of their articles (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q304/9/43.ASP) the limit is 1GB for Windows Me and 98.

Violator

12-30-01, 11:25 AM

My point being, is that Win9x/ME will only effectively use around 256Mb (it may be 384 but it still brings the point to the 9x/ME systems). Yes 2000/XP have a 4Gb limit but they use any memory they have (and above 256/384) efficiently, much more so than 9x/ME. I haven't seen too many people running more than 768Mb 9x systems with 100% stability and it would be a total waste anyway.

Getting back to my initial statement, I was saying that the memory limit only really applies to Win9x/ME, and it does not apply to 2000/XP. They will definitely benefit the more memory you have.

Karsta, Violator's last reply explained it already. No need for detail reasoning, just follow their rule. Win98 series are proven to be suck in managing memory to be utilized in optimal way. Those OSs are stupid.. I mean dumb. They don't know how to effectively and use the RAM anything higher than 256MB of RAM. 192MB seems to be the best spot for Win98 series. It is the OSs like the Windows NT series, 2000, and XP series are the ones that fully and most optimally utilize the extra RAM, as much as you want to add to the mobo. You'll just have to accept this law of Memory Management With OSs (MMO) hehe.. I made that abbreviation up :D

Karsta

12-30-01, 12:04 PM

OK

There seems to be no drop in how effectively 9x operating systems use memory. It is just that it is not needed. 9x systems are possibly stupid in memory management but one can adjust page file, Vcache and swap file size manually. I understand that Windows 2000 and XP may be better in memory management but it does not turn those claims of 9x limits correct. Also 98 and Me (at least for me) are good gaming/home use operating systems still.

edit: Thanks jstnomega for a good link. Saw it first after writing above.

Wasn't it you who brought up the whole 384Mb limit in the first place? :)

Anyway, in respect to that article, it's mainly focussing on how much better 98/ME is at handling larger memory amounts than 95 ever did. This is pretty well known. Nowhere does it mention that an NT based kernal will quite happily put it to shame.

Basically (from my experience and many others I know) there is little or no performance gain increasing from say 256 to 512 RAM in a Win9x/ME environment. Doing this in an NT based OS will certainly yield better performance.

Karsta

12-30-01, 03:43 PM

Not in this thread. If I have said something like that earlier I don't know:o Anyway I've learned a lot about memory today... My concern was if adding memory could decrease performance, not to defend Win9x systems against 2000/Xp. I will upgrade to either one of those when I get a good reason (better memory management is not enough and Me is working fine for me).

What comes to 3D Mark 2000, more than 256MB memory does not increase performance if there is enough free memory to start with (about 190MB for my previous setup). Memory allocation for 3D Mark 2001 was well over 256MB as I just measured it (although having some applications running). I think that neither benchmark will benefit substantially memory exceeding 256MB if there is nothing else running (which there obviously shouldn't be).

But from experience I know that memory over 256MB (or 384MB) is used if needed and it has some benefit. Actually Windows Me needs quite a lot memory to satisfy its needs.

NewbiePerson

12-30-01, 05:06 PM

Sorry I didn't quite give enough info
3 sticks of 128mb of memory
Judging from what people said about the video card deal
32mb being about the same if not faster than 64mb (same chipset ram speed used and all) Because programs don't need all of the ram right off and it takes longer to read 64mb, so i'm assuming that the same would apply to ram on the mobo
I guess xp changes that though somewhat
still though 2 sticks of 128mb is faster than one stick of 256mb
I believe that bandwidth efficency is increased by two sticks of 128 rather than 1 stick of 256.
oh well

I managed to up the 2k1 3dmark from 7071 to 7218 by pushing the Ti 500 to 265/575 with 23.11 drivers and half decent quality. I think that is close to the end of the road for this Pos4 box without roaching the image quality. More ram might improve it slightly, but I ain't shelling out for RIMMs at the ridiculous prices they're going for now, especially when I just loaded up with PC2700 DDR for the 1900+. The Pos4 will get the old Riva 128 back once everything for the KR7A-R is here. Koolance case and 4 ATA133 drives arrived today, getting closer and I'm getting anxious for the mobo...

Realistically i think i need another 50mhz on the CPU to do this though :)

I think this gives me the top AMD Athlon under 1.61 ghz (not XP) for all Ti200's, all i can say is that Leadtek is one great card..

I'm after "Dracula" for the top Athlon any clock, however he can bench at 181fsb whooo.

I got 3201 with my GF2MX at 210/197. My GF3 ti200 should be here within a few days, so I'm sure my score will skyrocket. I keep my MX at 195/192 for normal purposes (not at 190/190 like my sig says), but it's stable at 210/197. The problem at that speed is the heat. It increased my case temp by about 4C.

