thanks!

hello,
I tried 1024x768 and it gave me a score of  only 250 fps (Normal, texture color set to default).
I read somewhere in the net (also pls see http://www.anandtech.com/www.tomshardwareguide.com) of Intel 845G motherboard and MSI's 845G max getting a 283+ fps at 1024x768 Normal  and 300+ fps at 640x480 Normal with the ff. spec:
Intel Northwood 2.4B 133x4 FSB  (mine is 2.48 @ 155x4)
256MB DDR333 (mine is DDR412)
Geforce4 ti 4600 128mb (mine is GF4 ti 4200 @310/600 64mb)
Also note these scores at 640x480 Normal
GF4 ti4200  64mb @ 275/550 = 288fps
GF4 ti4200  64mb @ 320/600 = 288.5 fps
Video card speed hardly make any difference in my Quake3 score
I need good Quake3 fps... i play a lot of OpenGL games!      
thanks

  • Need help: Lows Approval vs Venture CL Use

    Hi everyone, need your advice and helpful knowledge on this. Sorry is too long but i know you all love the details  As previously stated on other threads, I live in a HOA property and my fence formally got approved...waiting on county to draw new property lines and make it official on paper. I need to spend a total of about $5000 on fence materials: Should I apply for Lowes special promo and request the 5.99% for 84 months at check out? (must spend a least $3500 for offer which will be no problem obviously).  On this promo, not sure If I can pay off early or If I'm only allow to make the minimum payments...ewww OR Use my Venture with $15,000 CL.  I will make a $600 payment on it right away which will put me at 30% UTL when reporting to CR on first statement.   My UTL will decrease by 3% (about) each month as i will be making $600 payments. I know is no brainer BUT, what If I don't get approved for Lowes,  I don't want another HP or a second denial when calling recon; not even sure if they'll give me enough of a CL to purchase $5000 worth of fence materials. Either way I go, I will be making $600 dollar payments until paid off, sometimes I will be able to do $650.   Can you make higher payments on Lowes promo?Would it be worth it taking a chance for Lowes and the HP?Other options?

    Personally I'd go with the Lowes card. This is one of the few store cards which fits pretty much any home owner, and their promos for rates just don't suck.  It's even on my list whenever I go buy a real home someday in the future where it's a foregone conclusion around here I'm probably going to have to sink 100K into the house to fix it... and probably everyone knows my personal theories about store cards (just say no unless you shop there and their reward structure is better than any national bank cards). Sounds like you know the Lowes promos better than I do since I haven't kept up with them currently, but 6% vs. 18%, no brainer even over 10 months.  Inquiries are cheap, non-trivial interest is not... I don't really see your getting denied for it frankly though, only sticking point is that BK with a Walmart card since I think Synch underwrites Lowes, but as I understand it they're fairly BK friendly anyway.  

  • Low CPU mark score with a64 3000+

    I get around 650 to 680 cpu mark score with my system:
    MSI Neo Plat
    1Gig of PC3200 KINGSTON Ram
    A64 3000+ @ 2ghz
    Leadtek 6800
    I've updated the latest nforce drivers from MSI and the bios is 1.2
    I think it's way to low since I had 300 cpu mark score with my lousy Athlon 1.4Ghz thunderbird.
    I see that other a64 3000+ users get around 800 to 950 cpu mark score. Why is mine too low? Bios settings? What should I check?
    I see even a MSI Kt800 user with 840 cpu score!

    Could you please post a link for the software benchmark that you are referring to?  I can't seem to find the right one.  I got something called CPUMark but it is scoring mine at like 3400 which isn't in the correct range based on what you've said so it's probably a different software.  Thanks for your help.  I just want to see where mine falls out.

  • Setup help - low signal level in Logic

    I'm getting low input signal levels when recording in Logic (-17db to about -10db, on average), and am hoping someone here can point out an obvious oversight on my part.
    I'm recording mic'd guitars and vocals (one track at a time), with the mic(s)running into a Mackie 1402 mixer via XLR. Signals are strong and fine when I solo on the Mackie.
    The signal runs out of the Mackie via the Alt 3-4 bus into the first and second 1/4" inputs on the back of a Motu 828 mkII, then into Logic.
    Even if I drive the signal to near clipping on the Mackie, I get these low levels when recording in Logic. This is true whether I'm using a condenser mic with phantom power for vocals, or a dynamic mic on a guitar amp. I've also tried swithcing XLR mic cables.
    I'm running Logic Pro 7.2.3 and OS X (10.4.9) on a G5 2.5 DP.
    Is my signal path in need of some tweaking, or perhaps it's a setting I'm overlooking on the Motu 828?
    Any help greatly appreciated to get this rookie back on track!

