Interesting 3dmark2003 score on an older/slower PC.

MY PC's specs are below, and I get a score of 5800. When I hook my card up to a 2.4 GHz CPU, it goes to 6100. That's quite high for a Radeon 9800 Pro. I'm actually kinda surprised. lol. AND HAPPY! :

What do you think though makes my score THAT high even on a slower computer like mine. I saw a PC reviewed in PC Gamer that was an AMD FX-51, 1GB of RAM, and a radeon 9800XT gets only 6000? It's really quite strange, i think. Also, a GeForceFX 5900 256MB got only 4600 on an AMD AthlonXP 3000+?

3dmark03 or 05 isn't really CPU/MEMORY/ overall computer dependant at all, it's strickly video power....

no serprise at all

oh. ok. that's understandable.

run 3Dmark01. That test is more CPU dependant than either 03 or 05.

agreed.... 3dmark01 is one test that should provide you with some unique system info... still not COMPLETELY overall system preformance able.... but alot more
