The higher clocked card makes a huge difference (as it does in 3dm03 as well)

For that bench my card was @ 624/960 I belive, my memory is just about maxed out and my CPU does not have much to go before it does the same...

Those are high numbers for each of the respective components, now unless you are running your stuff at or near those numbers, you cannot compare your system to mine in its current config.

I am curious as to which bits of your sytem you think are better in some respects to what I am currently running ?


Show me your specs and what you were running them at when you benched, also what drivers you were using and had you manually set up the drivers in control panel or did you just run them "as is" in default install form. There are and can be a whole host of reasons as to why your score is not closer to mine.

The race for quality has no finish line- so technically, it's more like a death march.

I got a measly 17xxx from the p4t533-c

About time to upgrade. I am waiting on the next gen of video cards before I pay. I want 9800 pro speeds for less than 200$. Thats my goal.

Interesting.

I checked the top 40 results and of those top 40 I see exactly 5 NVIDIA cards.

The top one I saw was ranked number three but it was SERIOUSLY overclocked.

Can someone explain to a poor ignorant girl (my fair lady) exactly what I am missing?

Cheers
Well there are now 2 in the top 10, but only 20% of the top ten doesnt seem very impressive. I would have thought it would be more even but who knows, all the lads in the top 10 have SERIOUSLY overclock CPU's and GPU's so...

Gamer see my profile for my specs unless yours have changed since the ones on yours then i beat you on a few few yours obviously better clocked. ive got 46000 out of it now with a few bios amendments, and thats running my card at stock speeds could probably get a whole lot more from clocking the card like you say gamer, but it produces artifacts at even a small overclock, maybe runing to hot ah well, but these are only with Pixel shader 2?. i'm happy i suppose should do me till R400

OK, my video card is definitely underclock.

Here's what I should have: 325/580 and here's what I really have: 324/290!!!! What do I need to do to test this PCB at it's rated speed? This might be a RMA.

RMA? Is it an ATI 9800 non pro card? Those are the correct speeds. 324 core and 290 (580 ddr) mem. Is that what you meant?

I can't read your Aquamark url since I have no login for the page and don't want to sign up.

That is not what ATi states on their site.
http://www.ati.com/products/radeon98...o/compare.html

It's a 9800np that thinks it's a Pro (probably due to a bios mod-purchased the card as open box at Best Buy).
