I guess what I am asking is if I overclock will I see any improvement in AH? And I am not that unhappy...actually for 15.00 I think ther is alot of value!

Went from Animal's at 16 bit to 32 bit and got 2210.

Ammo the GF3 will run 2001 SE but cannot run it at 4xFSAA at 1600 resolution, runs fine at 2xFSAA however.

Deja; Display Properties>Settings>Advanced>Geforce 4 Tixxx>Additional Properties>Direct 3D Settings>Mipmap Detail Level: Best Image Quality

Makes a big difference in score, and in image quality.

Running at these high settings is what really matters if you want to play future games (like Doom 3 and UT2003) at a decent speed with your current hardware.

Geforce 3 and some Geforce 4 "only" have 64mb wich will supposedly suck for those future games.
Probably moot, even the 4600 may suck, and we will all need faster hardware.

We are being played the upgrade game.

Ah.. mine was set to "best image quality" already.

What did you do to get the two different scores?

My setup is straight up out of box with driver:
6.13.10.2742

AKDejaVu · « **Reply #24 on:** August 10, 2002, 07:50:30 PM »

The first was 4x FSAA and the second was 2x (like bloom's)

My setup is right out of the box too. I don't tweak high performance parts... I mean why pay the $$$ if you still have to tweak it?

Nice FSB ya got going there Animal. I guess that's not much of a problem with those disposable processors you use.

Here is the 4xFSAA result attached

3DMark Score 2365

Deja, I really like overclocking my FSB

You usually get more noticeable speed improvements with a higher FSB than just overclocking the core speed.
I tried to go for 160Mhz FSB, but anything above 155 is unstable. Lowered it to 153 just to make sure.

It may lower the CPU life, but by the time its about to die I will already be replacing it with another $80 processor.

Below is my 2xFSAA result
3DMark Score 4446
This is better and we dont clutter the thread.

How is my score higher than your first score then? I think I set it up right & my cpu and vid card are not as strong as yours. What did I miss?

Animal · « **Reply #28 on:** August 10, 2002, 08:24:58 PM »

Eagler go to Direct3D settings in your Geforce display properties and change Mipmap detail level to best image quality
that should take care of your high scores

If you are still getting 3k+ scores after that, then you are probably using the old version of 3DMark2001 and not the new SE version.

Your score seems unusually high.
In fact, Deja's scores are superb.
