Poor scores in 3Dmark 2001 with XP2400
- Thread starter Geobronc

well... first... go into your nvidia performance setting. Change from Balance setting to Aggressive setting.
Always use the latest driver for your card, it helps. Also, when you run the benchmarks, make sure there is nothing, running in the background and also in the system tray.
Well all those above are the pretty basic stuff I can think of.

My memory is running at 2-2-2-6, which is the most my memory can handle. Also clocked up to 166mhz. I could try and go a little higher, but when I tryed 170mhz, the 3dMark 2001 crashed to desktop. I dont have any programs running while I run the benchmark either. I always benchmark after a fresh reboot of Windows also.
My Video card is clocked pretty high and I have the latest Drivers for Nvidia 40.72. I tryed using the best performance for the video card settings and got like 200 points more and thats it.
Is there anything else I am missing? Its really frustrating to not see higher scores. I am using the latest 3dMark 2001, which has 3 pictures at the end of the benchmark. Should I be using an earlier version of it?
Any other suggestions?

i had a similar problem. i was getting about 13.5k with my 1600 @ 1850 and a visiontek 4600 @ 315/700. then one day i decide to run 3dmark again and i am getting like 7k. i uninstalled the drivers completely and restarted. then i installed the newest drivers and viola 13.5k.
just try to reinstall the drivers, it will help hopefully.
try the new 41.09's they might also help. check madonion for them

41.09 if i'm not mistaken.
And your score is most low, I get 12K with a XP2000 @ 1.75Ghz and a Ti4200 @ 300/600 :|
