3DMark 2000 question

[Stang289]

Why am I getting the same score when testing at different resolution? I have run the benchmark at 1024x768, 800x600, and 640x480 all at 16-bit and I get the same score(same FPS too). The system I am testing is a Celeron 466 with 160MB RAM and a CL TNT2 Ultra 32MB.
Thanks,

cpu is too slow.

 

[Stang289]

Wouldn't FPS still be higher at 640x480 than at 1024x768?

Yeah they should be!?!?!??!?!

It's a strange computer world!

Did you reboot everytime you changed the resolution?

Did you install the Via 4 in 1 drivers?they improve speed & stability with Via chipset boards(MSI K7T PRO2A).

Also check you have FSAA diasbled on your MX card,go in to Nvidia display panel under D3D etc & turn it off.

After you change resolution check to mae sure it has accepted that Res. This was happening to me when i changed res in settings, but it wouldnt save it properly

This is not on my Pro2a setup. It is on my old computer(Dell) that I just upgraded from a PII 266 to a Celeron 466. The mobo is an Intel AL440LX. Yes, I did reboot between tests, and the resolution changes did take. I have no idea what the deal is.

make sure vsync is disabled. If it is on then the max framerates will be capped at the refresh rate Therefore if the high resolutions can hit fremerates equal to your refresh rate than the lower resolutions will never exceed that with vsync on.

 

[Stang289]

Yes, I have the Vsync disabled. I am baffled. I am going to fiddle with a few more things and if it is still doing the same thing, I will give up on 3DMark.
