Unimpressive result ...
My Quadro FX1100 was somewhat faster (I started with a Northwood 2.8/533 to install and get a baseline) but system crashed, and haven't been able to boot with that card again.
Trying some OC of the Willamette, but seems 1.9 is the limit for that one. May try a 1.8 from the stack, but they're all C0 stepping unfortunately.
I was also out of actual s478 heatsinks, so right now, I'm using the retention mechanism called "gravity" which might not put adequate pressure on ... 🤣
Anyways, here are first shot - everything is standard 😉
Pretty cool to browse VOGONS on such an old system - unfortunately I can't remember my password, so not logged in from there 😉
ASUS P4P800 SE, 1GiB of DDR in DUAL-channel config. Palit Daytona GF4 Ti4200 - all at stock speeds
You should test with some older drivers. You'll probably get a bump in score.
Found some XP drivers. Not sure about the version now, but figured they'd be old enough 🤣 can't quite get the hang of how old it makes sense, or some good source to use for information?
[Edit] the link you posted earlier on is pretty clear about that. Thanks, I'll investigate further 😀
There's a lot of old Nvidia drivers versions on vogonsdrivers. I picked the one I used there.
But sometimes the description does not specify the supported GPUs (so you need to check online)... and sometimes it's specified but contains errors...(so you also need to check online)
In my first test I used XP and the latest driver. With W98 and earlier driver i achieved a 1000/1500 higher score.
Probably worth a try
