[DaSaint]

hey guys can u help a bro out here... i cant figure out what to do.. im running my system below... and all i could get without it overcloced was a bout a 6500 bench and with it overclocked i could get a 8000 to me thats WAYYYYYY TO low... it seems like when it hits the high textures benches it jes LAGGS.... the system itself is not overclocked and i really dont wanna overclock it either... can someone help me get at least a 10k?

DaSaint,

Welcome to Xtreme :)

Did you install the VIA 4in1's? Something does seem a bit screwed up there :(

[DaSaint]

Thank yha for the greeting :)

yha i have the 4.41 Via Drivers installed when i didnt have them installed i got bout 6000 on my bench when i put em in i got 6500

[N8]

Hmm, do you know what BIOS settings you're runnin? Perhaps poor memory timings and whatnot? I'm tryin to think of something that'd make ur score so low :)

[DaSaint]

memory settings on the motherboard are running as such... Auto, 2.5 CAS 4:5 Ratio if that helps any... i tried Oc'in those chips to 2,2,2,5 but for some reason she locked up *shrug* might have to put J1 and J2 back so it puts more voltage into the memory...

[Colin]

Can you provide us a compare URL?

I get similar scores with my Ti4600 at stock if I enable AA and/or AF.

[DaSaint]

i do not have a current one loaded when i get home i will upload the ones i have done so you can see... and i had all of the anti-aliasing turned off in riva tuner and in windows xp settings.... that i do know if i remember correctly my FPS on the low textures were about 140-160 and the high textures were 20-30FPS!!! it was crapy on the high textures....

[Colin]

How about AF? GF4 Ti's suffer quite a performance drop when AF is enabled...

[DaSaint]

i feel like an idiot saying this but what is AF?

[Colin]

i feel like an idiot saying this but what is AF?Haha... Don't worry about it! :)

AF stands for Anisotropic Filtering. AF uses higher res textures in teh foreground and makes the image "prettier". You want to turn this option off or to bilinear when benchmarking. :D

You can turn it off in RivaTuner as well, in the DirectX options. If you go the part where you change the LOD, you'll see the texture options in the bottom 3rd part of the window.

[DaSaint]

ok ill check that out when i get home i think it was set to bilinear when i have run my benchmarks...

[Bulldog]

Right before you run bench go to task master and see what % cpu use is,what drivers are u useing for video card and you do have direct X 8 installed right?IMO you have some type of basic problem that once you post what bio's u are useing and a compare link we'll get ya sorted...BTW Welcome..:toast:

[SPQQKY]

Be sure AA is turned off in Display Properties, not just using Riva. I have noticed Riva doesn't really shut off AA with my Ti4600 and most of the newer Dets.

[DaSaint]

ok the AF options wont even let me touch them heres a pic

[Colin]

What the hell? You can't change AF?!?

What Detonator drivers are you using?

Oh ya can you give us a compare URL?

[DaSaint]

im using the 40.72'z i couldnt upload my bench for some reason last night ill try again later tonight when i get home... my bench wez Oc'ed to 300/600 and i got like a 7600 on it... as soon as they let me upload my bench ill get it to yha guys immediatly

[DaSaint]

Judging by yoru fill rates you have AF enabled...

Go into your D3D settings in your drivers. There should be a AF filtering option. By default 2x AF is enabled, turn it off.

[DaSaint]

This is what it looks like and the AF is to 0 i tried changing the quality to performance no change......

[Colin]

Hey DaSaint do you have Texture Sharpening enabled? That's in the AA menu.

[DaSaint]

i have had it on and off it didnt make a difference but currently it is on

[DaSaint]

i think i am bout ready to jes give up trying to fix my prob and mebe reload the OS on it... it was my last resort but i think thats what i am going to have to do... ahhh its bout time for it to be done n e ways... so its no big deal to me :) thankz for all yer help guys... jes hope that me prob has something to do with my frikken software or some bad det driver causing all of this...

Grazie for your help!!! :toast:

[DaSaint]

Hey Guys jes to let yha know after the Reload of the OS Software and some tweaks i got her up to 10K :)

any suggestions would be helpful if u can get me higher

[Scyphe]

Still very weird. We've got the same motherboard, you've got a faster CPU & a faster GFX card, yet I beat your card with 2000 3dmarks.

At stock settings, no tweaks I get 11369 marks:

At 325/595, no special tweaks I get 12078 marks:
http://service.madonion.com/compare?2k1=5087503

I've clocked the ABIT GF4Ti4200 OTES to 325/595 (RAM won't go higher, need to add RAM sinks.)

[DaSaint]

well u got a overclocked system vs mine too you got your FSB up to 175 where i have mine at only 133 and in comparison your processor is running about the same speed as mine is... but the only thing that still dont look right is the fill rate theres something definatly wrong there.. im wondering if the video card is bad or sumtin cause i cant figure out what would do that to my fill rates that comparison its just horrible every thing else i would go with but that.....

*edit is there anything you specifically have done that might be able to help me out wiht my board since we are running the same mobo??? and it also makes me wonder if the 3dbench is telling the truth hell it cant even identify the chip as a throughbred processor it jes claims it as UNKNOWN*
