I was just wondering, do most people run 3DMark 2001 SE with AA on? or off? If I look in my video card options when I right click on the desktop there is a setting for AA. With 2x my 3DMarks are lower(even though in 3DMark 2001 SE it still says "No AA", with it off I get higher. What do most people use so I can accuratley compare my score to others?

The vast majority of people regularly test with FSAA disabled, unless specifically stated otherwise you can generally assume it's disabled. Though frankly, I don't think most knowledgeable enthusiasts put to much faith in 3DMark results.

People run it off because they like to see pretty big numbers. IMO if you play games with FSAA on, do yer damn benchmarking with it on as well. And there is NO setting to accurately compare 3DMark numbers.

The default benchmark is with AA off. These are the numbers that most people compare when "boasting". I'll take the opportunity to boast my 11313 with my GF4Ti4600 running at default clock/memory. I'm placing in the top 10 with systems comparable to mine.
