!!COMPETITION!! - Highest 3dmark99Max score.

[cpld006]

I wonder what a Max would do for my system?

[Agent31]

hmmmm, I'd join in except I think I'm gonna get my arse kicked judging by the system specs of you mob...

[StevieC]

Maggi's right up there - it's unfair comparing PII's to PII's to K6's to K7's to 386s.

[Wombat]

Hey Zyn!
You're beaten. Now, what are your specs?

[Tn]

You guys just wait until I get a quad xeon server.

[SMASHED1]

ok something is definalty up here. Ihave 32meg vanilla G400 dullhead
PIII 450 oc to 581
256 pc133 ram
Aopen AX6bc pro motherboard
10.1gig IBM harddrive 72000rpm

and i am only getting 2831 3dmarks on 3dmark99max. There is something defianlty up here, i mean even the a guy with a g200 is betting me!!
i only got the card yesterday, and have since installed the latest powerdesk drivers. Also the latest bios.

can someone please help me out here and give me some tips as to why the hell its going so damm slower, really my puter should be up their with 5560 people, oh yeah its not overclocked, but i dont think that it would make a 2000 score difference

[Zyn]

Damn, Looks like I got 2 people who just took care of my ass...

These are soem odd results,
I see AirGumby had his Vsync off, Mine was on, I thought that didnt make any difference since triple buffering was on.
Looks like ill hafta overclock my g400 now, hehe..

specs,
p3 @ 600Mhz
128mb ram
g400max

[Zyn]

Heres my spec sheet everyone's been waiting for, I tried those registry hacks from MURC but they didnt work, probably because of the fact that I messed around with the Matrox Monitor quite a bit.
Here ya go

I take it you folks are using Win98 and not NT? What might be some common things to look for if my scores are relatively low? Tried disabling vsync. Runnin G400 at 147 and P3 450 OC 600. Appreciate any feedback.

[Zyn]

Looks like Air and cpld006 both took my score to a beating, but those registry hacks had to be modified, and now they work, I also found out AirGumby was running Cas2, and I had not been, so, with those modifications, I ran 3dmark99max again, with feeling...

SAY IT... ZYN OWNZ!!!
Repeat after me.. 5811 1024x768x16 16bit Zbuffer triple buffering,

you dont believe me? http://bongo.as.arizona.edu/~kevin/4.jpg

anyone else up to the challenge ?

[AirGumby]

Well lets see. I hope you get more then me. I mean you are on a PIII-600mhz, I'm using a PIII-581mhz.. as for the CAS2 and CAS3. It wouldn't change your score that much..

Your CPU marks are like 500 more points then mine.. That's the score you should of gotten in the beginning.

[AirGumby]

Man......... This forum is crap. Why does it repeat like that.. It takes years for it to update.. pfffft!

(I'm deleting the repeats - sorry bud!)

Hi airgumby,
you can delete those multiple posts, if you want to, it is a new feature on the forums, and is courteous to others that read the thread.

[Zyn]

Yeah, I got like 15 e-mails back saying AriGumby had replied to your post, I just thought you were really pissed.
I'm also having difficutly seeing how 600Mhz p3 is so much better then p3 at 581, I should run mine at 581, see if they are similar.
5811, not bad! hehe! =)
Air - yes, the ram does do cas2 at 133..
and try deleting those posts, its probably some damn I.E. thing.. eeuuww

I have an AMD K6-2 350(3D Now! enabled) Viper V770 TNT2 135/160, 128 mb PC-100 RAM, 83 hz monitor refresh rate, I run my desktop at 1024x768@32bpp. I have a 5400 rpm hard drive I believe...V Sync disabled, 3D Now! instructions enabled, triple buffering, 800x600@16bpp and I only get about 2,374 marks. I closed all programs in background. I don't think thats normal, I expected at least 3000 something. Someone help me here!
