My score for the default benchmark test was a 2652. I was wondering if that was a good score for my system?

My system is:
Athlon TB 800
Matrox Millennium G400 32meg Ram
256 PC133 SDRAM
CD-RW 8*4*32
Sound Blasters Live

running at:
1024*768, 16bit color, 16bit textures
16bit z-buffer, triple frame buffer
Have all the latest drivers

I have nothing over-clocked, 2652 seems like a low score from what I hear. Or is it a good score for my system? and if not what can I do to improve my score?

Oh and my MotherBoard is an Asus A7v
and I got my g400 running at agp 4x

Nope. That is about the right score as long as you aren't using a G400MAX.

What OS are you using??

I am using win98 SE

Sounds like a good score to me. I get 2485 or so in the default benchmark.

I'm also not overclocking, have a G400 32M DH, Athlon 650 on a KX133 board. I can really up that score (to 2800 or so) if I use MGA Tweak to overclock my G400 to 150 core, 200 memory. I don't have the cooling to support that overclock long term however, nor do I seem to need it in games, but it's there if I ever do..

Cheers,

Aaron

As this is a common question, ie "does my 3Dmark score look right" I think it's about time we got our own performance chart on the site. What we should do is decide on a set of test conditions for example if we take 1024x768 @ 32-bit etc. People can then mail them over to me and I'll draw up a performance graph.

good score..!
I get around 3100 but havy OCed
(PIII650 @864,G400 @ MAX settings FSB133 dont use this for LONG TIME palying UNSTABLE)

light OCed inrange 2800-2900

normaly @ the same range as you on MILL-G40032SGRAM PIII650 ASUSP3BF 128mb

hi all,

first merry Chrismas (i know I'm late, but doesn't the matter )

Don't forget the "16 Mo BOARDS !!! (G200/g400)" a 1024 at 32 bits is fine for 32 Mo.

So i suggest 800*600 at 32 Bits and 1024 at 32 bits

[Seaspray]

Sounds like a good idea to me. For your info I have the following (approx) scores with various processors I have had over the last year and a G400 MAX. Default benchmark settings (1024x768x16) with no overclocking:-

p3500 ~2500
p3667 ~3000
TB1G ~3400

Hopefully this will give others some idea of the scores they ought to get with different processors.

Incidentally the Intel processors seem to score better than AMD in 3DMark. I think its because the program makes better use of SSE than 3DNow, but I could be wrong!

In 32 bit colour the difference between the scores with the faster processors was much less

p3500 ~2150
p3667 ~2350
TB1G ~2500

Does anyone know why this is?

Thanks!

I get 3189 with G400MAX on ATHLON 1000 (not TB)!
How can i reach 3400? I don't think that the difference between classic ATHLON and Tbird at the same speed is 200 points, but more less!

My system:
ATHLON 1ghz (Magnolia core 512KB L2 1/3 core speed)
ABIT KA7-100 (TY BIOS)
256MB PC 133 KINGMAX SDRAM Tiny BGA
Matrox G400MAX (deafult clock)

My system isn t overclocked!

Ant, my Athlon 500@850 (1:3 cache latency) G400Max scores ~3200... OC'd 3335

[Electric Amish]

Ant- Might I suggest that the default bench be one of the stipulations, since not everyone out there has purchased it.

Also, full descriptions of systems, drivers, bios', and misc tweaks made...

Operating system is very important too here!!!
