3d Benchmarking

I wouldn't buy an XT anyway, they are way too expensive for a small performance increase.

What do you use to overclock your Radeon 9800 Pro? I have a utility that came with the card (it's the Hercules version) but I don't know if it is any good.

No it does not! SC has a MSEE and understands things like low DB case fans (plus there on a reobus that is built into the case so I can turn them up/down when needed, there is also a thermocouple to put where you desire, which I jammed in the memory.)

The only thing that sounds like a beast is the 5.1 speaker set-up.

I use the Rage3D util.

Again Atitool and powerstrip are good ones. I haven't tried the Rage3D one yet.
You can get them all at major geeks.

I wasn't thinking about the fans, I was seeing the

You should try Aquamark 3, PH.


I just patched my Radeon 9500 to a Radeon 9700, and the result is astonishing:

I jumped from a score of 21,135 to a score of 32,751. And it didn't cost a penny more.

[Zopperoni]

I ran the 3DMark 2001 test as well, just for kicks. I scored 13,508.

it's been like two years since i benchmarked with 3dmark:

athlon 1700xp+
geforce 3 ti-200

all i remember is that i got to within like 200 pts of the max possible with an athlon 1700xp so i stopped, i belive it was like 3.6k at the time, max anybody got was like 3.8k.

lemme try aquamark.

[da_hal]

10,331 with aquamark.

heh 3dmark 2001 won't work with dx 9.0.

[da_hal]

I have issues with mine too. I'm getting a new computer in four months, so I'm not going to bother switching.

The Raptor is surprisingly quiet. My older comp has a 30mb 7200rpm drive that is a lot louder than this one. I do not know if this is the reason, but I put dampening washers on the screws when I mounted the drive.

Does anyone else use PCMark04?
