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

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.

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.

low level Hex disk edit & search util needed- suggestions please?
Maybe It's just late & I've had a bad day.... but I haven't needed a low level Hex disk edit & search utility suitable for an Intel 10.4.x Mac until now and can't seem to locate one.
There should be plenty of free/shareware options (because they're handy and not particularly hard to write ... and every tech head needs one some time)...
Any suggestions please?
[I haven't bothered with the commercial stuff - like tech tool/Norton/*insert name here* Recover/repair, Something Genius etc. etc. because they are all without exception either unnecessary (just pretty shells for the underlying UNIX/X utils) useless AND greedy $-gougers, just useless, or just money gougers so I couldn't even say whether any still have a 'feature' like the old Norton Disk editor app had - but a quick look about suggest not...]

Such a high-esteem for fellow human beings - and
programmers...
You know, there are some good decent nice people
behind those names?
You'd be amazed at how much testing goes into a product.
[SNIP]
g'day Hatter...
Yes, I know there are some good decent nice people behind those names..fellow human beings - and fellow programmers (so yes, I do know...) In previous incarnations I have 'thunk up' and developed, Marketed & supported considerably more complex Apps & systems myself - I even know some of the people you mention personally - and they are usually decent Blokes/women but normally, it isn't the programmers who make the decisions on pricing/features/support/performance/upgrade costs & cycles etc...
My only error was, I agree, the phrase 'without exception' - but (mainly) only because I haven't bought/tested & used all of them very very recently. So I offer my apologies to those to whom my remarks should not apply (long, late night/early morning frustration...)
However, I also offer a few simple pertinent examples:
One 'top name' Utility company had a 'save your Mac HD' product on the market for some time that was almost guaranteed to TRASH it irretrievably but did NOT say so - nor did they help or compensate those they harmed.
Several are selling what amount to simple, pretty, GUI shells for 'free' or OS-included command line tools - no more, no less but do NOT say so and are asking good money for the 'software'.
Many are asking ridiculous prices for "regular upgrades" so you can keep their tool current with your Mac OS - one wants US$100/year for it, another, $15 per u/g, others, US$25 or $40 per u/g; one asks 'only' $10 - and these 'upgrades' are happening 3,4,5,6 times per year and are necessary for the Marketing company to keep their product Saleable to new purchasers and new Macs (as well as for important Bug Fixes - and only co-incidentally to keep it performing with your current Mac and OS - which is what you paid them for in the first place).
I won't pay for a product 3, 6 or 9 times and I won't advise my clients to: It's not unreasonable for a person to expect a 'sensible lifetime/currency' of Product X for Computer Y - say 3 years (e.g. AppleCare). I wouldn't object to paying for an "upgrade" at that point - IF it's worth the money.
Software is Waaay too expensive in many cases and is simply inviting 'piracy' - from people who have already PAID for the product: sadly, they are killing their own Gooses.
Seriously, one product costs ca. US$100 to Buy in the first place
To keep it actually working for you costs about the same again Per Year - a 3 year 'sensible lifetime' or 'currency' cost of US$300 or $400! [That'll buy a lot of 'bare drives' to put in a handy Firewire case for automatic backups in Background, differential backups etc. and other simple practices which render this product type largely unnecessary ].
For what? A relatively simple set of utilities which would actually cost the company involved less than $5 total each - over 3 years - to make available to existing ( or 'current') owners. [Applecare 'complete' Hardware and Software warranty & support on a US$2000 iMac - which includes Tech Tools Pro Deluxe or somesuch costs about US$165 for 3 years. Total.]
Having designed, developed, Marketed, supported & maintained more complex Applications to/for a sizeable user-base (in US terms) over multiple complete Series of Product 'life-cycles' - regular Updates and all, I think I know where the pirates are.
These practices have been rampant in the MSWindows™ market for a longtime. It's a real shame to see it in the Mac world.
I have all the esteem in the world for those fellow human beings who deserve such - and programmers who are 'good decent nice people'.
I have none to spare for monopolists, 'exploitationists' or any of those who take unfair/unreasonable advantage of their fellow human beings - AND of programmers who are 'good decent nice people' (like, say, ME... .
In any event, as I said: they are "killing their Gooses": I know of at least 6 software companies which went this route a while back. All are dead or dying.
Thank you for your help - and the opportunity to apologise for 'mis-speaking'.
all the best,
orig g4 733, many others thru (the luvly) Macintels New & old Macs, Wintels, MacIntels, other systems...

