Slow Geforce DDR performance? hot k6-2-550?
First off this IS a Matrox forum, so GeFarce (hope you don't mind me referring to it as that) cards aren't REALLY covered here, but being the nice folk that they/I are/am I'm sure we'll/I'll be able to help. (phew, I think I stuffed that up a bit)
Basically when it comes to 8000, you can pretty much say no PC will come close, maybe 6000 - 7000 from a Dual P3-933 256MB PC133 RAM Geforce 2 GTS 64MB bitch of a computer, although I've never seen a score in the 7000 range. 3000 is still reasonable, you;d think you'd get at least a bit higher, it is kinda suprising, I don't know much about 3DMark99 much at all, maybe you should run 2000 and tell us what happens. The temperature seems to be ok, my CPU is constantly at about 54C my Mobo lower at 18-20 but I've seen people say Mobos in the mid 20s should be ok. The thing about using new bits and old bits is you can get bottlenecks easily, although there doesn't seem to be any in your sys. don't know anything about your Mobo. DVD playback should be pretty good, so not sure why it's choppy, it could be the IDE drivers as you said. (someone correct me if I'm wrong, I'm just trying to throw a few suggestions in here) You can probably give an IRQ listing and although I wont be able to help beyond saying those two things are sharing and they shouldn't be, others in the forum probably will be able to help more. If you need to know how to post your IRQ listing check out <a href="http://forums.murc.ws/ubb/Forum11/HTML/000035.html">Jorden's FAQ</a> about it. I have taken so long in writing this (been doing other stuff at the same time, that heaps of people have probably already replied).