And also in unlimited Ti200 this puts me in 8th place(some of the guys below me are using over 1.7ghz on their XP's..)

I think maybee 9100 is possible but i'm reaching the limits of both the Athlon and GF3 Ti200' hardware.

Hi

I just discovered this forum a week ago and I'm having a blast reading all the posts.

I'm not a graphics card expert nor a computer expert, but I love my system!

I'm playing with:

PIII 800
512 MB PC133
Leadtek Winfast GF2 Ti 64MB
SB Live!

I finally got around to running 3Dmark2001, and the results were: 2882 @ 270/451 using the OC program that comes with the card. Display settings were @ 1024x768x16.

Compared to some of the posts, my score was pretty low or only marginaly higher than some of the cards in my category. I'm not too comfortable yet with changing fans and adding heatsinks to my card, and am nervous even to use the OC program it came with.

Also the default "Critical Temp" was @ 172F/78C. Is this right? or should it be lower to be critical?

I'm rambling on and on. Will have more questions. And thanks!

I'm quite the newbie on OC. Trufully, I'd rather read, post and learn more before I attempt to OC my PIII or install new heatsinks and cpu fans. And the info I'm getting here has been extremely cool! I'm learning new things everyday from some of these posts.
My next step will be to upgrade the driver to the Detonator and see what happens.

By the way, Happy New Year all!

Ok how did you do that. I have a Xtasy 5564 with 64m.b. ram running at a speed of 200/173( so far ) and can't get any higher then 2100 something. What program did you use and what are your speeds.

Gimps

01-11-02, 01:10 PM

Well a couple differences between your system and mine might be key. I have a P4 1.7GhZ running at 1869MhZ. I also have 1GB of PC800 RDRAM. That might explain some of the difference between the scores. My video card is clocked at 230/192, but that will go higher once I get some better cooling on the card.

Finally slapped a GF3 Ti 500 in the new box to see how far I could get with the 1.4 Athlon CPU.

9191 was absolutely as far as I can get no matter how much I tweak and beat on it. It's about 500 pts below what I was hoping for and that's with a 120mm fan BLASTING right at the underside of the GF3.

After somehow roaching an Xtasy Ti 500 replacing the ram sinks I am not real hip on pulling them off the PNY Verto. The PNY does have ramsinks which are about twice as beefy as the Visiontek and I do get about 6mhz more out of the ram clock with it than I did on the Pos4 with the Xtasy, but I know better cooling will let me push it even further.

I wonder how much improvment I will see with the XP1900+, I'm hoping to get better than a 200mhz OC out of that chip.

Hey deathstar13 that's more like it!

I couldn't easily find a tweaking guide for you but I know there are several if you search for them (one at icrontic forums if I remember right).

Things I see most important are:
-close all applications from background before benchmarking (leave systray and explorer on)
-overclock as far as you can without artefacts or instability. Especially high display card o/c and FSB are good. Disable fast writes if it makes system unstable at higher FSB's.
-use tight memory settings at bios cas 2 etc. You can loose memory settings if it helps to go substantially higher (to overcome ras to cas delay set from 2 to 3 I have to raise FSB by 4 MHz)
-set picture quality to best performance or for somewhat better results use nVmax or something like it to set LOD bias adjustment over 1 - this is a matter of your taste, some people see that high LOD bias adjustments are cheating because picture quality can go really bad. LOD 1.5 is a maximum for me.
-there are several other things also Vsync off (or actually auto will do it) etc.

for the price i think the Radeon32mb DDR is better as is the GTS because the KyroII does not have any Hardware T&L which will cause trouble in newer games....

Sweet my Gainward ti200 came!
With everything at default exept for video card (which is running at 200/450) one a freshly formatted drive with xp pro
I get a score of 5086
That is with a 850mhz pc100
Ok get this just raising up to pc133 running at 1ghz (multipler lowered to 7.5) I go up to a whoping 5856!!
It is unstable at a 140bus but im gonna try disabling the fast write like darth said thanks for the tip
now here is the good part. Just overclocking the core and memory by only 5mhz at a time I get about a 40point increase.
I still haven't made any bios tweaks as I sat that back at default.
The highest score I saw on madonion with a 1ghz t-bird was a tad bit over 7000.. He had a different driver though...
I have the newest one released by nvidia.. anyone know of any super optimized drivers? I heard they comeout with released ones like every few days
Here is my compare link
http://gamershq.madonion.com/compare2k1.shtml?2449709
What do you guys think? If I can get the bus up to 150stable do a few bios tweaks lookinto more tweaks, overclock the card a little more
think I can get up to 6500? Also which would give me the biggest boost going to ddr or getting a new processor?

well if i was you id get a good ddr mobo, and either get an xp or wait and get the 2200+ that'll be out in the next month or so..
you could get like the 1ghz tbird with a good stepping,.. some of those can hit 1.4~1.6ghz it all depeneds on how much perefornce you want and $$$$$ you have.

