My new sys
p4 1.7
ECS mobo
256mb sdram
gf2mx200

Why am I getting such low scores???

Is there anyway to get better score.

Set PCI texture memory value to 63mb... worthg a try - raised my scores from 3-4k up to 8-9k... although to get it to work properly you may have to remove rivatuner. Also ensure AA is set to let applications select level. Disable Vsync... and overclock the card -- its a bit pants afterall :(.

Yeah but some ppl set it low, as like i thought, they thinks its an AGP card, so why set up for PCI textures and thus lower it -- thing is this caused my gf4 to drop about 5000 marks :eek:

i think nVidia just need to label their control panels a little better, and EXPLITCITLY indicate something like this:

"WARNING, if you tamper with theeh little bar down here, yar scores can go bye bye"

LOL :D

Yeah - odd thing is ive spoken to two other people complaining about low scores and it did NOET for them... game performance is more or less the same though - might be sumink to do with 3dmark2001 rather than Nvidia :confused:

well 3Dmarks checks for everything, games only uses whatever they are programmed to use.

that's big difference there
