Hi, I have a quick question, what are the optimal settings to use in the D3D and OpenGL tabs for the best possible 3DMark03 score? I have the omega 4.2 drivers.
 
I tried that on only the D3D side and my score dropped by more than 1000 marks...

Check the two boxes which do stuff with antialiasing and anisotropic filtering. I've got a swedish version of the drivers, but they'll read something similar to "application specific".
 
Ahh ok thanks a lot, I had those unchecked. Score is now 6663 which isn't tooo bad hehe:)

Heh, try turning it down to 320x200.....pretty funny if you ask me. Sure it looks like shit, but it DOES net me over 10,000 points. If that's what it takes then so be it. ;)

Just be sure you know what you're getting into. I never planned for my addiction to progress this far but now there's nothing I can do about it. I swear there should be some kind of AA group for overclockers.

Not that I'd attend or anything. ;)
 
You want a score at 1024*768 with texture and mipmap details slid all the way to the right, AA and AF set to app pref. D3D settings of course.

That's the universal default everyone really goes by to get their score. Especially since you never would play a game with the texture and mipmap all the way to the left. And if you do that, it's really deceiveing if you don't disclose that with your score.

My desktop with a 9700pro gets 5000 in 3Dmark03 (not bad for card a 1 1/2 years old)
My laptop with a 9600non-pro gets 2400.

That things' still got some kick left in it.....but I'm sure you could get even more out of it if you really wanted to. ;) :D
 
yea , been playing around here with my 9500np (with softmod stuff) and finally got this box over 5500. Just run your test at the defaults .. dont want to go bragging .....

"hey you got 8000+ , let me see that!" at the next lan party...