My 3dmark scores are a joke need advice please

Hello, well I cant understand why my 3dmark scores are so bad, 6494.
my pc
MSI KT3 Ultra
512 Corsair cas2 PC 2700
80 gig barra 7200 (OS running on it)
40 gig barra 7200
30 gig WD 7200
Win XP Pro
Leadtek GF4 4200 64meg
I have configured my bios according to the settings guide on http://www.amdforums.com/showindex.php?s=&threadid=124482
Hard drive have also been defragged
I have also used River Tuner and have changed my settings from default to Core clock 279 Memory clock 567 that gave me an increase of around 400 points. But its still not what I had expected. what would be a safe limit to reach ?
I have the FSB set to 148x10.5
I would have thought my scores would have been around the 10,000 mark.
Anyone have any ideas as to why the score is so low or any ideas on how to improve performance.
I am so dam disapointed, it seems no matter what i try with this board it doesnt work.

hey Grandad,
try closing/disable PC Alert 4 AND Cooler XP,
and don't forget the programs running at the background, such like anti-virus programs (McAfee/Norton). Those services must not running while benchmarking.
TIP: the time of benchmark is also important.
After starting WinXP/system your processor is cold.
And a much better cooling is very recommended.
10 degrees celcius colder means 1000 points more.
ATTENTION: Don't adjust the PCI reserved megabites (for DirectX/OpenGL) at the display (drivers) properties.
I did that once, i had a lack of 40 fps at every benchmark test.
i hope this is usefull for you.
Thats why i got 10025 points with my GF4 Ti 4200 XP )

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
Detailed Test Results

Holy Shmoly phrozin! You running a NOS in those rigs?
Those score are a bit high. About what I get on my comparable 3400 system if I force null ps 1.x
How so?? all you haft to do is flash with xt bios to open 16 pipes then flash it back then volt mod it easy null px shader lol don’t thinks so! all scores are with fm approved drivers and whql

I finally get my fx 53 and vapour chill next week so im looking for mid 16k in 03 1 interesting point is the difference between k8n neo 2 and the asus both were running same clocks and same mem timings (I though at least 1 of you would have picked that up instead of craping on about null shader aint thats a nv thing anyhow) some what disappointing i had high hopes for the neo2
The same old story I cant do so it's impossible instead of asking how!

2011 iMac Boot Camp 3DMark Scores

So I got my new iMac a few days ago with intent of running Boot Camp for gaming in Windows 7, and all day to day computer operations in OSX. I am slightly disappointed in its performance so far when running games like Crysis 2 at higher settings. Some of this may improve with driver updates but according to AMD driver updates when using boot campy have to come from Apple, so GPU driver updates may be few and far between.
I was interested in seeing what everyone else running the new 2011 iMac's are getting in 3DMark06 and 11 when using boot camp.
Computer:
2011 27" iMac
3.4 Ghz i7
8GB Ram
AMD Radeon HD 6970M 2GB GDDR5
Scores:
3DMARK06 - 20915
Width: 1280
Height: 1024
Anti-Aliasing: None
Texture Filtering: Optimal
VS Profile: 3_0
PS Profile: 3_0
3DMARK11 - 3139
Used basic edition, only option that comes with trial version
Screen Height720
Msaa Sample Count1
Texture Filtering ModeTrilinear
Max Af Anisotropy1
Tessellation Detail5
All 3DMARK tests were run using the free trial version so all the settings were default. You can get 3DMARK06 and 11 from the link below.
http://www.3dmark.com
- Just click on benchmark in upper right and corner and you can select which one you want to download the trial to.
If anyone else has run these tests, or would like to, please post your scores here! Don't forget to include what hardware your running on your computer.
Thanks

The Hatter,
Which driver are you talking about specifically? Are you talking about the Catalyst Software Suit here:
http://sites.amd.com/us/game/downloads/Pages/radeon_win7-64.aspx
I have downloaded multiple drivers from AMD saying they are for the AMD Radeon HD 6970m but they each either don't apply at all or say that no compatible hardware was found? When i called AMD they told me that any support and driver updates for graphic cards used in Apple computers would have to come from apple? Have you had success from drivers downloaded from the AMD website?

Higher 3dmark scores threw overclocking on kt4 ultra

OK i just bought a 2100xp based on the assumption that id overclock it ....the first problem i noticed was my power supply wasent strong enough. so i swaped it out with my other computer and i got the fsb up to 133. When i let fussy logic test out overclocking i come up 139. now my 3dmark scores sould be a little higher like maybe 13600. but i cant even get close withouy that extra 6 mhz on the fsb. So after reading threw posts i heard that if you set it to 166mhz a new driver enguages for the 333 fsb processors but when i do it just like all the other posts i get no post....so i was wondering if it could be a voltage problem much like from 100 to 133 like alot of people are having or if my processor is stoping it. but i thought the lock was just for the multiplyer and ive been told to lower that to acheve higher fsb speeds. I havent thought of over clocking my radion yet...... and have read that the xps pretty much can hit 2.2 or even 2.1. so im really confused why i cant up my bus....i mean in the end if i unlock my cpu amd i going to raise the mulitpler so i can leave the bus at 139 (cause its stable) or if there was another way. im lookin for a 14500 3dmark score and ill be happy and i didnt want to spend the money on the unlocking kit so really i was looking for other options. when i got the motherboard i was pretty mad about all the so called problems but i got them cleared up and now am looking to see what i can do with it thanks in advance for all the help you guys are great

your not getting 166 with that cpu without unlocking it
so you can reduce the multiplier

You need a DATA service enabled by your carrier to be able to send e-mail via thier network. Do you have a data plan with your carrier ? If so - is it enabled ?
Can you access internet thru your network (not wifi) ?

