I need to know the fastest DX/ Cat / Win2k Service Pack for a nForce2 with a 9700 Pro.

I'm trying to hit 20,000 but I don't exactly have a lot of room here, and I've 525 points to go.

Card is maxed at 375 / 330 (its like the 34th made), and the Barton, if its hella cool in here, might clock up another 20 MHz to 2470. Thats it.

I think if I find the right DX / Cat / Win2k combo I may be able to eek out another 300 points, and with a flash to BIOS 10 hopefully I can raise FSB to the 23X range and get another 250.

I am aircooled and presently un-vmodded. I'd like it to stay this way as 20K is much more impressive with low clocks and average-joe cooling. :)

If any of you have thoroughly tested on this combo could lemme know what worked best for you, all the thanks in the world. :D

Ok, one for DX8.1 and Win2000 SP1.

Anyone else?

He said cat3.5 too, that is widely accepted as best for 2k1

with 375/330 is nearly impossible to break 20k unless you really have a very big cpu power i think but you may use omega96b which gave me 300 point more than other drivers and with aperature size 32mb but the best way for you is to find a way to oc your 9700pro more mine can bench at 398/355 artifact free which was very usefull to me to break 20k good luck making 20k with barton is harder than making it with p4c like me

Yep. I doubt youre going to see anyone else pull of 103.3 Car High at these clocks. ;)

Im trying to get the damn Radeon to push more FPS really. Thats whats screwing me over. I have 525 points to go and I have to get them with the GPU. :(

I always heard 3.2 is best? by how many points is 3.5 better on average? im at 22.2k on crappy air and want higher!!!

For a 9700 Peen, not a 9800.

But I see most 9800 scores with Cat 3.6's and Cat 3.2's.

There are always more points out there, sometimes you just have to be a bit creative in finding them. :D

I just re-ran a stock bench with a slightly different config. I'm down two tenths on GPU tests but I can consistently get 90 FPS+ Car High from the Barton at stock. Sadly, it all equals out again.

Quad, I think its time I got this last tweak to work. ;)
