Via K8T800 Pro Chipset
 

Tech Report takes a look at the new VIA chipset aimed at bringing even better performance for the AMD64's to the consumers. Its fast, its 64 bit, and its powerful. Let's see how the crew at Tech Report liked it.

Whats under the hood of your machine?

That's what I've got.

Now thats what Im talking about. MO POWER!

Your 3dMark03 is screwed up. 7000 points? Ive got a little different setup with better results:

AMD 64 3000+ @ 2175
Crucial 1GB PC3200
WD 80JB
Windows XP Pro
Powercolor Radeon 9800 Pro 256mb

3Dmark03 - 9078
3Dmark01- 22,120

Check your background services running etc. Something is seriously robbing you of points.

It's the video memory, it seems that 256 is much better than 128, I believe that's what's knocking my score down.

I doubt thats the factor thats slowing you down.

The only other thing is if the overclocking utility is giving me bs speeds.

Dont use the utility that OC's from within windows. do it through the bios, thats a more truthful way. Set it up in the bios like you would in windows and see if its stable and produces better results.

I think he's talking about video card speeds..

Yeah, I'm talking about Rage3d.
