Only 4 points gain in 3dmark2001se?

[Asestar]

I ran standard becnhmarks with r8500le 64mb, using cat4.1., 256mb agp
apperture, agp4x.

In "3D>direct3d" i set slider to "default" (high quality texture. and
mipmap), the result was 6320.
I set now to "maximum performance" (performance texture and mipmap), the
result came 6324.

That's only 4 marks difference? Is it normal?


I'm on duron1,3GHz, pc133 sdram, win-xp pro, dx9.0b, abit kt7A mobo.

The last time I bm'd a card at default and then performance setting was with
a 9600xt a week or so ago. the difference wasn't much (can't remember
exactly) maybe no more than a hundred? I am not surprised to see the
difference in your card. For some comparison though, try it at quality
settings. The 9600xt went from around 11600 to 4300?

I'm out of words! I set "high quality" and ran the benchmark. I got 6252!
That's with 8xAF! Only 70point drop.. not bad i guess..

 

[Asestar]

This just in.. At "optimal quality" I got 6066. I guess not a big drop
considering 16xAF, 2xAA quality.

Compaired to "high quality" 6252, "default" 6320, and "optimal performance"
6324.

Oh and card runs at 250/250 @ 254/254
What do you say?

Upggraded to what?

Also... duron 1.3 / PC133 will severely effect performance.... MORE
CPU power is needed.

 

[Asestar]

No upgrades. That's the whole point, all these test were performed on same
config in bios. Only changes were in ATI panel, as mentioned.
I know duron1,3 is not fast, but it's my secondary system, mainly for
surfing, movies and downloading.
However

But what do you think? Is it kinda good for this system?

I dunno... I have no idea what youre comparing your 8500Le to...

More than enough power for movies, surfing and downloading.
