W00T 6K! =D

<br><br><< <i>Just ideas....you don't keep us up to date with what you've already done!</i> >><br><br>Haha... Don't worry, once I find that <b>special</b> tweak that gives me like a billion 3DMarks I'll let ya know! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0"> Most of my previous tweaks don't do much for 3DMark so I gotta start from scratch again. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif" border="0">

[Colin]

Score in siggy. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> Well I still haven't figured out any real tweaks, that's just hardcore overclocking. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif" border="0">

[Colin]

? No one cares? <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif" border="0">

[JLAudioFan]

I'll care as soon as i download 3dmark2003 <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0">

Kewl JLAudioFan! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> <BR><BR>3DMark03 is very videocard limited so don't be frightened by your score! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif" border="0">

[zaltec]

I dled 2003 but forgot which drive I had loaded...and didn't have enough space to save it, so I have to re download it. Then I might have a score.

I'll just wait and see =) I downloaded it yesterday at work and burned it on a CD, but I forgot it here yesterday... I was preoccupied with trying to get out of the parking lot and getting home <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0"> damn snow... I had to shovel quite a bit to leave lol

[Colin]

Oh man, I love Canada, but I hate snow... <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif" border="0"> <BR><BR>JLAudioFan after you finish teh test make sure you post a url for us! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif" border="0">

one of these days i will rip all my hardware out of my computer that isnt needed in order to run .. then i will benchmark and see what i can come up with lol. but i think i am pretty much limited in score with what i have now. i am gonna work on some more tweaks. <BR><BR>the same services tweaks that where done for 2k1 work somewhat if you all are interested.. you can gain probaly 50-150 more points depending on how big your tweaking balls are in the services <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif" border="0"> <BR><BR>i am also running pretty much a stock registry at the moment .. i will see what kind of tweaks i can pull up out of there for you all some time soon.

[Colin]

Pimpin Joe, I usually do a clean install with all my tweaks and such then ghost it to an image... I guess I'm lucky cuz my test rig is not my main computer! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0"><BR><BR>Sometimes I think I should test with my TH7II-RAID instead... It's an awesome overclocker, I can get it to 160+ MHz FSB!

[JLAudioFan]

ouch. I got an 880 <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif" border="0"><BR><BR>http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k3=241702<BR><BR>i'll try again once i get my new case/power supply... if i oc it too much right now, the power supply overheats and the comp shuts down <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif" border="0"> <BR><BR><BR>oh yheah... WTF is the 4th test? For some reason it skipped over that test... I guess my comp couldnt handle it... especially after seeing 5.5fps on the 2nd and 3rd test....

[JLAudioFan]

haha... im silly.... I forgot that I had AA and AF enabled... got a bit better of a score... 1597. That's with the new release detonator drivers... but when I installed them, my tweak utilities went away...<BR><BR>I could do better if I could adjust my core/memory settings <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif" border="0"> <BR><BR>link:<BR><a target=new class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k3=257740">http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k3=257740</a>

JLAudioFan Game 4 requires DX 9 compliant hardware that's why you can't run the test. Only currently the Radeon 9500/9700 class of cards can run it and it makes up for a huge percentage of the overall score.<BR><BR>Still, you got a pretty good score for a GeForce4 Ti4200! Try using RivaTuner to adjust your core and memory frequency.

[Polykranopalous]

I'd care, but that takes too much energy up

Haha... Your card is still an awesome gamer, don't worry about it! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

With a PS2 who needs a PC for gaming? It's all about the benchmarks<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"><BR>I say you need to get the Gigabyte board<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> As long as you don't mind splashing $250+ USD on it...or somewhere in the neighbourhood of 40k¥.

[Avid6eek]

Colin....I think if you had a good 512MB Module of some DDR433 your scores would be higher. I know in general you can get 256MB modules to OC more, but I think you could get a 512MB Module to run at the 438Mhz speed you got there. Expecially considering that WinXP eats up quite a bit of RAM, and 3DMark2003 is getting to be a bigger program. Another thing I would try if I were you is to overclock your VC even more...the highest you can get Windows to run stabley on, and then start 3DMark03 and start blasting your VC with compressed air. You'll probably need 2-3 Cans to get you all the way through the benchmark, but with these two suggestions I think you could make 6100.

[Colin]

Shiznit, I thougth so too, but I tested it out recently and having more memory does not help the overall score because 3DMark03 is so videocard limited.<BR><BR>Haha, who said I didn't already do that! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0"> LOL, I'll need to voltage mod this baby if I want more out of the core... I guess that's a pet project I can do over a wknd. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif" border="0">

[Avid6eek]

Just ideas....you don't keep us up to date with what you've already done!
