Scored this with on a Epox 8RDA+ motherboard with 512MB Corsair XMS3500C2 memory and ATI 9700pro. All Air cooled. 8)

Ive got the same motherboard and 512 Twinmos 3700 Memory with a Barton 2500 clocked at 2300mhz (11.5x200), using also a ATI 9700 Pro (Not clocked), but i can only get 15843.

Can you recommend any more settings, that might help me up my score.

SHINODA :evil:

You might try
a) overclocking your graphics card (large performance gains).
b) clocking the memory some more and dropping the multiplier to compensate
c) it would be good to find what driver CiKoTiC used and what settings he changed. He could have set the graphics driver up for max performance with lowest image quality. I would suspect so seeing as this is about getting the maximum score.
d) make sure your motherboard drivers/BIOS are up to date

good luck

and here is mine score,little lower but not that bad,looks like that Barton helps a little in some tests

I have a really similar spec machine (see sig). I only clock the hardware and set image quality to max (without anti-aliasing or AF). 8) If you take a look at omega driver's site, he has really underwhelming clocks on his hardware but he must have really, really tweaked the drivers.

We don't know the core/mem clock for the 9700pro - this is more likely going to effect the result. Thats the good thing about 3dmark03 you can't hide your gfx clock.

Without knowing the gfx clock we can't say that the barton made all the improvements. I hope not since I just got a xp1800+ DLT3C JUIHB which clocks to at least 2500Mhz. Have it at 2400Mhz 24/7. More testing needed to find sweet spot voltage @ 2500Mhz with daytime temps.

Looks like this test has got worse for nforce 2. Is it used alot, apart from this benchmark?

CiKoTiC


Nice score with R9700 !!!

Well .. not much .. but Bloodrayne uses it,actually sometimes its 250 then 155 fps,something is wrong in 3D Mark 2001SE since AGP Sidebanding i have enabled all the time.)¨

megatron : well i run XP 1700+ at 12.5x200Mhz .. anything higher is unstable,more voltage didnt help (watercooled)

Another test .. code creatures
