  • 1.1.0.80 is faster than 1.2.0.31 ... and !!

    I got two issue about Parhelia's test results..

    First, 1.1.0.80 is a little faster than 1.2.0.31. I had tested under same environment with each drivers and the setup is below ..

    1. 225 / 610 bios hacked with 1.1.0.80 driver

    3D Mark 2001 SE v.330 score = 8503 ( with default 1024x768)

    2. 225 / 610 bios hacked with 1.2.0.31 driver

    3D Mark 2001 SE v.330 score = 8411 ( with default 1024x768)


    Second, I was checked Bios default clock of my Parhelia retail version.. My parhelia has 217MHz core / 542Mhz memory clock !! I think that is intended downclocking by Matrox for its stablity..


    what do you think about this two issues ?

    well, my 2ghz p4 actually runs at 197x-199x mhz, it is pretty normal that chips fluctuate a bit in the clock-frequence.

    I wouldn´t worry about it.
    This sig is a shameless atempt to make my post look bigger.

      well I looked at my MHz of the parhelia and I got the exact same tact as you got

      I have modded my parhelia with extrta heatsinks on my memory but I cant run at 600 I am stable at 592.
      The core is total crap think need to put a big blower on it I can get 2 mhz more out of it (that's 222)I dont cout the other 3 Mhz has to run at 220 save.

      my 3dmark score is 8860 its a good score but I had a ati 8500 with a higher score so I was a bit dissapointed about the score but when I play game I can set the resolution higher and the detail to and still it plays beter then the ati 8500 so I think 3dmark isn't that good for the testing of the newer cards

        minor clock speed variations is one thing, but if the bios isn't even set to initialize the correct clock speeds thats another thing.

        created a new thread about it anyways.... not like the 3mhz is that big of a deal, but....
