7300gt low 3dmark

[ryanlopez4550]

I built my brother a computer with:

amd 3000 939
ecs mobo its the ati something or other chip (he wouldnt let me pick out an nvidia mobo)
2x512 mushkin ram ddr 400
leadtech 7300gt 256

Normally i see 7300gts getting like 4-5k on 3dmark05 but hes only getting ~3000

i reinstalled direct x and the nvidia drivers but i cant figure out why this is happening

its not exactly an amzing system

3d mark compiles data from alot more than ur video card so if others got a higher score they had better overall components or may have overclocked there components that is why ppl with the same video card get better 3d mark scores

I think your problem is in slow CPU and memory timings settings.

from memory that 3DMark sounds about right in comparison to my 6600GT and my old 6200TC
