Sup guys I just got my new Sapphire ATi X800. I downloaded 3DMark 03 before downloading any new drivers, and I currently have Direct X 9.0c. It crashed after the troll and the girl with the sword test. I then downloaded the newest ATi Drivers (ones released for Doom III) and now it crashed after the robot type on (2nd test I belive). Anyone know why this is happening? Thank you for your help, I highly appreciate it.
What was your previous card before this? and did you properly uninstalled/reinstalled drivers... also reinstalling Chipset Drivers also go Start -> Run -> type in "dxdiag" -> Display Tab, and make sure that everything is enabled
I used to have a Geforce FX 5200 Ultra...I ran Driver Cleaner 3. I cleaned the Driver.cab and then I ran the wizard to clean everything off. Everything is enabled on DXDIAG. After 3DMark 03 crashes, I get this error when trying to reopen:
Hmm, I found this: http://www.futuremark.com/download/hotfix/3dmark03/readme.txt I'm going to test it. I will let you know how it goes.
I updated the DLL and it doesn't crash anymore. I did notice, however, that for some reason I was getting extremely low Frame Rates on the CPU tests. Anyone have any suggestions? http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k3=2880917
I get crappy CPU tests as well... it drags my score down a bit... we have basically the same comp, what was your score?
I scored just over 8500 with my X800. I have the ATI card; so, it's probably a bit slower than the third party cards.
That score is looking better . A few tweaks and 10k is no prob . You need to publish your compare link so we can look at it . Good job fixin yo prob !
I just downloaded the newest Catalyst drivers with the "overdrive" tab. My 3DMark03 is now 9935!!! Man; this card kicks serious butt!!! I pre-orderd Doom3 today and will be picking it up tomorrow. I'm thinking...I'll be very busy for a while! BTW: 3DMark01 = 17814.
