Too low results?

[Miksu]

System: Celeron 583MHz, Matrox G400 32MB, 128MB Ram, Abit bx6/2, SB Live!, newest drivers, TurpoGL and Directx 7.

I think my system isn't workin on it's maximum speed.

Here are the results:
3DMark 2000 (1024x768x16): 1700 3dmarks
3DMark 99 max (800x600x16): 4000 3dmarks
Quake 2 (1024x768): 63.8fps
Q3 demo test (10x4x768x32 high): 27.6 fps

Hey Miksu,
I got almost the exact same set up. I have a celeron 466@583, abit bx62.0 and 128mb ram only difference is I'm using an oem g400 16mb w\sdram so I can't overclock it. My 3dmark2000 scores at 1024x768 16bit is 1760.
Check in bios that you have your cas to ras at 2 and cas latency at 2 also. When my cas to ras was at 3 I got about 1700.

Also is you agp divider set to 2/3 or 1/1? I got mine at 1/1, the g400 hasn't given me any problems at this speed.
Good luck!

Well I get 4600 3Dmarks at 8X6X16, remember though your FSB is is running at a lower frequency.

4600?? Maniac, you must have the fastest G400 on the planet. In 3DMark 2000, I get just under 3000 3DMarks with a Vanilla and a PIII at 800 MHz.

He must be referring to 3dmark 99 Max scores.

I just ran 3dmark 2000 on my 550E running at 733 on a BE6 with a 16MB OEM G400 running at Max Speed,
640X480-- 4226
1024 -- 3786

Also PD 5.52 will yield 5-10% lower scores over 5.41...

Nah, that looks pretty good. Without the SIMD extras of a p3 / athlon your celeron just can't pump the data fast enough....

Just incase though, please post you irq listing and slot listing of your mobo...


Not that its really relevant but I attended it2000 here in Australia on Thursday and the AMD stand had an Athlon 1000mhz/fic machine with an creative geforce ddr(I know...) I would be posting that here, but it was doing 108 fps @ 1280x1152 32bpp all high settings!

I then spent the good part of a half hour explaining that they would probably be gettin alot higher score if they used a different card that scales better. They were blinded by the hype...

Maniac,

Not for me they don't. I get an increase in performance.

I also get an increase from 5.52.

Alas, my score is 3390 at 667 and 3480 at 720. 3700+ ain't happening here, even with my Max at 173/216. Standard settings, right? That's an outstanding score, Rags. Any idea how you got it? What are the settings on your RAM? Mine are 2-3 (CAS to RAS)-2 at 667, and 3-3-3 at 720. That's probably costing me a few points, but can't be too many, probably between 30 and 60.

Are those scores at 640?

[sasa]

I have celery 400 o.c. to 450. With G400 I have 1520 3Dmarks (2000, defoult benchmark), and with GeForce I have 3220. Quake3, 1024 16 bit all highest with G400 36 FPS, GeForce manage 61 FPS. Those results makes me wonder why should I buy P3. I had P3 500 few weeks ago in my computer, and I was greatly dissapointed. Long live Celery!
