mem 270@288 cant go higher and be stable :(

3dmark03 313 = 4776
after patching to 330 version i got 4605 score (twice)
went back to 313 version got 4776 again

mother nature test slowed down from 95fps in begging to 60 on 330 version

i thought the patch had something to do with nvidia not ati :)
 
I am getting the message DrawIndexedPrimitive failec error.

ati has a 1.9% expected drop in score from tests done by futuremark.. almost all of it stemming from around an 8% odd drop in game test 4 (nature)

the score SHOULD drop because either there is a valid bug in game test 4 or ati is running application specific coding in catalyst 3.4 version...

the overall 1.9% score variance lies within futuremarks stated 3% variance unlike nvidia's 24% odd variance overall and over 50% variance in a couple of tests... ati's variance == around 2-2.5 fps in gt4...

you score WILL drop... it is expected...
 
when you update to ver. 3.2 a message will appear saying that with DX9 you get higher score than DX9a
 
It's only a silly benchmark. It's such a drag all the time, effort, and resources that companies put into getting good benchmark scores, instead of real world performance.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
