*g*

Actually gave it a shot and came in at 714 Points (good ol' DeltaChromeS8 running again).

Do I need Viagra now ??? Lips Sealed

PS.
IMHO (for the poor Performance the Bench is imposing on almost all maintream Cards) the Visual Eyecandy is close to non-existent.

I mean, I'm seeing Low Definition Textures and really nothing breathtaking. In short, nothing to excuse the insane Hardware requirements to leave the "Slideshow" region of performance... Worst 3D Quark ever IMHO.

Funny thing is, that even running all basic Tests (or, for crying out loud, watching the dumb Demo) you're actually expected to pay like 20$ Shocked

Tssss...

Reply #18 - 04.10.04 at 10:16:07 lol There is no "fire", for as long as you know the technical specifications/limitations of the Hardware and the development status of the Driver concerning a 4 days young synthetic Benchmark.

Funny thing is, that in order to publish a Score, you have to use either an ATI or an NVidia Card g (Futuremark does not seem to know any other manufacturers) The Bench labels the DeltachromeS8 as an "Generic VGA" for example

janskjaer Ex Member	Re: Anyone got a Built-By-ATi Radeon 9700 pro? Reply #21 - 04.10.04 at 19:59:41 It's possible that Futuremark would rather ignore any other manufacturers more like. They see ATI and nVIDIA as the streamline of manufacturers and don't feel others would be adopted. How rude.

Well I run the test with my current system (sheck my sig) and it came in at an honest 1365 marks.

Dunno if that is good or bad at this point, but according to what FalconFly got, shouldn't mine be lower than his? I dunno! Undecided

EDIT: Oh, and that's with the system back down to it's original CPU @ 1333.3MHz and mobo back down to 266MHz. Wonder what the score would be like when running at o/c speeds?

Reply #23 - 04.10.04 at 21:55:43 Yah mate, it's obvious that you'll get a higher score... 1. You're card is a Radeon - default 3DM05 support! 2. Falcon was running it on a Deltachrome! Shame that there isn't more support for 'other' cards...I suppose there will be update 'patches' EVENTUALLY... [pigs fly past window]

Reply #24 - 05.10.04 at 10:59:58 Oh right, so the 3DMark05 support has a beneficial factor on the score, depending on what chipsets they support? That's a bit harsh. Yes, they should get more extended support to other chipsets as soon as possible. Then it would be better.

Well, I've switched to using OMEGA drivers on my Radeon 9700 Pro, as the latest ATI betas will give an "OUT OF VRAM" error with 3DMark '05... Roll Eyes

Oh, and for everyone with broadband (lots of you) please be aware that I downloaded ALL 283MB of 3DM05 via a 'dial-up' connection! Shocked

And YES, it WAS worth the wait! Grin

PEACE! 8)

Reply #27 - 10.10.04 at 20:35:40 Make SURE you DL yourself the latest OMEGA drivers for the Radeon! They are WAY better than any ATI stuff! 8) (Also you'll NEED them to RUN 3DM05 - else it will crash [see my last post]) Radeon KIX A$$! 8)
