[TommyW]

i just got 2200+ tbred b from a friend and i overclocked it to 2260mhz with volcano 7 and i put my old msi gf4ti4400 128mb and overclocked it to 320@670 and i get only 9848points!!
what is going on?!?! :mad: :mad: :mad:
whats the best driver for gf4ti for 3dmark01 :confused:

[Çhrist0ph]

i get over 13.5k on my old overclocked ti 4200 on a 2200mhz amd xp...325/650.

Your lod settings are probably on high

[kromosto]

i was getting 13.5k with my ti4200 and p4 2.0A @ 2.7 without any lod tweaking you have really something wrong is your os clean and tweaked

[TommyW]

and after i put 9700pro i get only 13k :mad: :mad:
i just install win xp 3-4days ago!!

[Bungo]

hmm, think 40.72 is the best driver for ti4200...and maybee the same for the ti4400?

I had a nforce2 mobo before but mobo/cpu was pretty...(wierd performance) so i got some new stuff instead :)

Ok, the master checklist:
Chipset drivers?
Virus?
Right drivers?
No conflicts?

[TommyW]

I have the latest nforce2 drivers
i dont have any virus
i make a scan with ad aware 6
i installed omega latset drivers for the visoe card

... :(

[Çhrist0ph]

13k with 9700? eew. Your cpu/fsb is probably a huge bottleneck.

Tommy, did you install the drivers in the driver installation order
For Windows XP it goes like this:

Service Pack 1
Chipset Drivers
Video Drivers
Network Drivers
Sound Drivers
Any other drivers

Do you have 8X agp enabled in bios?
Is there anything intensive running in background while 3d mark is running

[TommyW]

I have win xp cd what came with sp1...
1.i install win with sp1
2.reboot
3.i install nforce drivers
4.lan drivers,sound drievrs
5.reboot system
6.dna 4.5 drivers
7.reboot system

ad yea i have agp 8x enabled but side band addresing not..

[John Cena]

WHAT? You didn't install Chipset drivers? Chipset drivers are the FIRST thing to install in the system(after the service pack 1 though) otherwise it will not function properly

If you dont install Chipset drivers first, USB 2.0 will be disabled and alot of other things.

Intel directly recomends it too.

Tommy try enabling side band adresing and bench again and make sure nothing cpu itnensive is running in te brackground

[TommyW]

nforce drivers is the chipset drivers!! :p:

how to enabke side band ad... i cant find it in the bios :(

how to enabke side band ad... i cant find it in the bios :( im pretty sure some mobo's force it off, and some video card manufacturers use a bios that turns it off... u can remedy this by flashing to another manufacturers bios.

hercules 9700pro bios is alright?
