Yeah, I lost 100 points from the 3.8s in 3D 2001 and I don't think the 3.9s look as nice either.
I've gone back to the 3.8s - and my monitor still hasn't exploded.

HWG WITH LOSING 100 POINTS IN 3DMARK LOOK AT IMAGE QUALITY AND SEE IF THE IQ IS BETTER ON THESE DRIVERS!!

@ 442
Euh! You have a GF4Ti 4800 and you're trying the new catalyst. Lol! Expect the 100 point loss!

*edit*
Now it's better!

Whoops! Thanks INTELL for pointing out my oversight.
My spec that was posted here previously was a year old!!

I still prefer the IQ on the 3.8s, but that's just my two cents.

What drivers were you using before???

I think I gained about 100p in 3DMark03 (5697p now), 3DMark2001 remains untested (and uninteresting as well). OpenGL games seem to play better too, but then I've only got Jedi Academy to play.
Everyting's running at 2xAA and 8xAF.

i was having problems with mark03 before i got the new drivers so i was only scoring about 4700 for some reason. i wrote down that i scored 5642 w/ 3.7's. not sure what i should have gotten with 3.8's. i got 6021 with the new 3.9's. thats 400 more than what i got with the 3.7's. im also getting 42520 in aquamark. with omegas 3.8's i got like around 41000 i believe. overall they seem better but not by a whole lot. im going to run mark01 SE and see what i get. originally scored 15737 with 3.7's.

looks like i got 150 more points in mark01 SE than before(3.7's). im going to try the new omega drivers now and see how those go.

I am getting 5299 in 3DMark03, with the 3.9's, I am not happy with this score for the card I have and want to know how to get it better than it is.

Not OC'ed by the way just stock clocks.

Hmm... I get 5,550 3D2003 Marks.
Yet your system is better than mine.

hi

look at my scores
CAT 3.7 CAT 3.9

3d 01 12220 12540
ut2k3 143.5,55.6 147.2,59.61

they are absloutely stable too. ran the 3d mark 03 loop for 4.5 hours without a single glitch.

Will the score go down due to the system needing a defrag?

^^^ Wish our mobos supported dual channel mem... scores would be much higher

I'm scoring ok with my setup (only vid card oc'd):
