Just got into the 17k mark!!! 17k club

-Hawks :wink:

I want to join your club, allthough I only get around 12K :)

I haven't OC'd anything, thought about starting with the radeon, how? :)

My two months old result : 8)

Two months and you havent improved?

I get 17.5k or 17.8k but it wasnt publishable. My score is also around the same age old. I am seriously concidering Vdd modding my 8RDA+ to get in excess of 204Mhz FSB, I know my memory is up to it.

Rico,

Bro, what vid card do you have, 9700 Pro? If it is then download Radeonator 2.0 and/or Powerstrip. Powerstrip will allow you to manually increase your Engine Clock and Memory Clock speeds. It works well!!! :wink: Here is a link to walk you through software modding a 9700 Pro into an 9800 Prohttp://forum.ces3d.com/viewtopic.php?t=36. Both the powerstrip and the softmod should bring your scores up. What are all your sys specs? Maybe I can help or point you in the right direction to help get your rig humming.

Here's the specs!

Rico,

Sorry about not replying in a timely fashion. If you are only get 12k something in your system is bottlenecking it. I'm not very familar with AMD's so, about what equivalent is your processor to in P4's? 2.2 gig? or more? Anyway, with the Radeon 9700 you should be getting at the minimum in the 15k's. It may very well be your RAM. Also, go into your ATI control panel and set all settings under OpenGL and Direct3D to the far left => performance. That may help if you haven't already done it. Let me know how it turns out.

Maybe it's the omega drivers? I will try with catalysts tonight.

Rico,

Que Paso'? I thought used forced the 3.2 cats for the 9800(Softmod 9700Pro->9800Pro)? Why would you be using the omega drivers?

-Hawks :wink:

Nope. I'm going to update the firmware now, and switch back to Catalyst 3.2 and softmod it. We'll se what happens :)

Same old crappy score. I don't understand! Even when I overclocked to 360/330

You could start with upgrading ur processor and memory and even the mobo to NF7-S v2 - since it must be fool proof to get over 200FSB on this board with the right memory. Carefully research the memory compatability with the board, or memory overclockablilty with the board even.
