Hallo

I have an easy question to answer I hope.
I have a msi TI4600 card installed in a brand new 2.53 Ghz machine on the agp slot and so on.

In 3Dmark2001 I get 8292 points. Everything on default. Late drivers from nvidia 40.72 I think it was. I have also tried earlier drivers with worse result.

I´ve heard and read that I should get something like 13000 points.

There is one thing though that makes me suspicious.
In properties for display it says: Bustype: AGP- (PCI-Mode)

If the agp card acts like a PCI card then it makes sense. In 3Dmark it is only AGP 1 x available. I have 3 image link to show you how it looks:

Picture from my display properties
Picture of my computer details from 3dmark
The test result from 3dmark 2001

Thanks guys!

there i some rules when doing 3dmark here ya go

1:in your display driver panel turn every thing down/off such as turn AA off turn AF off vsynch off turn fog off

2: start up 3dmark run demo at default which is 1024x768 32-bit color compress textures z-buffer 24 bit frame buffer double and rending pipeline to d3d pure hardware and T&L with AA set to none

if you follow this you should score between 11,XXX threw 12,XXX

well that sounds a bit low, you should get like 10,000. if your cpu was 3GHz youd get 11,500

Somtimes reinstalling the drivers helps. I have found that those are the culprit more often than not.

To the man who comment agp rates:

Excuse my french but I got one of these ****ty IBM motherboards. I have no such luxury like agp settings.

The agp 1 x is THE bottleneck I guess, if it really is 1 x. Are there any other ways to determine the agp speed?

You can download rivatuner.

i fliken "graphic subsystem report" you'll be able to see the supported AGP-modes.

What mobo do you have?

If you have a 128Mb card the 1X AGP wouldnt be THAT bad.

Has no one suggested installing Via 4-in-1s yet???

I'm almost 100% sure this will solve the problem. The Via 4-in-1s have the AGP driver inside.

Doh! You're right Durin. I was looking at his sig.

Anyway, the same argument still applies: installing an AGP driver will fix the problem.

What kind of motherboard do you have Mortdog?

Where do you get an AGP driver?
Is it included in the MB-drivers or in the detonators?

I've never intalled a specific AGP-driver, as I know of.

He should be getting OVER 13000...
I get 12934 and his system is faster than mine...

make sure you have the latest drivers for your graphic card and motherboard. Or try a clean install...

Mortdog needs to let us know what motherboard he's using.

AGP drivers usually come in the form of a northbridge driver, if I recall correctly. The last three motherboards I used scored exceptionally poorly after a fresh Windows install. I was getting ~7000 on an Athlon XP 1600+@2100+ speeds and a Ti4200, but installing the driver put it well over 10k. Same thing happened with my P4 rig.

i have a ti4600 and i was getting mid-low 13k, and about 3 weeks later i try 3dmark again and i get 7900. i asked around and found that when i reinstalled the drivers i was back up to 13k. give that a try, it cannot hurt.

Sounds to me like you have AA and / or AF on....that is the kind of score you would get with an optimized setup and AA on.
