I think there have been a few threads like this one in the past; you can find these by using the search feature. I got 11530 the last time I ran 3D Mark 2001 SE and 1831 in 3D Mark 03.
run o3 3d mark 03 with the patch..........then you'll know what you are up against in future applications aka doom3 etc
novicegamer, are you useing the new Cat. 3.4 drivers? If not you will get a big boost in 03. I got about 300 points, I'm up to 5332 with them. Unforutnately, I changed to the Omega drivers and lost about a 100 of that, but they work better for games. At least on my computer.
yes I have the new cat drivers,for some reason puter locks up without them.but I dont have the patch,will get now
Are you sure about a boost from Cat 3.4? From what I've read you will lose a few points - read the whole NVidia in another scandle articles out there. LNCPapa
With an ATi card on 3D Mark 03 you will gain with the 3.4 over the 3.2. I gained about 300 points, but after the 330 patch for 3DMark 03 I lost about a 125 of that. I think you WILL loose some on 3D Mark 01, but I haven't tested that yet. I've got a G4 Ti 4600 that's in a computer not on the net, so I haven't tested it, but I think you loose a lot with the new patch. Edit: With the Omega 3.4 drivers I lost about 100 points. Edit: Just ran 3D Mark 01 and picked up 156, using Rage3D Tweak. That's strange, because everyting I've read says you loose points on 01 with the 3.4s. Maybe it was the tweak program.
