--Benchmark Guide--

well I orderd the card, so I guess will see.

[GeekRock4Life]

8xAGP is actually a technology that is unable to be taken advantage yet, dont ever tell someone their 8x agp video card wont work it a 4x slot, becuase IT WILL...on top of that, you can run a 8x card in a 4x slot and see no performance difference between running it in a 8x slot...please know your stuff before scaring people like that

[Zynk]

thanks hehe

I am only getting a 2300 score; It doesn't seem right

I have
Windows 2k
p4 1.7 GHz
512mb ddr
GeForce FX 5200 128MB ddr

does my score seem right?

[MET4LFOXUS]

update your drivers, that might help

[sHaDoW hEal2t]

when's the last time you re-formatted your computer?

[brezick]

I reformatted in Janurary, installed fresh version of win2k, and ill check my drivers, but I just got the video card 3 weeks ago

[Sephiroth_Renzo]

yeah my pc is scoring 2500 with just a

winxp
p4 1.5 ghz
512 ram
geforce 4800 ti 128 mb

does the benchmark lag or seem a bit slow running to you? does a bit for me.
this must be the motherboard/processor problem for us people getting low scores with good cards..
if thats the case could some recommedations for buying be advised if i were to upgrade

btw the benchmark stops for me when the tatura is waving at the end in the sunset at that beach.
my friend says his goes on longer, is this true?

[sHaDoW hEal2t]

how fast is your diskdrive?
