Strange results in 3DMark2001SE. A few months ago, I was receiving a score of 6377 but it has now dropped by over 500 Points!! I installed RivaTuner at about this time and noticed that if I disabled AA in RivaTuner it became enabled in Coolbits and Vice Versa!! I am now wondering if I have 2xAA installed whether I like it or not. The big drop in scores occur in the car chase and the lobby. On the flip side look at the score for the nature scene!!

Must admit that I haven't really noticed any change whatsoever in games. I play SOF2, JK2, AVP2, MOHAA et al at 1280x1024 with everything maxed out with no probs at all (I have a Cornerstone 21" Monitor).

Any ideas anyone?

Warrior on the edge of time

forget 3dmark200x - who cares? if your games run fine, it's allright. everyone is talking about 3dmark, but it is actually a program with a highly optimized code that does in no way resemble the game performance of today's games.
just play and enjoy

if u need help go to MO, people in here don`t give rats A$$ about it.. :roll:

People in here dont give a rats ass about anything but complaining.

Let the moron parade begin

Look, I couldn't give a s**t about 3Dmark but I am interested as to why my score dropped.

Love playing my games maed out at 1280x1024 but this 3DMark thing is like a scratch that won't go away!!
