My Aquamark Score

[_John_Lennon_]

Hehe, couple things, One, I have a Barton, and if you look at some of the 300+'s and 3200+s, they are set to a 400FSB, so the bartons really do have the head room. I just set it to the 200FSB, which is only capable if you have atleast 3200 Ram, (or really, REALLY high end 2700 or 3000 ram I guess.)

As for the Multiplier, I run it at 2300 All the time, but as of late I have been having problems running Folding@Home with it, and it even tells you when it crashes a Work Unit that overclocking is a possible cause.

Also, my Vcore, is stock. 1.65V I believe is it. Besdies, my Board is the Ultra 400 version, and it can easily go up to a 250FSB, if I gave it a bit more voltage, and some better Ram.

I have found out the hard way in this Computer building that you get what you pay for. (Thinks of his 16MB PCI card, his 7500 Radeon, his 2.2Celeron, and Locked P4 Board.)

Oh and btw guys, was overclocking a bit, here is my latest benchmark.

My new one, I was raising the memory a bit more

36`612.

Im going to overclock the memory a bit more, but I can overclock the Core anymore because im at the end of the slider. Anyone know how to get a longer slider, like you could do with the coolbits program for Nvidia cards buy using that Simpsons tweak?

Oh yes I do. Download and install riva tuner if you haven't already. Did you try the radclocker yet?

I know its a Nvidia util but you still can overclock the Radeon with it very well.

Oh, and I wanted to show you that 38,000 is what Anandtech is getting with his 9700 Pro

Aquamark3 is a cool piece of software, with some pretty neat tests, and a high score in any benchmark can still earn bragging rights in the forums. The only Aquamark3 test we ran was the publicly available 1024x768 4xAF noAA in order to maximize the usefulness of these numbers to the community. Our drivers were set to allow application control of AF and AA.

Well thats good. I started getting some de pixelization, so I backed off both sets a few, going to download some more stuff soon.

From what I know you are supposed to max out the memory before you turn up the core.

But you got a huge performance enhancement by overclocking your card. From 27,000 to 37,000 is a big difference, the range of 30%.

Hi,
After reading some of your scores I thought I'd give Aquamark3 a try
only to be dissappointed to score 18,490 on average over 3 tests!!

This is my computer,

P4 2.53,
Windows Xp,
Asus P4S533-E motherboard,
512Ram DDR,
Maxtor 80 Gb HD,
Winfast TI-4600 128mb Graphics card.
Using Omega 45.23 Drivers

No overclocking at all.

Do you thinks this score is reasonable for my set up?
Or do you think my graphics card is a bit dated now because of Direct x9 etc.?

What, if any simple tweaks can I give my set-up for a bit of a boost?

Cheers!
