This is so frustrating. The max I can get out of 3DMark is 5,800. The Radeon 8500 with Athlon 1900 beats that

Maybe your video card just isn't a good make... mine is a Gainward Geforce2 TI450 (64MB)... a very good performer...For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence)Comment

Then why is it that my Geforce2 performs quite closely to your's?

I'm sure it's something to do with the ALi chipset - I've been looking through the 3DGuru forums and it seems to be a well known problem. Unfortunately the remedy means that I'm gonna have to use the 29.xx Detonator drivers, but it'll be worth it hopefully.Comment

Damn it, people. I had hopes this was a thread about Matt submitting to Asher, and that there would be pictures.

This is why we don't buy ALi, right Matt?Originally posted by MattHiggs

The best Athlon chipset vendors are: Via, SiS, AMD, then ALi bringing up the rear.
The best chipset maker overall is Intel though, it's one of the main reasons I prefer Intel platforms.

Right got the benchmark up to 6900. Still a long, long way to go.Comment

What'd you do? Update the chipset drivers?Originally posted by MattHiggs

You should also look at your AGP aperture settings, and check if you have fastwrites/sidebanding enabled."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Loaded dxdiag.exe and found out that AGP Texture Acceleration couldn't be turned on until I used the 29.xx drivers. Only problem now is I get booted to desktop or BSOD when I am running games/benchmark.Comment

Well I've come up with a temporary solution. Took the fan off my old heatsink (7000rpm) and just placed it at an angle inside my computer so it pushes air through my heatsink. The Athlon now runs at 45-50C and the benchmarking doesn't crash (unless I put on the sideband fast-write options on)
My best score so far is 8000 I suppose that will have to do as I can't see any more solutions.Comment
