Aquamark is a good program that is what I got 39574 with and I only tweak a little bit thats a great score or a sockt "A"..To answer your question overclocking is to increase frame rate sometimes it helps but if you dont get over 10% it is not worth it..

What are your 3DMark2001 scores though?

Isn't Aquamark for more high-end systems? That's the good thing about 3DMark, because it has 3 different versions.

if, by versions, you mean 3 tests, aquamark has 3 different types of tests..... i was pleased with the program. i didnt really like 3dmark03 never tried 01

both are good programs my 03 score is on my sig it a good score for a socket "A" for a 333fsb CPU oc a little I jsut have a very good video card a fx 5800 ultra they dont make any more ..Have not ran 01 in a long time

I had mine VC of FORSA GeForce FX 5200 and it is capable clock in 310/475 but i decrease it to 305/455 due to heat generation from VC stock fan. I prefer to keep it in stock of 250/400. I used TaiwanTech PowerStrip v3.14... a very nice third-party utility!

P.S. 3DMARK2001 SE Professional Score = 12,503 :ekkk:

Looks like you got a new NVIDIA GeForce FX 5800 card.

Nope I have had this card a long time . Aopen does not make a Fx5800 ultra anymore it is a very good card and can hold its own in all games now I play unreal 2004 on highest settings.... Lot of it is also the rest of the system...