Hi, I cant open a document I have been working on. It has previously been saved without a problem now all I get is a box stating that the file cannot be opened. Any suggestions please?

Hi, I reecntly purchased a Mac and the Pages App. But now I find that I cant open a document I have been working on. It has previously been saved without a problem now all I get is a box stating that the file cannot be opened. It is visible in both the Pages Windows and under Recent Items but just will not open. Any suggestions please?

Hi Colourdoodles,
Maybe the document is corrupted. Can you open other Pages documents? Preview may open it. Right click (or control click) on the document in Finder and Open With > Preview.
If that works, Edit > Select All, Edit > Copy. Then paste into a blank Pages document. Formatting may be messed up, but you will have editable text. Then Save (with a different name), close and see if you can open the new document.
Regards,
Ian

When I log out of Firefox it appears to be closed but obviously isn't because I cannot subsequently open it without doing a re-start - any suggestions please?

* Open Firefox
* Use Google search
* Visit one or more sites
* Exit sites[s]
* Close Google
* Firefox appears to be closed - icon normal
* Attempt to re-open Firefox - nothing happens most times
* Can only re-open Firefox after doing a re-start
* I am no computer expert so simple to understand suggestions please!

HI Noah:
Thanks for your answer. I'm working my way through the blog, and trying to take all of the steps. Hitman Pro did find 5 trojans, and many remnants of other malware, so hopefully that will help. I'll post again when I've finished trying everything else.
I had already run Malware Bytes, It did not find/remove the sweetim toolbar, but found a different trojan. Something is up with my antivirus I think.

Sorry for the delay...
I did what you've told me, new account and manually copied my files from Time Machine. I had lots of permissions problems, but at the end, almost everything is in order... It seems it had to be with some of the Apple Preferences, but I can't be sure, as most of them were dumped to the trash can.
I still don't have my Mail Rules back, unfortunately, although I did goggled some. It is a pity, as I had around 30 or 40 of them, getting my mail in order to each of its mailboxes, but it is a small price as the rest doesn't show the before syntoms.
Thanks for the help, anyway!!

I have copied my iTunes library onto a new computer, but when I play back the songs there seems to be random "miss" or "drop out". No probs with old computer, just the new one. I'm onto my third new computer - same problem. Any suggestions please?

I have copied my iTunes library onto a new computer, but when I play back the songs using the new computer, there seems to be random "miss" or "drop out" during play back, similar to a small scratch on a vinyl record. Although when I play the same song over again, the "miss" occurs in a different location during the song. No probs with old computer, just the new one. I'm onto my third new computer - same problem. Any suggestions please?

You don't say which version of iTunes you are using, but the symptoms you describe have been encountered by some users with the 64-bit version of iTunes 12.1.
There is an alternative version for 64-bit editions of Windows here:
iTunes 12.1 for Windows (64-bit — for older video cards)
that seems to address the most of the playback issues that some users have been reporting with the full 64-bit version of 12.1.0.77 - including problems with Bluetooth speakers where either sound is degraded or completely absent. The alternative installer here is the same architecture as most previous "64-bit" versions of iTunes, i.e., a 32-bit application with a 64-bit installer. The "for older video cards" label appears to be something of a misnomer as some people have reported that this corrects problems found on current / high-spec systems.
Some users have reported that after installing this alternative version it is necessary to adjust the "Play audio using" selection (normally to "Direct Sound" rather than "Windows Audio Session", though this may vary based on your audio hardware/drivers) in Edit > Preferences > Playback to restore glitch-free audio (one part of the reported symptoms is that the "Direct Sound" choice isn't available, usually in Windows 8). It may also be necessary to ensure that your Bluetooth speakers are active and selected as the default audio device before you run iTunes.
If this doesn't address the issue, you may want to think about reverting to iTunes 12.0 - see Turingtest2's notes on Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for steps needed to completely remove all installed iTunes components, and for links to the 12.0 installers.

Where can I see the downloads LIST when downloading podcasts, like in the older version of iTunes? I find it frustrating that I see only one at a time now ! Any suggestions please?

Thanks for taking a stab at it: that didn't prove to be the problem. That option in the settings for tabbed browsing was not checked.
I may be a bit behind the times: I am used to tabbed browsing showing all the tabs it possibly can, instead of just the last one. Sometimes it won't even show the last tab: I can have 15 tabs open, and not see a single tab. I've been confused by this into closing a window with lots of tabs open, because it looks like a single page-window.
My main problem with the tab-bar flashing to the end of the row is that it means a great deal more mouse-clicking around to browse.
I haven't tried installing the latest beta. Maybe that would fix the problem.
