    Re: no body's said where to get 3dmark

    get 3DMark2001 SE from the link Daneo provided.

    I finally got my Geforce3 Ti 200 to a decent score of 7140 had to make many minute tweaks and run 3DMark about 20 times....

    Indeed! excellent lighting and water efeects. :lol:

    Another one is "Flightsim2002" (From takeoff to landing, with resollution AND detail at max), you'd swear you were really flying. Very nice graphics....but noy very action-packed.....

    Also try "Giants: Citizen Kabuto". Impressive graphics also, but kinda cartoonish. Nice details and very colorful. good action gameplay with little comedy mxed in...(sounds are great with good speaker setup). Excellent with Sterio (3-D) goggles... :D

    You have all forgtoten the ultimate benchmark programe at the moment. Go get the Code Creatures benhcmark, minimum specs are 128mb GFX card that supports DX8.1 512mb of System Memoary and over a 1.5 Ghz CPU.

    My friends XP 2000+ with 512mb of ram and a GF Ti440 got on average 21 FPS @ 1024x768. It wouldnt even run the actual benchmark which goes upto 1600x1200.

    Check on NVidia.com in the developers section (you don't need an account or anything) and get some demos and things from there. Downloading the whole 'effects browser' package would be a good idea to have a look at some of the effects the new cards can do (not necessarily stress tests).

    Look at both ingame rendering options and options in your cards configuration.

    Tech demos generally tend to test your card out more than games because most games are designed to run on lower spec machines even if there are rendering options available.

    I don't mean to be rude, but isnt that a little bit low for your specs? CLICK HERE for a score you should be owning

    If you need any help getting a better score, drop me an e-mail jeffwellock@msn.com or pop into #=sim= on qnet
