Radeon 9700 pro 390/340

Tweaks run the games in this order
Dragothic Low
Dragothic High
Lobby Low
Lobby High
Nature
Car Chase High
Car chase low (run this 10-15 times)

This is because car chase low can change and will get cached in the grx buffers. After a few runs the score should jump up. You can run the tests 1 at a time it will say you don't have enough information to compile a score just change the test and run it again when all the game tests are run it will work a score out for you. Also win2k is faster than XP if you really want to take benching a bit too far

I had problems with overheating of my 9800xt originally but i found a sweet solution.....Antec 1040b case with only 2 fans located in the back you can feel the cool air blowing right through to the front.... I open the side panel and feel the card and its as cool as it was comming out of the box this case rocks and yes the system is oc'd to 3.4gig and i leave the sytem running 24/7/365 however the vid card is not oc'd yet that is next but i have no worries with this case.....Glad you talked me out of the Thermaltake case is was originally going to go with......

Nah...my case has GREAT airflow...Now that I've got a 9800Pro OCed PAST 9800XT speeds, I feel zero need to spend the extra $200.00 for the 9800XT.

Probably it for me now back at uni and my machine seems to overheat more than at home. You should be beating me easily with those 9800xt's
