In regards to the percentage, I am just guessing, but I thought I was being more than generous. I really cant identify any DX9 scenes. Run 3dmark2k3 real quick, and look at the textures. You can see DX9 all over the place. Then run 2k1, and then aquamark3, they look very similar in textures... Tryit and reply back please..

i agree not to mention in most of 3dmark03 i get 15fps LoL unlike this aquamark

See what I mean. I crawl down to 5FPS in some spots in 3dmark2k3. The lowest I go in this one is 24 maybe 25fps

Actually, I think he is on the right track. It should be exactly 13.3%. Here is what I understand to be correct:

There are 39 pixel shaders used in Aquamark3: 30 of which are PS 1.1 (DX7), 5 are PS 1.4, (DX8) and 4 are PS 2.0 (DX9). Hence, the 13.3%. Therefore, if we go by the numbers, it is a DX7 Benchmark with a smattering of DX9 support...

and we should all rejoice about this supurb futuristic reality benchmark

Just another ploy to throw us off of Nvidia's trail. But we here at ABXZONE can not be tricked by any means...!!!LOL

Remember the error I was having with W2K3. Well, it was telling me my printer port was disabled. I disable EVERYTING in my BIOS that I am not using. Apparently, W2K3 was looking for the this...

Thanks!

I will need to check that out I guess. I would think that the chipset would make a difference but maybe not. W2K3 even had all the AMD8111 chipset drivers installed before I bothered with the later 9/5/03 drivers.

Now THAT'S a scary thought.

Just installed nVidia's 51.75 and I put up 51,650. Exhibit A:

I placed #45 out of #2813 blokes! I beat an Intel processor running at 3514MHz! I think I soiled my knickers…

so you scored 5k higher just by installing the 50's??

[realdieu]

4905 to be exact. What is interesting, I have not even touched the memory or CPU speeds. It is a fact that I can tighten up the memory and put the 246 to 2.2GHz comfortably. You never know, I may have a shot at the title…

LOL... I love it... GO! GO! GO! Take em out realdieu!!! Claim the title while you have a chance.. After tomorrow, I am sure more new AMD chips will be bragging... This is your chance at history!!! I tried to persuade Pointreyes earlier. But he didnt feel confident. You sound like your ready for a brawl... I say GO!!!!

Pointreyes does not have the same hardware that realdieu has. He has the PC2700 RAM and he has the 246 on a nForce3 chipset board. I only have the 240 and my video card is definitely not clocked correctly on an AMD chipset board. My board would probably be considered more of a serverboard than a motherboard.

Im just kiddin Point... Just tryin to get realdieu pumped...

I am the only combatant hauling the Opteron flag. I am stuck in a quagmire filled with Intel disciples. In actuality, the maximum score I can pull with this 246 is probably 56,650. That would put me at #4 or #5. By tightening the memory timings and upping the 246 to 2.2GHz, that may give me the additional 5,000. At least in the top ten for a day or so. Or, until I get the 248...
