i'm using the detonator drivers (11.00) in my win me machine and when i swapped video cards i didn't even have to install new drivers. my hercules only runs at 270/510 before i start getting artifacts or crashes. the visiontek, my newer card, gets 285/515 and i haven't even tried higher. the weird thing is... my hercules will consistently get higher 3dmark2001 scores. even higher than the visiontek at 285/515:

hercules @270/510 vs visiontek @280/515 favors hercules by around 30-40 pts
hercules @270/510 vs visiontek @270/510 favors hercules by around 80 pts

what other factors are there besides gpu and memory?
