Hey all, i have a Tbird 1.2 Ghz SocketA under a Asus A7V Mobo w/ 256 PC133 RAM, and a old GeForce 2 MX from Creative Labs running on Win 2000 Pro, i runned 3dmark2000 and i got 4126 Marks, in 3Dmark2001, 1886 Marks. I think they are bad scores for my machine. Want to know another opinion. Soz @ my bad english

no these are normal scores :/

if you want higher scores, get better RAM (DDR) and a better board (ATI 8500 or GF4)

I basically have the same machine only w/ 512 MB Samsung SDRAM and a Gigabyte GF2 MX. I run in the mid-3000s on the 3dMark2001 test and considerably higher (I forget how high) on the 3dMark2000 test. You should get the 29.40 or 29.41 drivers. They don't do as well on the 3dmark tests but they seem to be better in OpenGL. Also, take off antialiasing and v-sync in your driver properties. Mine is overclocked to 195 MHz core/ 185 memory. I need a system fan or gpu fan or RAMsinks so I can o/c it more . I've also done a lot of other stuff in the registry, system configuration, bios, etc. which I wouldn't recommend doing unless you know what you're doing. Under 2000 on 3dmark2001 is horrible.

With my old GF2Mx & Athlon 1.3/100FSB, K7T Turbo, 256 MB ram-I got around 3000 i think in 3dmark2001

Guest, what's your OS ?

I downloaded det 29.42 and i got better performance, but not so much, here is my newest compare url: http://service.madonion.com/compare?2k1=3612671 , not sure if vsync's off, how can i disable it ?

My last runs on 3DMark2001/2000. I could go higher if I turned my texture levels and shit down, but where's the fun in that ? When I started out, I was running 2400s back in May or April, I think. 600+ points is a pretty big increase, eh ? Well, I don't think I had it on 4x AGP, so that might be it. I experienced a 4-point drop on the 3D2K1 SE going from the 28.90s to the 29.42s. Nothing to be concerned about since these seem to run OpenGL better.

Oh, and get DirectX 8.1 from
http://download.microsoft.com/download/w...1NTeng.exe

I have DX 8.1 and dont why it is not showing up @ 3dmark2k1 but it is installed.. I'll try installing win9x os, err.. a problem the only way to install win98se/winME is uninstalling win2k/formating ? help

Forgot one thing, i have 3dmark2k1 Original, not SE, its the same thing ?

Unless you have a GF3 or GF4 Ti, it doesn't matter if you have the original or the SE version. Not sure about which Radeons have pixel shading.
