Radeon 8500 scores?

[xl]

In the "RIG #2" in my sig. Do those scores sound right? Its stock speed, etc... But most guys who got the slower gigabyte card get better scores than me, even with the 25 less mhz. I am using the 6052's, which were upgraded from the latest from ATI's website to have the same score. Please tell me if this score sounds about right (7738). Other than this, its a great card.

well that may be a little low but is about right....the Gigabytes are faster for some reason even though they may have a clock speed disadvatage...weird...

You can compare your results with mine here to get an idea

hhmm.. seems slow. I had the card and I got 10k 3Dmarks with my CPU at 2.6GHz.. and the card at default..

does 3D mark SE lower scores?

Just replaced my Geforce 2 Ti with a Radeon 8500, 20 minutes ago. (RMA'd the geforce back to MSI as it is totally screwed up).

With all system specs at default, I just scored 8125.

Now to see what happens as I oc. (I can also finally test the WCing now that I have a vid card that works).

I think the problem is my HD's are only ATA66. Also, this RAM won't run at CL2, so maybe the 2.5 and ATA66 combined to take off 500 points. ::sigh::

And yes it will go way faster. http://service.madonion.com/compare?2k1=3203193 8974

Your HDD speed won't make any difference to your score. And your score seems about right anyway for your CPU and since you're running at stock speed.
