2009 in 3d mark 2001 ............ !?! UPDATE jumped to 3132 with new VIA drivers !

[CorCentral]

Okay I just downloaded the free 3d 2001 benchmark & got a low score of 2009 .

I have everything at default ..... 1024/768 32bit color etc.

Specs are as follows . (no overclock)

AMD 1200 266fsb
MSI K7t Turbo
256mb Mushkin rev. 1.5
Elsa Gladiac 32mb Gts


Should this score be so low ? If not , what can I do to improve it ?



Also , take a look at this

Install your Via4in1 drivers if you haven't yet. This should dramtically increase your score.
(you should be getting in the 3000-3500 range).

I'm pretty sure I loaded them already .

Is there a way I can tell otherwise ?

Ok , I just downloaded the ones that were on MSI's site ......... I believe 4.31 .


It boosted my score from 2009 to 3132 !


Thanks for the tip ............. I did'nt think the VIA's made such a critcal improvement

It is impossible for the MSI K7T Turbo to get up past 3300 dude, I had one I know. Maybe just maybe if you o/c the living hell out of it.

I used to get about 31XX back than with the same exact vidcard, in fact I'm using the same one right now and got 3787 with my currect setup.
