3DMark Score... Whats the deal?

[n715dp]

Why are these scores so low?

100 FSB : 2869
105 FSB : 2949


AMD Athlon T-Bird 750 MHZ (788@105)
384MB PC100 SDRAM
Diamond Viper 770 Ultra (TNT2 Ultra 32MB)
MSI K7T Pro2-A
1024X768 16bit

Seems about right a TNT-2 video card with a 750 MHz processor. What nVidia driver revision are using for testing?

The largest limiting factor in terms of 3DMark performance scores is the lack of hardware transform and lighting for the TNT-2. T&L can offset the score by a couple of thousand points.

I ran the test twice, once with Det. 12.60 and once with 12.90. The .90 scores are the ones that I posted, they were only 10 pts. higher then the .60 scores. I was thinking that it had something to do with the TNT2 Ultra... I plan on upgrading that soon to a GeForece 3, just waiting for the prices to come down. After shelling out 200 on an Antec SX1240 case not too long ago it is tough to swallow a 400 video card. thanks for your input Robert, if anyone else has anything to add, I would love to hear it.


Thanks