With some more bios and GF tweaking I managed to hit 9551 2k1 default 3dmarks.

The PNY Verto responds really well to cooling, I'm now ramclocked 24mhz over my highest stable speed with the Xtasy Ti 500.

I think I am just about at my limit for 3dmarks @ 8x200 and macci still has me by 100 in the 1605 and under mhz class at 32bit, but he's using a Radeon 8500. I may have to get me one of those to test, they seem pretty tough to beat for the all out numbers game. Of course macci tends to pelt and wc his configs a lot. I'm thinking of setting up a GPU waterblock using the snow bucket trick as I don't have any pelts yet.

I backdated to 22.80 lat late last night and haven't worked that driver to death yet. A number of people believe it is faster than 23.11, but I am not seeing quite as much performance from it so far. I did manage 10212 as a low res 16 bit score on 22.80 without optimizing the tweaks for 16 bits, prolly can gain a lot more on that res.

I'd say with good cooling that GF2 TI or ULTRA speeds would be obtainable... what is your vid cards ram rated at? Look at the chips to find out... should say something in ns or just put up all the numbers and stuff on one of the chips and we'll know if you don't.

What do you get in 3dmark 2001? Adjusting the voltage supplied to the agp slot doesn't do much with modern graphics cards as the power is regulated on the vid card before it gets to the mem and core.

Nope, I haven't done that, but I wondered if in some way, it was due to 23.11 drivers not being signed. (that's the one thing about XP that really ******es me off)

And as far as the clean OS install, the way I screw things up, I figured that I would be reformating pretty soon anyway! :D

I installed DX8.1, 23.12, KR7A bios 6N and changed the mobo to 8.5x188 CAS 2 and I've lost 80 points in 3dmark 2k1, so far.

I have futzed around with so many reg settings, drivers, 2 mobo bioses, bios settings, GF3 clocks, cooling and gawd knows what else that I am starting to think I might be better with a total wipe and reinstall from scratch!

Can anyone explain why it appears that 8x200 FSB CAS 2.5 is apparently faster in 3dmark 2k1 than 8.5x188 CAS 2? Heat generation seems about the same as does the "feel" of the performance, but I lose 1 to 3 FPS across the board.

I also installed a lapped P1 heatsink with AS2 on the GPU, a 50mm fan on that sink and two 40mm fans on the ramsinks and got 1mhz of core clock and no ramclock for my efforts. I have a 120mm shooting right at the GF3, but I would have thought the 5x sized lapped heat sink with AS2 would make a goodly difference in OCability all by itself. Maybe I just have a crappy GPU on this PNY card, it won't do over 274mhz without freezing 3dmark. I went further than that with the dead xtasy, but could only do about 585 on the ram clock and the PNY does 604 all day long. Both cards have 3.8ns ram.

So I'm still stuck with a best of 9551 at default 3dmark settings. Maybe it's time to toss the 1900+ in and go for 10K+...

*Yes a clean install will help you score higher

*On the memory ,what that means is your memory is erroring at cas 2 therfore slowing it down ,the reason your memory goes higher on the PNY IMO is the 6 layer PCB they use ,I have a ti 200 ,234/534 is my best so far.

Well it was a clean install a week ago when I built it :)

Sandra memory bench is a good amount higher at 8.5x188 CAS 2 then at 8x200 CAS 2.5, I would think that the speed increase would translate to a higher 3dmark score.

I'm not really surprised that the Verto vid mem clocks higher, the ramsinks are dramatically larger than the Xtasy 6964. I'd really like to get the core clock up to 285 to 290 though. I may put a waterblock on it with a bucket of ice water just to see if it is cooling limited.

It may clock higher in sandra ,but under stress it may be messing up and causeing you to lose in 3d mark.

well yea... it was hard gaining an extra 100pts last night..
and if you noticed i lowered the mutli on my board and upped the fsb... and i cant do 154 like i thought i could.. so my overall cpu speed is lower then what if was when i had the 23.11 drivers.. so if i could get up to 1617 like i was be4 with these drivers id probly gain like 30pts or so..

GeForce 2 Ultra OEM

280/495 Stable with stock cooling :burn:

3DMark2001

3975 marks

I can clock the card higher but my scores start to decrease after 280/495.

Time to go buy that GeForce Ti200 and overclock the **** out of that:cool:

well if you could up the agp voltage then you'd probly gain some more points, ot by trying different drivers..
i had the same prob.. untill i upeed to voltage to 1.7v.. then i got these new drivers 23.12 and now im rolling :burn:

Unfortunately my mobo is OEM *cough*dell*cough* and so there are absolutley NO voltage options :(
