These are 3Dmark 2001 Default scores.
I knew the right drivers could improve performance, but this shocked me, the last score is a huge improvement over the first.
I'm anxious to see what happens with the Det. 4's

Good scores!

I might try those Via 4 in 1 new drivers as it seems they really helped you!

My mobo is an FIC az11e. 3dMark 2000 only increased slightly and Quake 3 stayed the same.

Well, it coz both 3DMark2001 and det 12.90 are DX8 optimized. I use 12.90 myself, waiting for det4 (20.80 ?) release ...

Best Regards ...
