3DMark 2003

**[AK]Abaddon** · 02-12-2003, 03:20 PM

I can see why Nvidia is upset. My 3Dmark score was 1135 under the new benchmark. I had 5-7 fps for a lot of the game tests. I have a standard Geforce3, running with 42.09 drivers and DirectX 9, and a Pentium 4 2.5 gHz with 512 mb of RDRAM.

My usual score in 3Dmark 2001 SE was 8623. Looks like Futuremark really raised the bar ... and I suspect the tests are no longer tailored to Nvidia's strong points.

Don't feel bad I have a p4 2.53 512 mb pc2700 ddr ram and Gforce4 Ti4600 and my first benchmark was 1677, I did have something else running on my pc at the time but DAMN! I am going to install the newest drivers and kill all other apps and rerun and post results tomorrow and see if it makes a difference.

These low numbers make me think they changed the scale or something.

4635 on my system, 14588 on old 3dmarks

hmm.. what you running rocks?

so far I'm the highest AK'er.. that is until Goob runs it on his 9700 and gets a 16743 or something like that...

**Slaughter** · 02-12-2003, 08:54 PM

The scoring system is the same.. just down to being how it was when 3DMark 2001 first came out.

Does Nvidia have DX9 compatible drivers yet?..

**[AK]Abaddon** · 02-13-2003, 03:19 AM

I believe every driver in the 42.xx series is DX 9 compatible. At least, that's what I've read.

Here's a good link for drivers.

9700 Pro? What did you do with your old GF4?

**[AK]Rocks** · 02-13-2003, 04:17 AM

Setting on the my desk right now.. !!!! ANy ideas...

**[AK]Bribo** · 02-13-2003, 04:24 AM

Yeah, I have one.

I'll get the details from you later.

**[AK]Hylander** · 02-13-2003, 06:45 AM

The new 3dMark takes full advantage of DX9, so unless you have an ATI 9700 or GF FX... you are going to have a very, very hard time breaking 2000 for a score as 2 of the tests won't even run without a DX9 compatible card.

**Slaughter** · 02-13-2003, 09:01 AM

ahh.. yeah the 9700 would push you up that high since 3DMark 2003 runs like crap on my system.. seriously the troll lair the highest fps I can get is in the 40's, and thats on the close-up of her face.

**[AK]Goob** · 02-13-2003, 10:59 AM

I finally got it today at work so I will see how it does on my rig

I toped out at 16250 on 2002 so it should be interesting to see what pops out.

started hitting in the 1500's with the 41.09 drivers.. went and downloaded the 42.30's and hit 1674.. still doesn't match my high though.
