what dictates lobby scores??

[iboomalot]

kinda strange I have a slow 9700pro

nature scores are horrible around 120 fps

but my lobby scores and high car seem to surpass alot of people's FPS even with faster better cards.

so wondering what dominates the lobby score?

Lobbies are mostly memory dependant.

[pik-ard v1.1]

i thought they were more cpu dependent then memory, while car scores were more a mix of the two.

your ras-cas2 ram and dual channel are what get your lobbies so high. I am barely behind ya in lobby low but am getting owned in lobby high. I am also not far behind ya in car high, your dual channel and ras-cas2 helps there a bit, also the 30MHz cpu u got over me despite winxp handicap. as for your nature, is everything in the ati control pannel set to performance? if so your 9700 pro has bad video ram timings. I get 129 in nature at stock 9800pro clocks while others get 132!

im sure i remember wise bencher's saying its all about memory speed, im sure 1:1 with a highly clocked cpu helps... and nice tight latencies.

your card clocks are pretty low to get a significant score in nature...

[r3b0rN]

if u read geforce4's post... he reckons his 9800 pro at stock equals that fps.

[STEvil]

His ati 9700pro @ 384/337.5 (A64) vs. mine @ 432/346 (AXP) shows me about 15 fps ahead of him with +48/+9 over him... card clocks help nature a lot.

EDIT

He was using 384/337.5 for his bench.. our drago low/high scores are very close.. nice, heh.

[iboomalot]

damn 432/346 wish mine was stable at that rate.

by his I mean your card, iboomalot ;)

425+ takes some good cooling and a bunch of volts for most 9700 series cards ;)
