havli - Rage Fury MAXX @ 150/170MHz - 8347 marks 3DMark 99 Max

[Stermy57]

Hi havli, I like your scores nice one

We know how to do well with ATI Rage 128 and 3DMark 99.

[havli]

Thank you... I'm not sure I still remember how to get R128p working properly though It has been a long time sice I benched these GPUs last time. This round will be interesting.

[Stermy57]

Me too

Do you think that Rage Fury Maxx can beat the simple Rage 128pro?

[havli]

It might, but also depends on CPU and MB. RFM is more sensitive to high AGP clock, that's why I had to run only at 124 MHz FSB... the CPU itself is stable even at 140.

[Stermy57]

Same point of view.

I noticed myself that agp clock speed is important.

Do you prefer BX440 or Via?

At the moment , I,m focused on VIA

[havli]

In this case, VIA should be better - assuming it supports 1/2 AGP divider. Unfortunately BE6 and PIII 700 are the best things I have for Slot 1.
