Okey i got my TI4800SE today and was dissapointed by a score of only 7,000 in 3dmark01, is this a good score for this card, i was expecting something over 10,000.
 
make sure AA and AF are off. another thing, nobody gives a shit about 3d marks here, so please don't ask. I've always said if it runs with a descent FPS in the games you play dont worry ;)
 
Whats the rest of your system,

1 of the weaknesses of 3dmark01 was that it focused to much on the system as a whole, so if u had a superduper vidcard in a medium system you would have the same/lower score as a medium card in a high end system.
03 is a better test as it focusses on the videocard, leaving the rest of the system out of the comparrison
 
Getting the obvious questions out of the way...

You are using the latest motherboard/chipset drivers?

You are using the latest nVidia Forceware drivers?

You have anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering set to 'none' in the control panel? And the performance slider set to 'High Performance'?

You should also do a full run, and post a compare link here. Do a full run of 3dMark03, as well, and post the compare link for that. 3dMark03 will upload your entire system details, which may help some.

Pardon me while I laugh hardily at that...

what game focuses entirely on the vid card and not general system performance?
What was the last game you got that says "PIII 450 and Radeon 9800 Pro recommended"?

3dmark 2001 has been negated as baseline systems now can score extremely high. For its time, it was a decent benchmark. If your system ran 3dmark2001 fairly well, odds are it could play most modern games.

3dmark 2003 is a damned joke. The Battle of Proxycon runs at like 2fps on my system. I score like 1500. I can still play every damn game for sale right now.

a Pentium 2 with a 9800 will score higher on 3dmark 03 than my Tbred 2.07GHz with a Ti4200 overclocked.
Tell me, which one will play modern games?

Now tell me 3dmark 2003 is a more valid benchmark than 2001.

Bingo
 
Both 3Dmarks are "valid" benchmarks..

Well, the Pentium 2 will actually get higher FPS in a DirectX 9.0 game because the card IS faster in those games. However, in DirectX 8.1 and OpenGL games the Tbred and Ti will smoke the P2. You need to realize that 2001SE is a DirectX 8.1 test so it tests that and also tests processor a lot, the processor can give a HUGE difference unlike in 03 where it has little significance. In 03 it tests the card's DirectX 9.0 and Pixel shader capabilites to a greater extent, and tests less on the processor. They are both valid tests, but they test different ways of rendering 3d images.

Also, I would bet that neither of them would play "modern" games at decent frames, if you refer to modern as CS:S, Doom 3, and others, but the 9800 would do better in those. However, if you refer to modern as Battlefield 1942, Counter-strike, warcraft 3, etc.. the Ti4200 would do better.

Well back to the Ti4800SE, After looking up benchmarks one review got: 13124 in 3dmark 01 with the Albatron GF4 Ti4800SE with a 2.8Ghz P4 and 512 Corsair RAM. 8-10k sounds about what I would expect to get with that card. I would do as everyone else recommended

1. Make sure you installed in this order: chipset, directx, videocard drivers
2. Make sure AA and AF are OFF
3. Turn everything to "High Performance" in the options tab
4. Make sure its at default settings 1024x768, Pure hardware, etc..
