Insanely horrible 3dMarks

    Ok, first question:

    CAS# Latency 2.5 (kinda important)
    RAS# Precharge 2
    RAS# to CAS# Delay 3 (very important)
    DRAM Precharge Delay 6
    DRAM Burst Length 8
    This is specific to your P4P800 mobo

    Second question:

    OCZ rates their memory at a certain voltage, but they do as good a job with their PCB's as anyone, and the ram can handle the higher voltage, no problems. I only with this mobo had a higher vdimm....

    Here is a link for some serious Bios tweaking you might check out. The guy really seemed to do his homework, so you might see something that interests you...

    Later....

    What's the DRAM burst length do and is 8 or 4 a good option?

    Man, you'll need someone smarter than me to explain it to you! All I know is it is douvle the speed of 4, and it does it stable for me, so I thought it might be a setting you could use.

    Also, when you run 3DMark01, disable HyperThreading. HT enabled lowers your score for some strange reason. It's the only benchmark I've found that is affected. Just some tips that I use here...

    Later....

    Thanks.

    Unfortunately, when my FSB is at 250, I found out it IS unstable because WarCraft III: Frozen Throne dies about 15 minutes into the game.

    I found this out while trying to play Network :D Lowering it to 247 did the trick though.

    Mict,

    Aquamark and Vupline are 2 openGL benchmarks I've seen in the past.

    Plus the drivers should be set to application preference or off, as the test parameters in the 3dmark benchmark program actually specify that it is a test being run at X resolution with no AA, no trueform etc....

    Its not cheating. its just not overriding the settings that should be used for the benchmark. I don't agree with extreme changes to your system from its standard configuration to benchmark and get the best score you can but you have to have a standard test setup to be able to do any comparison between systems.

    3dmark often allows users to compare their results with that of other users running the same system. Having exactly the same components and having your system running extremely badly and hence getting a low score and performing under par in comparison to someone else with exactly the same hardware would annoy me. If I'm not at least getting the performance I paid for without overclocking I would be even more annoying. In this way 3dmark and other benchmarks make a valid contribution to the computer enthusiast world by providing references to let them know their system is running as it should be without problem.

    I presume Vupline means Vulpine GLmark.
