Passed 5000 points Wall 3DMark2001SE

[osckhar]

Hi Radu,
At the moment is not possible to reach 6000Points. I think my V6k is limited for the bandwidth. So, a Quad Core CPU will not help more than a Core2Duo. I have tried to up FSB, O/C CPU, agressive timmings and nothing... The only way for getting extra points is overclocking V6k.

V6k @195MHz

Hey Oscar wait for Intel's Penryn and AMD's Barcelona they should give you more speed

[ggab]

anyway it's QUITE impressive!!

outstanding score

[m14radu]

the score is amazing
Good work osckhar !

Try also to push an v5 5500 to the limit !

[Obi-Wan Kenobi]

heh yeah a 5500 PCI should do it I wonder how far a 5000 can go since they have SGRAM  won't the do better than 5500 because of the SGRAM's better latencies?

Anyways I had to sell my MPX board because of the need for money heh, sold it nicely though hehe.
I wish you all the best with your upcomming experiments Oscar, now a Rampage man heh wonder what that will do with improved drivers

[osckhar]

Well, with a V5 5500 AGP @185MHz it can reach 4100Points!

V5 5500 AGP @185MHz - AGP2PCI -
4023Points

Nice score! But I think this is the end. No faster CPU's will help if the card keeps being limited by the interface. Hank could build an AGP4x-6000.

Hank could build an AGP4x-6000.

LoL, it would be a solution!!!

ps. Anyway, the last way for getting extra points is updating the card with 4'5ns. With the bottle neck problem a fast CPU does not help.

Nice score Osckhar,

With a better cooling you should be able to run the v5 5500 at 200MHz.
This will bring some more points !

and what about the geforce 2 and GTS model's points?

to see who is more powerful.... []

bye!

A GeForce2 Ultra can easily pass 7500 3DMarks.

but i see this difference:

V6k @195MHz : 5818 points
GTS 32 MB @ 240/215 MHz: 5325 points


so an overcloked v6 + AGP2PCI (Modded) on PCI Bus - 66MHz

is better, isn't it?

[just_me]

osckhar, where did you get the AGP2PCI bridge ? I would need two of those since I have two old AGP 3dfx cards and nowhere to insert them

Please, please please ?

Hey Osckhar, how about testing under 98SE? I'm quite sure you'll hit the 6000 point then with ease

Since 98SE should give you a nice 500 to 1000 points boost
I'd use AM 2.9 or the latest Raziel64 drivers

Okay no support for 98SE, how about Win2K Pro = SP4, that is still faster than XP in Glide games as 3D mark 2001SE, it should deliver about a mere 250 a 320 points extra
