2524 on mine. :)

Main specs:
AMD Athlon64 FX-53
ATI Radeon 9800 Pro
1GB PC3200 RAM

All at stock...nice CPU score though.

Heh, jamesclarke555's P4 beat it though :p

Not wanting to get the whole AMD / Intel debate started again, but surely there is something wrong with that calculation?

I can't believe I just read all the messages in this thread - Sheesh, I must be bored! :erm:

Anyway, nice weather we're having, isn't it?

Now got 4640 with a 5% overclock on the CPU, but my 3D score went down to 2470. :confused:

Re: 3DMark05...
 

Weird ... I tried reclocking my X800 back to PE speeds and my resevoir, radiator and hoses nearly reached boiling point ... I'm sure that's not right

Re: 3DMark05...
 

Bifta - you are using the XT PE BIOS arent you and not the PRO BIOS. I could'nt get anywhere near the speeds i get now with the PRO bios, only after i tried the XT BIOS was i able to OC much.

But your Watercooling heating up that much sounds - worrying - im stock cooling on my X800.

Just got the new AtiTool as well (0.0.23 Beta 4) which supports Find Max Mem / Core on the X800, and its looking like 546 is rock on the memory so far - so i might get a higher score still.

Not even tried find max core yet.

Re: 3DMark05...
 

That must be where I'm going wrong, I thought that the PE bios would automatically OC the card to PE speeds and wanted more control over it.

Where's the best place to get a working PE bios?

Re: 3DMark05...
 

Richard M, For a quick an easy score boost try the beta cat 4.10 drivers, they give around a 20% boost in 3rd score. Oddly my cpu score is unstable and was also affected by the driver update, on my first bench it got 4200 somthing with a large boost to the first cpu test, ever since i havent been able to get close to it, even with pushing the cpu harder and stuff. though second cpu test has gone up so the score is about equal there.

Interesting to see someone has got an alledged ti4200 to go through the bench and kick out simply a stunning score, me thinks its hacked though.

5684 now.

That's about as far as I can go with this processor.

Re: 3DMark05...
 

Go here -

http://www.techpowerup.com/bios/?sea...&Submit=Search

You will find loads of BIOS's for your card there. I dont think that any one is better than the other, although i am using the ATI BIOS (Samsung 1.6- 2004-07-15 17:45).

Good luck.

EDIT - YES the BIOS DOES OC the card to PE speeds - BUT - use ATITool linked to above and underclock it (forced) so that when windows loads it defaults back to the PRO speeds. Then use ATITool to find out your MAX mem and core speeds then use that setting instead.

There will soon be BIOS editors available that will let us hard code the clock speeds.

See my last post ;) (using the Powercolor XT PE bios, same brand)
