Low 3dmark 03 / Aquamark score

For some reason im getting low scores for these 2 programs, im not sure why.
Anyone have any ideas?
http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k3=2729106
my CPU score seems extremely slow.
Ive also tried installing the intel chipset drivers (latest ones) but still no luck...
Same with aquamark:
http://arc.aquamark3.com/arc/arc_view.php?run=1621912558
only 8,000 for the CPU test... many of them have 9,000-10,000 at 3.25GHz

the other card was a 5900XT with 56.72 drivers.
ok ill give it a go with the 3 tests and see what the outcome is...
here are the results from the 5900XT (as i can only publish 1 result with 03)
Main Test Results
3DMark Score   5439 3DMarks
CPU Score   631.0 CPUMarks

Missing polygons and low 3dmarks

I bought this Geforce fx 5900 card with a new althlon64 system, and the card is new and runs on stock clocks. I have NO PROBLEMS WHATSOEVER running 3dmark 2003, and score 3414 3dmarks which is very low compared to similar systems I see on these forums, but probably I have to tweak the card, anyway I get missing polygons on NFS underground and Temple of Elemental Evil (only have these games for now). I heard that missing polygons happen on overclocked systems (my gfx card 400-core 700-mem). These artifacts on games but 3dmark fine???? I don't understand. In the games I tried lowering core clock in rivatuner (from stock 400 to underclocked 360mhz) and I get less polygon corruption, so this has to be the problem. Could it also be some setting in the BIOS? also causing crappy 3dmark score

Did you load your DirectX drivers first? Those drivers should be version 9.0b.
Download "Powerstrip" from http://www.entechtaiwan.com and see if you can tweak the video card to get the results you're looking for. Make sure you have the 12v connection at the graphics card!
My 3DMark03 score is 3630 with "Powerstrip" settings at:
Engine clock 532 MHz
memory clock 912 MHz

Use msconfig to disable all the programs under the startup tab except NvCpl and rundll32 nvclock. Assuming you are running XP try to disable as many *non* microsoft services as you feel safe doing. Reboot into that environment and redo the benchmark.
Also, do you know for sure that your pc3200 memory is running at full speed (ie. 400MHz) and is not using some other fsb:mem ratio of 4:3 or 5:4?
The given score is with every non-essential background process and service diasbled (though it makes very little difference). DRAM is running at 1:1 (ie 400). Tried 5:4 with FSB=230 (max stable at stock voltage). Gains a little (CPU), loses a little (RAM), doesn't make much difference in the end. IOW, everything is running at specs now.
Also, (to ToxicTaz) it's not a SP.
I noticed a peculiar thing, though. When I ran Aida and checked video mem speed, it reported, as "actual speed", some odd number quite a bit lower than 850 (something like 736). This is in 2D mode of course (but memory speed should be the same). Anyway, now I cannot duplicate it. Could it be that the memory is stepping down on its own accord? GPU, yes, but I didn't think memory could do that. GPU doesn't get too hot either (~48 deg right after 3dmark3). Is there a way I can check "actual" memory speed during 3D testing, if there is even such a thing?
Mind you I can OC memory upto 930 OC and it passes nVidia test and seems to be running fine at that. But if it's lowering down behind my back, that would explain it.

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?

Low 3dMark Scores

The 3d mark scores thread has me thinking.
My post from that thread:
I'm not really a big benchie, but all of this has me thinking. All-in-all, this machine is not much faster than my 2800= nforce2 setup, in fact my 3dMark03 & 01se scores are much lower. With my 2800 I was getting 17250 in 01se & 6250 in 03, now with the setup below I'm getting 5243 in 03 & 15874 in 01se. Even turning the quality down has little impact on the score. One big difference in the a64's favor is I can run 'lock-on' at much faster framerates with AA & AF turned all the way up. The Vid card and extra HDD came from my old box which was about 6 months old.
My AGP apature is set @ 128mb, my mem timings are below and my CPU is not OC'd, but my GPU is; it's set to 432/371, but not all of the time. I'm running cat 4.1 drivers. So whats the deal, any guesses?
Like I said I'm not all that concerned with my 3dMark scores as I am that I may be missing something that is causing my computer to take a performance hit.

Ok, I managed to get mine fixed. I now get a cpu score of 628. This is with normal windows applications (virus killer, etc) running in the background. Will I tell you how I did it or will I keep you in suspense jk.
Ok, I did 2 things at once so I am not sure which fixed it.
1. Removed my 1G pc2700 memory and put in 512Mb DDR400 generic memory.
2. Switch off cool n quiet in the bios.
I suspect it's the cool n quiet but havent turned it back on again yet to check.
Hope this works for you (hope you havent started installing fresh windows yet).
Edit.. On a side note since you asked about via drivers. I have them all installed except IDE. I find via IDE drivers to be TERRIBLE. This is my first via board in a long time. I used to have via boards (over 5 years ago) and I had the same problem then. Whenever you put the VIA ide driver in the system goes to Sh*t. The drives become noisy and the performance is poor. My advice is to stick with the microsoft ones - a million times better.

