Scotty · 18-June-04, 09:32 AM

im hopeing someone can help me out here, i just ran 3D Mark 2003 on my new sytem and got a whoping great score of 961, how on earth can it be this low, as far as i know i have the leatest drivers for everything and its all working.

My sytem is

AMD 64 bit 3000+
ATI 9200 256mb
1GB PC2700 RAM

are my settings all wrong or is it something else?

Well not to burst your bubble, but the videocard you have chosen may have 256 mb of ram but stil dosent have the nesscessary clock/mem speed to give any real peformance. the 9200 is a budget card at best. not really a gamers card. ditch it and get a 9800SE. there cheap and with the omega soft mod you can make them perform like a 9800Pro or better for less than 150 bucks (newegg).
