so they told me to test my new video card....

[LD]

their bad
I have a pretty strong computer, but had this crappy ATI graphics card
They put a new one in and said test it out
I blue screened the computer and fried a $400ish NVIDIA card
so they gave me a new one (this time not refurbished) and said test it out
this time it seemed to make it
we shall see
here's a print screen of my task manager right before it blue screened on me

I think thats a new personal best
I have been wanting to tach this baby out since I got it lol
score!

What model was the old card and what is the new one?

[LD]

the one I am currently running is cheaper than the one i fried but it's not a refurbished one
it is a Ge Force FX 5700LE (I think)
I don't know what the ATI was, but it froze up my computer about three times a week at least

[LD]

as just really happy I could make 4 virtual processors work at 100%
that took some effort!
(dual 2.8ghz pentium IV's with HT and 2 gb of RAM)

Wow at least it works now. I never heard of ATI's messing up pentiums just AMD's.

yeah, I was trying to work it hard
I am running 49 right now, and I am running winamp, on the internet, and running my programs for work
normally it isn't as high as 65, but I was running CATIA v5, Unigraphics NX3, ProE Wildfire, and I-DEAS 11 all at the same time, and all importing or exporting an entire engine cradle with all the welds

^ nope, that isnt the right 3dmark, thats 01, and you have some pretty low numbers for 01....

ive got an athlonXP 2800 (~2ghz, cant remember exactly)
1gig 3200lowcas
ATI radeon 9800 NON-pro (got if for $170)
2x 80gig SATA Seagate Barricudas (in stripe raid)
and i score 17000-18000 (depending on if ive oc'ed or not)

I score around 5700 on 3dmark 03, and around 2600 on 3dmark 05

[andrew.brandon]

damn man I feel bad. I only have a FX5200 PCI card, 640Mb ram, and a 1.8GHz celeron and I only got like 600 something on 3dmark03 [img]graemlins/rofl.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/rofl.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/rofl.gif[/img] thats my old machine


but I can't wait till I get my board back. Athlon 64 3200, 2Gb of ram, ASUS Extreem Nvidia 6800 PCX [img]graemlins/bowdown.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/bowdown.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/bowdown.gif[/img]

yeah I did a search on google and found some guys pulling like 22,xxx
is there anything I should do to set it up before I do the benchmark?
does this just test the video card or is it the whole computer?
I'll try to get 05 and see if I can run it again
all I did was shut down anything I had running I didn't shut any processes down via task manager
