Hmm.. 897 3Dmarks on an AthlonMP 1800+. I've seen worse.

Interesting.

That's a great result for this Radeon card with four pipes.

With your slightly overclocked R9.5k card you reach the level of comparable systems, using a R9.7kPro. - That's impressive.

I agree. It's more like a system bench, now. By the way, which sound adapter do you use? (It's not shown in your futuremark profile.)

Weeeeell, there IS a reason for the rather good performance of my saphire radeon 9500 128mb. Its software unlocked to perform identically to a radeon 9700.

Actually I can clock it to about/above radeon 9700 pro levels (350core/310(620)mem). I have chosen to clock it slightly less than this, at 324/300 - since I have greatly reduced the cooling of my pc (due to noise).

And yes, the performance of my sub $200 card is quite adequate.

Edit: Im using the Hercules game theater xp 7.1.

Exactly 5000 points...

anyone have time to benchmark a 9700 or 9700 pro with non dx9 drivers just out of curiosity?

I can, but I think my score may be skewwed in that my CPU is still a P3 (I am in the middle of an upgrade) just waiting for parts to arrive.

Edit:

Woohoo, no longer a mini!

**Mikko** · 13 February 2003, 13:43

Good idea, I'll second that!
Anyone, please?

**borat** · 13 February 2003, 13:44

cheers mmp121 but your result will not be representative due to the cpu.

Well, whatever you say, I just ran it, and I got a score of 2444 (it was run on System 1 in my sig). Hope that helps.

I'm kinda blown away by the score.
