How can I get Higher scores...

Explorer · 03-18-2004, 11:45 AM

...without buying anything, My specs are..

Athlon 2600+ XP
512MB Ram
128Mb Radeon 9500 Pro

I barely get 3000 on the FFXI benchmark, But what Im more worried about is my 3DMark03 score..

I notice my FBS is at 66Mhz even though I have it set to 133Mhz

Thx for any help.

3dmark is a pile of dung :mad:

anyway, that's the setup I have and trust me, it'll run great (12x10 res, 16x16 background res, 8xAF).

I would double check your FSB in the bios tho. Make sure you do have it for 133 sync (tho, gasp, 3dmark could be reporting it wrong). Sandra would tell you too if you've downloaded that.

I dunno, it seems people with lower specs then me are getting nearly twice as much marks...