    Hi,
    You wrote:

    mixer via XLR. Signals are strong and fine when I
    solo on the Mackie.
    The solo on the Mackie is probably louder,check to see if you have it AFL(after fader listen or PFL(pre fader level or "level set").
    The signal runs out of the Mackie via the Alt 3-4 bus
    into the first and second 1/4" inputs on the back of
    a Motu 828 mkII, then into Logic.
    The first thing to check is to see what kind of cables you are running into the Motu mkii.
    A. Unbalanced (ie "guitar-type" with two wires)
    B.Balanced (ie "stereo-type" with three wires)
    The second thing is to check what your inputs on your Motu are,there are two choices: +4dBu("pro") or -10dBV("consumer")
    Here's the catch:
    You MUST MATCH the correct cables for the correct levels.If the Mackie is outputting -10dBV but your Motu is thinking it is +4 you see less level no matter how loud you make the Mackie outputs.
    The Mackie can output AUTOMATICALLY either -10dBV or +4dBu depending on what cable is hooked up to it.
    Even if I drive the signal to near clipping on the
    Mackie, I get these low levels when recording in
    Logic. This is true whether I'm using a condenser mic
    with phantom power for vocals, or a dynamic mic on a
    guitar amp. I've also tried swithcing XLR mic cables.
    This is not where the problem lies.It lieas between the output of the Mackie and the input to Logic.
    I'm running Logic Pro 7.2.3 and OS X (10.4.9) on a G5
    2.5 DP.
    Is my signal path in need of some tweaking, or
    perhaps it's a setting I'm overlooking on the Motu
    828?
    Yes,a setting somewhere in the Motu is not set correctly.Check above for how to do that.

  • Need Urgent Help - Low-Qual images in inDesign

    If someone could help me soon that would be great.
    Im trying to make a photo book in inDesign, landscape, 10x8.
    I scanned film negatives, they're very large files (3000+px x 2200+px).
    When I place it into inDesign, the image looks fine on the page, until I zoom in once and it looks horribly stretched. It cant be that the files are too small, theyre huge .TIFF (converted to .jpeg) film scans. I exported the inDesign file as a .PDF but the image still looked terrible when zoomed in. The images cant possibly be too small, I dont know what to do and am in a panic, can someone please help?

    Try going to View -> Display Performance -> High QUality Display. You're probably at Typical. Neither view is going to be a bit-for-bit representation of your highres images, but at least in High Quality you probably won't panic.
    You can also open up your Links panel and show link info (the little arrow in the lower-left hand corner of the panel, at least in InDesign CC) to reassure yourself by looking at the Actual PPI and Effective PPI.

  • Help with online high scores

    I'm working on a marathon runner game ( http://www.locopuyo.com/MarathonRunnerBeta1.zip ) just for the fun of it. What I am wondering is what the best way to make a high scores list would be.
    I have mySQL on my server, I don't know if that is the best way to do it though.
    I don't know at all how to connect files on the internet with java.
    I was thinking it might be easier if I just had a plain html web site that I could edit in my java program using ftp, but I don't know how to do that and dont' even know if it is possible.
    Any help would be much appretiated.

    since you have MySQL on your server, I'm going to go ahead and assume you have PHP installed also. If so, you can do the highscore work in PHP and just have the game query that script. Basically (if you know anything about PHP and web queries in general) you just query the URL of the PHP script with a few GETVARS. In the simplest (and most easily hacked) way is something like:
    http://yourserver.com/game/highscore.php?action=submit&name=bob&score=5000highscore.php (your script) would then use MySQL to store the data of the GETVARS ($action,$name, and $score).
    All you need in Java to query this script is the URL class.
    URL url = new URL("http://yourserver.com/game/highscore.php?action=submit&name=bob&score=5000");
    url.openConnection(); // this is where it is queriedhighscore.php is where you need to do your database work. If you don't know anything about PHP or if this sounds too easily hacked, you might look into connecting to MySQL via JDBC (see tutorial)
    If I find the time I can make a simple template for you to build off of

