Ok...I overclocked my Card from 250-332 all the way up to 300-376. Supposedly. And I only got 45 in 3DMark03....



??...

3dmark 03 is best-made for directx9 cards...
mx440 doesnt run directx9 well...
try 3dmark01

[bigdawgfoxx]

Well I dont know what my scores were without the overclock in 3d01 lol...oh well ill run both and tell ya the diff...

Is my card really running that fast?

[DWk]

could be.....

first of all read what it says there

Use caution when adjusting these settings

you can mess up ur card this way...be careful...

what mx440 you have? 8x or 4x? SE? SE-T?

[bigdawgfoxx]

Its an SE, and PCI

I dont think I could get my card up that high..it just has a small heatsink..I do have 3 fans blowing right on it though..but still thats a HUGE increase...but thats what the software says its at.

Ok I got 1731 with it overclocked alot and 1696 on stock settings. For that much of an overclock thats not many more points....

[DWk]

1731 with that? oh wait...u have a 533 celeron, right?

just wondering cuz i get 4000+ in 3dmark 01

[bigdawgfoxx]

yes that is correct, but with an overclock of that much shouldnt it be better?

[DWk]

dont think so...

in my opinion (from my experience)... benchies have to do A LOT to do with the computer you got..... cpu & ram...

lotsa ppl say it doesnt matter...but it matters to me

Your right on this, Your best piece of hardware is only as good as your worst piece.

MY MX 440 in my signature would blow away a 9800XT in your Celeron setup Dawg on alot of tests, because your CPU/Ram are killing your scores.
