ati 9700 pro / with catalyst 3.1 drivers

p4 2.53 @ 2.85

512 megs of ddr333

asus p4pe motherboard

2 80 gig wd special edition hard drives

lian-li pc6083a case

antec 430 power

pioneer 16x slot load

hmm... your score seems to be a little low ... i got almost the same hardware that you got and i benchmarked 4625.... so you migh wanna check your pc for problems...

where would you suggest to look.

everything ( as far as i know ) is fine.

games play great, full detail with no problems.

things did seem pretty choppy though during the 3dmark2003 benchmarks.

i adjusted the settings for my vid card to be set at optimal performance and turned off things like vertical sync and trueform.

any suggestions ?

i thought my score seemed a little low. :blush:

Well i read somewhere probably on Neowin that 3DMark03 is geared towards shader performance and directX 9 stuff and all that so the GF4 series wont be up to the challenge as well as a GeForce FX card would be. Dont be bothered about benchmarks they dont really show real world performance and thats all that matters.

You want to spend ?1000's just so you can get a higher benchmark score i have one thing that you should ask yourself "Do i have a life?"

Every time I've executed 3D Mark (now and in the past), it's never NOT depressed me about my current hardware setup.

I got 1081 marks. :wacko:

Then again, my processor is nearing 2 years old :) And I'm not looking to upgrade. This app is just what computer makers LOVE.

Scored a mere 4512 points : http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k3=17512

:laugh:

?! How the hell? I have a faster CPU than you and I even oc'ed my 9700 Pro to 350/680 and you have double of my score...?

I did notice that our BIOS version for 9700 is different... can that have anything to do with it... mmm

1479 3DMarks

Athlon XP 2100+

1GB DDR 2700

VisionTek GeForce ti4600

Windows XP

I understand the whole DX9 issue and why Nvidia cards score lower than the ATI 9700s, but I'm still seeing a lot of people with slower CPUs, less RAM and older GeForce cards beat my score. Thought it might be because I'm running a dual display, but disabled that, and the score remained the same.

mine gets 1487 3DMarks

and i have a 1.5ghz p4, 640mb RDRAM, and a GeForce4 Ti4200

i will give a compare link when the site actually works...i tried to send it but it says their server is down...

Yeah, I couldn't submit my results. Perhaps that's what I need to do to show grafXguru how 1337 I am with my "fake, photoshopped" score...

9000+ = instant e-penis...

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval by David Uzondu Image via @realDonalTrump (X) As OpenAI prepares the release of its next model, GPT 5.6, the White House has instructed the company to limit the distribution of the software to a small group of government-approved partners instead of the general public, as it has done with previous releases. According to The Information, OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman sent an internal memo to staff on Thursday explaining that the federal government will approve access "customer by customer" during an initial preview phase. Altman noted in the communication that this restrictive rollout is "not [their] long-term model" for software deployment, and the company plans to work toward a "more sustainable" distribution method later. CNN said that both OpenAI and the Trump administration view the capabilities of GPT 5.6 on the same level as Anthropic's Mythos and that government officials intend to "collaborate with frontier AI labs to develop shared approaches for addressing the challenges of scaling this technology." The latest restriction comes just weeks after the US Commerce Department decided to restrict Fable, a version of Mythos with extra safety "guardrails" to prevent users from exploiting software vulnerabilities. Not long after the release, though, researchers at Amazon found a way to bypass these restrictions, prompting an aggressive response from federal authorities. The government ordered Anthropic to cut off access for non-US citizens located outside the US, non-US citizens living inside the US, and incredibly, even Anthropic's own foreign-born employees. Anthropic now appears to be building a workaround to resolve this compliance block with an update to its Privacy Policy that introduces a category called "Verification Data" to handle KYC and Digital IDs. This setup could mandate digital identity checks to filter users by nationality, requiring a government-issued ID and facial biometric data. Who knows? Maybe in the future, you would have to scan your US Passport or State ID to prove your citizenship before you are allowed to chat with Fable 5 (or any other model).
    • When Windows 7 was released I created an AutoHotkey script that uses Alt+` as a keyboard shortcut to move a window across monitors. I have been using that script for over 15 years and this is the first time I have come across another app that uses the same shortcut!
    • I called it last year that they wouldn't end support when they said there would. There are too many people still on Windows 10 waiting for something better to upgrade to and 11 ain't it! The recent promises of fixing Windows 11's many problems is nice, but unless they deliver on those promises in a big way then I expect customers will still want to stick with 10.
    • Full ACK. I went too far adressing your post specifically. And as you said, it up to us customers as participant of the market dynamic as it happens to decide whether we spend our money on a product or not. The responsibility is to the company. In case of this price hike one could assume that MS is expecting or even starting to see a new interest in XBox hardware so they want to avoid losses per unit sold. I find it fair enough that they granted a period in which everyone interested could grab a unit for the current price (Amazon.de has a reliable stock of XBox Series X digital, which I bought last December after having sold my day one Series X a year ago). It is not that they cash up their customers starting on Monday. Cheers and let's cling to our perfectly fine hardware as long as we deem it worthy in relation to purchasing something new!