  • Help with printing a SCORE To PDF! Urgent

    so once again I'm on a deadline and struggling with the score editor. I have a large score. I have been formatting one page at a time, and then moving on. What I mean exactly is that I get page 1 the way I want it, select print and then preview, save as to a PDF, and then move on with page 2 and do the same thing.
    This was working, up until page 13 (ironic). Page 13 had much more going on notes wise, so I dropped the scale of the score set by one percentage point, from 82 to 81%, so that I could still fit everything I wanted on the page and have it look good. But then when I went to print preview, the formatting was all screwed up, and now I can't figure out how to make it look good, while still keeping the decreased scale.
    Please, someone tell me you know how to get around this. It seems like what it says in the manual doesn't apply at all when it comes to preparing a score for printing, and I'm on a deadline for a grant and very frustrated.
    Help?
    Thanks....

    There are 3 ways in which you can affect the size of the Score to Print:
    1) The Page Set up ( which is probably the one you have been using - it may be that below 80% the Score cant be defined in terms of the information on it.. not sure about this)
    2) In the Score Editor if you go to Layout>Create Score Set from Selection and then open Staff Styles.. there is a Scaling Parameter there which reduces/enlarges the Score
    3) In Layout>Staff Styles> You can also change the size of the stave in individual parts which would reduce your Score size
    Hope this is in time for that deadline
    MS
    PS You are correct to print from PDF - printing from the Score Editor will not solve your problem AFAIK

  • Synchrony/Lowes Denial - What score do they use?

    I recently purchased a home and was looking to do some remodel, FICO 8 scores are Eq: 669 Ex: 703, Tu: 676, I figured I had a good shot at a lowes card and could probably recon for a nice limit and get all my stuff.  Well they denied me and they sent me a letter and my stated score was 437 WAY lower than what MyFICO gives. What score do they use? Any chance for a recon?

  • Need advice helping raising my Fico score (571)

    Hi guys, Long time lurker, first time poster. Long story short, I had a chapter 7 bankruptcy discharged September 2014. At that time, my Fico score rose 9 points to 584. Since that time, my Fico score dropped to 544, and has seen a very mild increase up to today’s date at 574. I don’t have any of my own credit cards, although I am an authorized user on all of my fiancés Credit Cards. Between her and I we have two installment (auto) loans. She has the following Credit Cards, with the credit limits in the first column, with our typical balances in the next column (first 5 cards are paid off in full each month by due date, the last 4 cards have running balances on them that are targeted to be paid off at various points in the next year) : American Express Blue Cash Everday:     $2000    $200       10.0%   Target Visa Credit Card:                            $6500    $600       9.2%     Wal-Mart Mastercard:                                $6000    $400       6.7%     Toys R Us Mastercard:                              $8000    $200       2.5%     Kohl's Credit Card:                                     $1500    $100       6.7%       Kay Jewelers Credit Card:                          $7650    $700       9.2%      will be paid off on 10/1/15Best Buy Credit Card:                                 $3000    $2900    96.7%    will be paid off on 2/10/16Citi Diamond Preferred Card:                      $8800    $7800    88.6%    will be paid off on 6/3/15Capital One Card:                                       $7000    $3300    48.5%    will be paid off on 9/30/16  My question is: Do I need to add credit cards for just me, instead of being an authorized user on her cards? All of the cards I am added as an authorized user for are added to my credit report, and I thought with having multiple balances reporting each month that my score would change, but it really hasn’t at all. Does my bankruptcy really keep my score weighed down so much? Today I applied for a Capital One Quicksilver1 Unsecured card and was approved with a $1000 limit and I will start using that monthly. Should I apply for additional cards just under my name? I know that keeping most if not all cards below a 10% utilization rate is key, and we are trying to get there and hopefully won’t have any outstanding balances in one years time. However, I am curious as to what tips and advice I can get at helping raise my score. I figured that my score would be higher than it currently is, but clearly I am not doing the right things in raising it. Our plan is to purchase a new home next fall (she currently owns our current home just under her name), but by the time we are married next summer, it would be nice to have both of our incomes considered for a new house loan, and I certainly won’t help out that situation with my garbage credit rating. Thanks guys.