Suggestions please low 3dmark scores & neo2

Hi everyone.
I just did a system build w/ specs in signature. Bios ver 1.4. Bios is running at stock speed, mem @ 2-2-2-10 1t. agp aperature=128. Fast writes=disabled.
I installed winxp w/ slipstream sp2, then mobo drivers including gart driver then nforce driver 67.02.
My 3d mark score averages 3843. I was getting at least 5100 with same setup except with my via 939 boards (soltek and asus a8v).
I have network installed and am using the nvidia ethernet. Do you think I should use this or the real tek driver. Might this be holding back my performance?
Please help with suggestions to improve my performace. I am at my wits end! I've done numerous searches and cannot find anything to help me!
thanks.

Set the AGP Aperture to 256, you have that much ram on the video card, I have the exact same card and I get 3dmark scores of about 5500...
And try the beta 70.90 drivers out, they work very well.

Also, make sure Vertical Sync is set to Application Controlled, you may have it turned on right now, which is rather bad for benchmarking.
Good luck

Low 3DMark 2003 Score

Hi all.
I've had my system now for a few weeks and finally got around to seeing what the 3DMark 2003 score is.... now on Tomshardware, similary systems get scores of around 6000. My latest score was 3006, which seems way too slow.
Here is the 3DMark 2003 Breakdown:
GT1 - 119.5fps
GT2 - 14.4fps
GT3 - 13.8fps
GT4 - 24.6fps
CPU Score - 684
CPU Test 1 - 79.5fps
CPU Test 2 - 11.6fps
My system is as follows:
AMD Athlon 64 3000+ (200Mhz FSB)
MSI Neo K8T800 with latest BIOS (using Via 4.51 drivers)
Hercules Radeon 9800Pro 128Mb (using Catalyst 3.10 Drivers)
DX9.0b
Windows XP Pro (32Bit) SP1
2 x Corsair 512Mb 3200 DDR CAS 2.5N (single channel)
No additional Cards (I used onboard LAN, Soundcard, etc).
I'm thinking that I haven't set something right up in the BIOS, but I can't think for the life of me what it would be. I've used the MSI Update tool to get the latest drivers for everything (as of 13th January 2004).
Any ideas?
Many Thanks
Steven

Thanks - when I get back home tonight (at work at the moment). I'll post my BIOS and CPU-Z settings.
The only problem I had during the installation of Windows was the order of installing the drivers - I would get video card problems if I installed VIA Chipset drivers THEN ATI Catalyst (ie Black screen), but no problems if I installed the ATI Catalyst THEN VIA Chipset.
I've also found I get major problems if I have Fast Writes Installed.
The AGP Aperature is set to 64Mb.
Power Supply is 400 Watt
I'm very impressed with the fast responses in this forum, btw! Thanks

Low 3D Mark 2001 score

I tested 3d mark 2001 on my pc, specs below, and i only score 9500 on the benchmark. What's wrong? Is it my PSU? Its the Q-tec 550Watt double fan psu. Ive been told its not that good but i should still get a higher score than that right?

An Antec (or ANY brand PSU, for that matter) will give you more headspace for future upgrades but it will not give you one single extra 3Dmark (in the same way that you will not get extra points for having an aluminium case ).
1. install 3dmark 2001SE;
2. extra points will be gained with o/c-ing CPU and videocard;
3. extra points will be gained with a "clean" system (remove as much of the background programs as possible, disconnect network and internet, defragment HD, etc.)
4. choose fastest settings in control panel (some nice threads can be found on www.guru3d.com forum);
5. compare the score with other comparable machines in the rankings of futuremark - is 9500 really that bad, btw?
Hans
PS: Some scores that can be found on the internet: "typical": 10,000, "topscore": 16,000 (13,000 for non-ultra), 12,000 (on a 3.2 Pentium-based system) ... I guess that 9,500 is NOT really that bad ... but there is always room for improvement

W520 long boot time 1 min 30 sec and low Windows Experience Index score 4.6

Hi
W520 said is EE (Enhanced Experience 2), booting in 1 min 30 sec !! that's long for me !!
Is there I can change to make it boot faster or that is normal?
Also, Isn't the processor Windows assessment score should be greater than 4.6 and
for the memory greater than 7.2 ??
Solved!

