3D Mark 2001 Scores

Hey, I was just curious and wanted to see some of all y'all's 3D mark scores...
I get around 5400 but I think it should be higher...

I'm on an Athlon 1.4mhz 256mb DDR PC2100 ram, Elsa Gladiac 920 GeForce 3

Maybe I'm getting jealous of the people on Madonion.com that have their cpu's and geforce chips o/c. I still think my system is running slower than it should. How long should counter-strike take to load the server? It takes over a minute and it angers me. lol... guess maybe I was expecting more than I got.

running a MD 1ghz geforce2mx 400 64mb
and getting 3760 for benchmark results. However, i do have the CPU o/ced to 1066MHZ rather than 1000MHZ, but i don't think that it makes that big a diff.

Asus A7V266 w/ 1.4G T-Bird and Radeon 64DDR, I average in the low 4000.

Funny, my Appian Jeronimo Pro PCI card in my studio shouldn't really perform well in a 3D test, but on the same mobo/CPU combo it gets in the high 3000.

good god! 1700 with /that/ type of specs? hmmm....ok, first thing...check how many things you have runnign in the background. That alone can eat your machine piece by piece
Also, try doing a defrag, that might help
Get the new Directx and Detonater 21.41 drivers....they will help, generally a lot
other than that, i can tell you how to tweak your machine, if you want. Right now i've got a 1 ghz Athalon and geforce2 mx 64mb with benchmark of 4000 now...

Talking

Just thought I would make all of you feel good:

Soyo SY-6VBA133 MB
Slot 1 P3 800 (8 x 100FSB)
384 megs of RAM running at 133
Voodoo3 2000 PCI

3dMark2001 score---915 !!!! (and that was at 16 bit cause this voodoo won't do 32 bit textures!)

Looking at getting a Geforce2 GTS, the 32 meg DDR one, cause I can't really afford anything more at the moment.

That's OK Jenni, My other computer has an 8Mb Rage Pro All-in-Wonder and dual 12Mb Voodoo2's in it and it only hits something like 600.

Here's mine..

Hi,

I get about 6800 with my specs. Not overclocking or anything, although I might at some point. Not in a rush for now though..

Cheers,

Rob

Hi Dead-eye,

I'm using the default resolution in 3D Mark 2001 for the standard benchmark. If you're getting a low score, you could try upping the refresh rate of your monitor to 75 Hz, seemed to work for me.

Cheers

Rob

Yes, not bad for 3D Mark 2000 or 99 but there's no way you got that from 3D Mark 2001 with a Celeron and an MX. (Unless you had the resolution at 640 X 480.) If you truly got that score, then surely you won't mind taking a screen shot of the results page showing your processor and the resolution and color bit-rate and your 4000+ score.

Well, I think that either games are nowhere near as demanding as 3dMark, or they are prejudiced against Voodoos. Because my V3 2000 still kicks butt in most games. I get 40-50 FPS in UT in 1024x768 (16 bit of course), don't have any problems running games like NFS: Porsche Unleashed or Quake3 or Counter-Strike, and this card is what, 4 or 5 years old at least! Granted, I have noticed a big difference in "jaggies" between my card and my brother's Geforce 2 in Counter-Strike, but not in any other games. Hehe, we were playing the other night, and I was on a rooftop. The roof across from me looked like sharks teeth it was so jaggy, lol.

BTW, Tiretool is right, No way are you gonna get 4500+ out of a MX200, or even a MX400 for that matter. My brother has 2 MX400's, on with TV out and one without, and he gets around 2300 with basically that same hardware, an o/ced Celeron and a huge amount of RAM. And he is an endless tweaker, believe me, if it can be done to the card, he has done it!

I got 6284 on 3D Mark 2001 -- 32 bit 1024x768-- I am not familiar with using this software and wanted to see for myself how fast a system they built me. Like you, I was expecting a score much higher after seeing all those other scores with comparable systems. Am I using the 3D Mark 2001 software correctly or should I lower my settings and resolution ?

IS XP home edition slowing things down and how do I fix the frames refresh rate problem I heard about. What settings do I use to not hurt my monitor??? its a NEC 19" FE950+ -- I already have the xp detonator drivers updated which helped my Open GL games tremendously and probably helped Quake III also.
Any help is greatly appreciated !
thanks, Rommie

I only ran one test at 1024 x 768 32-Bit and did not think to shut down all my services and such. I got 6200, which is good considering all the money I put into the thing (specs listed in specfest thread). Some of the animation, especially that "Nature" one, is absolutely amazing. I would even consider killing to be able to do something half as good as that.

Respectfully,

Demosthenes

I normally average around 6500 with my computer: 1.7gig P4 with geforce 3 and 640 mb of ram. A few times, when I shut everything down but windows and the benchmark test, I scored 6850, but this isn't normal and usually after a reboot. When I ran it with 4 pass fsaa, I scored a 2850. I have a friend with a voodoo 5 that will not run half of the tests.

LoL. My comp was down for a week or so and I was browsing on the forums and to my surprise, my thread is alive and kicking! Anyways, I've switched back to Win9x and things still run chunky. I haven't reinstalled 3D Mark 2001 cuz I dont want to hurt my own feelings again. In CS, the server connection never loads on the first try, always takes 2 attempts. Even games like Worms: Armageddon have video lag. Something is not right and I dont know what to blame. My computer does not boot particularly fast and applications aren't lightning like I'd previously thought when I was fantasizing about this system. I would think its my OEM processor and now I'm glad I paid an extra $29.95 to extend my 30 day warranty to 1 year. Maybe I'll send it back. Games run great once they finally load... getting around 400 fps in Counter-strike (dated engine, I know) at 1290x900x32 in OpenGL mode. Anyone got any idea why this thing runs like my K6-2 550?

Increase your ram to 512. That could help with load times. I have a friend with a P4 1.7 gig like me, but with only 386 in ram compared to my 640; I normally beat him hands down opening apps and games. Yes, we race our computers.

I will probably be buying a new harddrive and I guess some more ram... but I remember when CS came out, I was playing on an AMD K6-2 350mhz 64mb SDRAM PC100
I would think this would be plenty. I agree getting more ram will help, but should I have to? If there is a problem, I'm getting screwed performance wise anyhow.

Any ideas?