No sense in letting those balances hurt both of your scores.PIF before the statement closing date ALL cards except for one. Allow that one card to report a balance of under 10%. That strategy will always put you in maximum FICO score territory. Request CLI's on both Cap One cards after the third statement. Don't wait for the credit steps. You will still get a credit steps auto increase at the sixth month+1

    Oh yeh is this the latest cpu driver( AMD Athlon™ 64 Processor Driver for Windows XP, Version (exe) 1.1.0.14 )?????/
    Got it from AMD.com

  • Low cpu benchmark scores on MBP 2,53

    Hi, i think there might be something wrong with my hardware/software... i've ran some benchmarks like Xbench and Geekbench and found out that my score is very low, compared to, for example, early 2008 mbps. here's the screen with my results from geekbench:

    and that's the test made on early 2008 mbp:

    What could this be?

    Boot times seem reasonable although I would've expected an improvement over my beat up prev gen MBP with loads of stuff on it.
    But look at this - http://browse.geekbench.ca/geekbench2/view/89870 - this is for MBP5,1 same as your model, same RAM and a slightly higher clocked CPU (2.8Ghz) - it gets 3614. So GeekBench incompatibility can be ruled out. More over if both Geek and XBench are slow I would suspect something else is wrong.
    May be run Apple Hardware Test, Reset PRAM and PMU and retry. If all fails take it to the Apple Store and have them look at it - it is possible the CPU is stuck in lower speeds or something else. Ask them to try a replacement unit.

  • Low Everest mem scores

    Ok here is my situation, in everest i think im getting very low scores 5313 in the mem read when the nforce 3 with same cpu has over 6000        my write speed is only at 1900 points while the neo2 is 2600.  My latency is 48.1 while the 45.6 that isnt that big but the read/write is pretty big.  My ram timings are only 2 3 2 6 1t but the test neo2 is 2 2 2 5.  Will those timings make it that big of a difference?  both running dual ddr 3200 any opions

    Ok this is what I got (certainly unscientific). I dont know if this is really what you were looking for but I was curious myself.
    pc3200 - ddr400 - 200fsb - mem timings 2,2,2,6 1T = 48ns, 2250 write, 5500 read
    pc3200 - ddr400 - 200fsb - mem timings 2,3,3,6 1T = 53ns, 2200 write, 5400 read
    Thanks for the info my scores are that far away from the 2 2 2 6 1t but still dont know why its lower  my timings are 2 3 2 6 1t does that one 3 make that much of a difference

  • Very Low 3DMark Vantage Score for CPU w/ W520

    Hi, all. I'm wondering if my fellow W series owners with i7s are getting similar scores as I in the free version of the benchmarking program 3DMark Vantage. Please note that results are online-only with the free version, so make sure you've got an internet connection.
    My Results
    Normally I don't care too much for benchmarks, but I became concerned when my score was much lower than others that I'd seen after running a Google search. I have an i7 2720QM and am getting around 5200-5300 for the CPU score. I looked at several results from similar builds, and the CPU scores for the same proc are in the 19,000-20,000 range for CPU score. It thinks my processor clock is at 797MHz, for some bizarre reason.
    Just to be sure it wasn't my power settings, I ran it again on the Maximum Performance power profile, but received the same craptastic score. All of these scores are with the laptop plugged in. I have the latest graphics drivers from Nvidia (downloaded today) and the 1.30 BIOS with ver. 3.62 of the Power Manager. TurboBoost is up and running, and my system routinely hits over 3.1GHz. I'm stumped. Would anybody mind posting their results?

  • MSI HD 7950 very low fps and scores

    Hi I just bought a new pc and theres something wrong with my msi hd 7950, I've tried crysis 3 in every settings available and it's extremely slow, also tried 3dmark and got a score of 3000 +/- and fps of 10 and 20... Already tried msi drivers and amd drivers, and it's the same...Everything is new can anyone help me?
    my specs are
    ASROCK z87 Extreme6
    Intel i7-4770k
    2.0 Tb SATA 3 WD 7200 64Mb
    DDR4 8G - 1600 MHZ Corsair
    MSI AMD HD 7950 3GB
    Thanks in advance

    Try removing current driver in safemode using >>Driver Fusion<<. After reboot install latest AMD one. If still no help use >>MSI Afterburner<< to check with OSD monitoring if it runs at expected clockrates and temps under load.
    Also please list psu details.
