IS that a bad score?

 

[jeri534]

ouch thats pretty horrible..in Adventure low I get 150+ fps on my 1.1 GHz with a MX..i get about 5700 plus scores..wut drivers are you using?

 

[acexg1]

1074? Try beating 687.

 

[aznmist]

Yes that's a very horrible socre for your system..tweak it!

 

[fkloster]

<< ouch thats pretty horrible..in Adventure... >>



Adventure is in 2001, this post is about 2000 score...

 

[Ryan]

Well, i've never tweaked a video card .......... I don't even know where to start.

 

[Ryan]

Should I redo the benchmark with the newer version of sysmark?

 

[Snoop]

Something is Definately wrong with your config. My K6-2 500 with a voodoo 3 will do aroung 1300.
What motherboard are you using, do you need to install the via 4in1 drivers?? Or maybe the AMD miniport driver?

no its not..adventure is in 2000..

It's a system from gateway .... here's my specs:
Processor - AMD Athlon 1200MHz w/Performance Enhancing Cache Memory
Memory - 128MB SDRAM
Monitor - VX920 19 Mitsubishi Diamondtron¿Color Monitor
Audio/Video - 64MB DDR ATI Radeon VE with TV-Out and DVI, SoundBlaster Live! and 10/100 Ethernet card
Operating System - MS Windows Millennium Edition
Mobo - ?

 

[S0me1X]

what is a 64MB Radeon DDR VE?
You mean Radeon DDR Vivo?
or Radeon VE (Radeon VE's are pretty crappy 3d accelerators)?

 

[Dark4ng3l]

Come on you need the via 4in1 drivers.

Tried installing the VIA 4 in 1 drivers?

 

[bigd480]

damn.... I get ~3600 with p3 700@933 and a Viper II in 3dmark 2000... 1024*768 @32bit

 

[bigd480]

could be something w/ the mobo, what kind?

also what's the VE Radeon? no HyperZ?

 

[Ryan]

here's my mobo: http://www.gateway.com/support/techdocs/references/motherboard/0aawv/251314626.shtml

Are you sure I can install the 4 in 1 drivers?

 

[Ryan]

Where can I get the 4 in 1 drivers????

 

[SaturnX]

VIA Drivers

Everything you need is right here.

shouldnt Gatway alredy have installed them?

 

[arod324]

From his posts in this, it says that he has a HIGHER score in 2k1, than he has in 2k!!!! He has a 1074 in 2000, and a 1480 in 2001. That is really strange and I don't know what to tell you, since your score in 2001 should be MUCH lower than yours in 2000. Anyways, you should be using 2001 to benchmark and compare, since it is pretty much the standard now. You should be getting about 1500-2000. I get a score of 3000, and I have the Radeon DDR LE (that is hacked and tweaked). But the Radeon VE is a SEVERELY CRIPPLED form on the Radeon, so I'm not surprised you get only about 1500. However, your 3dmark2000 score is a very strange anomoly.

 

[Ryan]

Ok, I did a fresh boot and got a score 1996, which is higher, but not where I would like the score to be. Should I install the drivers???

 

[Ryan]

What should I do to tweak it?

 

[Ryan]

Ok, I have done a lot of tweaking over the past hour. I have pushed the speed to 185mhz from it's factory OEM speed of 168mhz. Should I try and push it higher?

 

[arod324]

I think you've probably hit about the limit of that chip. I believe that the ram chips on that card are 6 ns, which means they're spec'ed for 166. However, you could try 200/200, but I dont' know how much more of a performance upgrade you'll get. I think your score is about in the range of other VE's now.
