Poor excuse for a Ti4200

[Suddy]

Hey people, I'm new here and was wondering if anybody could help me. I find my 3d mark score is a little low and could use a few pointers if its not too much trouble

System specs:
Asus A7V333
Athlon XP 2400+
768MB Crucial PC2700
PalitDaytona GF4 Ti4200 128mb agpx8 (250/420) (poor memory speed i know :(
WD 80gb 7200rpm
Win2k Pro SP3

Current 3d mark score is 10375

Thanks :)

Welcome to Xtreme
It's because you're running everything at stock, try to bump the fsb and it'll do some wonders, you can also check the guide here for benching. The mem score is also really slow, what kind of cooling are having on them? Maybe some ramsink could help you

Hi there, I have tried some OCing on the card itself (to the Ti4400 speeds 275/550) at which it will run and give me a score of 11444. Atm i have some thermaltake blue ramsinks on the card, the problem is that the chips are both too wide and spaced too far apart for them to fit properly :( I'm seriously considering returning the card as the box advertises a 512 mem speed and purchasing a Leadtek Ti4800-SE instead.
I'll give the fsb a go and see what I can get.
Cheers :)

You'll see more gain by oc'ing the ram and the cpu, i won 3000 by going from 155 to 200 and the cpu from 1.9GHz to 2.3GHz

Cheers for the advice m8 :)
The Ti4200 broke and had to be returned, i got something slightly better to start experimenting with in return, an MSI Ti4800 SE. Anyone else out there have one of these?