4-5 minute boot is sloooowww!! 90 seconds is even slow on a new laptop. My 4.5 year old Core2Duo at 2GHz with a 7200rpm HD boots Windows 7, including a bunch of programs at startup, in less than a minute. When I get a W520 I'm expecting it to take less than that.

Low aquamark CPU scores :(

I have a 3200+ newcastle(stock) and neo platinum. my aquamark cpu score seems low at 7019. is this abnormal and if so, any ideas on what could be causing it? btw, my 3dmark01 score is 16,900...is that low too?

OK this is how it supose to be, just ran AM3 again after i gave my AGp some juice here is the new result:

Im aiming to 50k, but need to break the wall first on my fsb coz neo freezes up on 216 x 11 fsb 1:1.
ill loosen the timings next time mayb i get better luck then.
Oh yeh is this the latest cpu driver( AMD Athlon™ 64 Processor Driver for Windows XP, Version (exe) 1.1.0.14 )?????/

Why low score with 3DMark 2003

hello friends,
i wanted to know why i am getting low score in 3D Mark 2003 with my MSI Geforce FX 5200 T128 (64 bit) i got the following score
3DMark 2001 = 5500 score
3DMark 2003= 1150 score
3DMark 2003= 865 score using 45.77 driver version
now the question is i heard does Nvidia use CG language or something and ATI company does not why. if so did Nvidia actually got success or something if they got out Geforce 6800 now does it also use the same language ?

3dmark2003 is pretty hardcore intensive. Its intended to test upcoming game performances (Doom 3, HL2, STALKER), so naturally, with a card like that (I have that card and around the same score), its going to get a low score. I think Direct X 9.0, Havok, as well as a bunch of other important game innovations are going to be tested.
The FX5200 is a low range, budget card, not for running Doom 3 and HL 2.
I dont know about the CG language business....?

Very low CPU scores

I made a go at this once before, but here we go again!!
My rig is scoring very low in the CPU benchmarking dept. My main concern is 3d Mark03 and aquamark. In 3d mark I'm scoring 250 for a CPU score, and my overall aquamark score is pretty bad too - 14288. I was scoring ~28k with my 28000+ setup and the same vid card. My Sandra scores seem okay, there all in line with the referance scores. I've been thinking maybe the problem lies with my memory, since the mem and cpu are directly connected could a mem problem be disguised as a CPU issue. I've got c'n'c enabled, but I've tried it w/o it enabled-no difference. I've tried one stick, different slots, I'm at a loss. Thanks in advance.

I am convinced your AGP GART is your problem. If all else fails, do a fresh install of Windows and load the 4N1 4.51 before your ATI drivers. If 3dMark03 is having trouble with CPU, chances are your games are suffering too, you may not know how great your setup really is yet.
Yeah, So I've found the problem, but how to fix it?? Funnny thing is I know I've checked it before and it was @ 8x, but I've also had to change it bacj to 8x from off before. I polly took it for granted that it changed to 8x. My bios is 1.2. I'm glad to hear from you and flam3h that your OCZ is working fine, I have always liked OCZ and really didn't want to give it up.

MSI R6850 low 3dmark06 score

Hey, I build a new PC about a month ago and I noticed that my graphics card isn't reaching it's potential about 16463 3DMarks. I didn't figure out how to put my specs below but I'll post them here.
Motherboard: MSI 785GM-E65 bios version: 2.BO
Processor: AMD phenom 2 x6 1055T 2.8ghz
Memory:
Module 1
2048 MB Kingston DDR3 @ 667 MHz
Module 2
2048 MB Kingston DDR3 @ 667 MHz
GPU: MSI R6850 PM2DIGD5 driver version: 8.801.0.0
At first the results were way worse, I couldn't even play a game like CoD:Black ops, then I noticed the motherboard didn't detect the CPU and gpu decently so I updated the bios and got major improvements. But I have this feeling that something is still not the way it should be and I cannot figure out what it is.
CPU get's detected as 800MHz btw, but I guess that's just AMD's cool & quiet? It's not like I cannot do anything with this score, but if I'm overlooking something here please help.
Thank you in advance.

my 3Dmark 06 score was 17409 and that was with the MSI R6870 Twin Frozr II Radeon HD 6870 1GB 256-bit GDDR5. (single card not in CF).
You have the 6850 (16463 3dmark) vs 6870 (17409 3dmark) and the Screenshot ? HD6850 or HD6870 ? (16983 3dmarks). Average to above Average Scores depending on PC System and any OverClocks of CPU.
My old CF setup of HD 3870's 3Dmark 06 High score was (17988 3dmarks). Meaning 1- HD 6870 is very close to being as good as 2 - HD 3870's in CF.
So imagine what you would be getting with 2- HD 6850's in CF.
