Which OS for best 3DMark2001 scores? I noticed that I got my best stock (non-overclocked) scores under Windows 2000 (serivce pack 2), with my nForce IGP I could hit 2400 3DMarks without much tweaking. When I "upgraded" to Windows XP my stock speeds dropped down to 2200. With APIC enabled I was able to recover to 2600 3DMarks, but I wonder would I hit maybe 3000 3DMarks with Windows 2000 again? I've seen some lofty scores for the nForce IGP on the ORB, and they all are using Win2K :D |
Only the two first ppl at the top at the ORB with the nforce GPU use win2K, all the other use winXP and are behind with just a few points. I don't think it makes that much a difference... By the way, (almost) all the big blokes with a GF4 Ti4600 use winXP, i should stick with winXP too if I were you. 2600 3D marks? Still 300 to go if you wanna be at the top! :D |
Heh, those guys at the top of the ORB using the nForce are overclocking their IGP big time. If I were to OC my IGP... hehehe. I only have passive cooling on it, maybe i'll pop some kind of fan on it and then proceed... I bet I could reach 3000 3Dmarks no problem! Now, If only i could find a small good fan... |
That shouldn't be a problem. I'm suprised you didn't change the cooling yet! Trying to reach the top with passive cooling? Hehe... :wtf2: Just by yourself a crystal orb, that should be more than efficiënt cooling! :^) |
if you're using AMD : win2k for 3DMark if you're using Intel : winXP thats what OPP said |
My top score is also a win2k based one. Can't get that high with XP |

so, i'll have to get a new OS then (same for K6/2 i guess?) |

I'm sure OPP tested this out and he said it on icrontic (and the 3DMark proof is there, like you noticed), so for his sytems this seems to be the case |
intel + xp is like quake+ intel, my man... |
