Re: 3DMark05 Scores

Compatability and driver issues have not been a problem for the ATI line for a few years. That is ancient history.

Re: 3DMark05 Scores

So exactly how much of an advantage over the fx5900xt will a get with the 9800pro

note:the gainward fxpower pack fx5900xt golden sample runs a lot faster than any of the other 5900xt on the market is it is an overclocked card when purchased that is the reason for the heat spreaders on the memory and the large fan and heatsink for the core.

Re: 3DMark05 Scores

We can't really tell you how much better you'll get in 3DMark05, but you can look for people using the FX5900XT and the 9800 Pro and compare scores.

Anyway, the Sapphire, if it's at all like mine, will overclock just short of 9800XT speeds with no case airflow and stock cooling, while a cheap aftermarket cooler and a single exhaust case fan bring it past XT speeds. At those speed, I'd take it over the FX5900XT any day. Nvidia's line at that level back when the 5900s were still fairly new was far worse than ATI's (meaning it still is). Nvidia is already replacing it with newer cards. Speaking of which...

If you're going to stick with nVidia, go for a 6600GT, which is a bit more than an Fx5900, but noticably better than it and the 9800 Pro. Anything below that, stick with ATI. Up until the 6800 series, ATI was the leader for quite some time.

Re: 3DMark05 Scores

That's about right for that card, I'd say. We're talking about 3DMark 05 here; your card is one of the weakest cards that can even run it. What's it doing in a [email protected] machine? It may not be an Athlon 64, but it's not exactly a weak gaming CPU.

That said, there are things you can do to help. Changing those latencies, if your RAM and board will do it stabiliy/at all, would be smart. See if it'll run 2.5-3-3-5, or even 2-3-3-5. You could also run it a bit faster, though you'd likely have to either increase or decrease your CPU overclock, preferably increase (not that it'll make any noticable difference in any gaming or gaming benchmark either way).

You can also run through some of the relevant guides at www.tweakguides.com, particularly the XP and ATI ones.

BTW, it'd be great if you could resize that image for our members using dual-up and for those of us at 1024x768 or less resolution (which is more than 99% of everyone). It'd also be smart to get the BF Vietnam key changer out of there so Darthtanion doesn't remove it entirely.

Re: 3DMark05 Scores

mmmmmmmm I wonder if your cpu oc is lifting you? Might bump mine up a bit this weekend and see what difference it makes.

In the bios the memory timings are set to auto so I don't know what the timings are, tried to adjust them manually my self, the first time the computer wouldn't even start up, had to clear it with the jumper. second time it worked but my score went down. What are the best settings for my memory? (Kingston value RAM)
