Is this a good score?

My graphics card is an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro. The rest of my specs are listed below in my signature. My 3DMark03 scores was 4935. Is this good and how does it compare to people that have the same graphics card?

Did you try some compare function that I am pretty sure the program gives you. Allows you to compare scores to people who have systems almost identicle to yours. I am pretty sure thats a good score though.

I score about 5700 with my system:

9800 Pro w/4.9 Catalyst Betas
P4 Northwood 2.8GHz 800MHz FSB
1GB PC3500 Corsair XMS LL
P4P800 Deluxe
Audigy2



So, I'd say you're looking pretty good.

That score seems low to me... a 9800 Pro should be hitting between 5300 and 5600 at stock speeds from what I've seen but i could be wrong... i have seen them as high as 6200 but i guess thats overclocked.

One thing i always recommend is to check your mobo drivers... my 3dmark01 score jumped from 10k to 13k when i updated mine with my 5900XT.

Hm. Could you enlighten me as to how to update my mobo drivers? I went to ASUS's website and couldn't figure out where to download driver updates.

http://www.asus.com.tw/support/downl...%20SE%20Deluxe

Edit: Seems that the drivers there are outdated, try the Hyperon drivers at: http://www.viaarena.com/?PageID=2 it says its for all the VIA chipsets.
