GF2 GTS is incompatible with some 3DMark2001?

[gramb0]

Hello,

Just wanting to confirm that the GeForce 2 GTS is incompatible with the Nature Scene, Environmental Bump Mapping and Pixel Shader parts of the 3D Mark 2001 benchmark and that I didn't incorrectly set something up in my system (It also says it's running in D3D Hardware mode with DXTC Compression).

Scores are (1024x768x32bpp no FSAA)

Normal: 3056
OC: 3350

Normal = Athlon @ 1200, 256meg PC133, GF 2 GTS @ 200/333
OC = Athlon @ 1360, 256meg PC133, GF 2 GTS @ 230/400

Nature Scene(for benchmarking, I think you can see it in demo at lower quality) and Pixel Shader are geforce3 only.

Environmental Bump Mapping -- I would of thought gf2s supported this(maybe it does), but it skips it on my card too. /shrug.

GF2 does not support environment bump mapping in hardware, only emboss.

The only card I've heard of that does environmental bump mapping is the Matrox G400/450. Anyone know of any other cards (V5500 maybe?)

Listin if you click on Demo not benchmark and whatch the whole thing the nature scene comes up even though it does not say your vid supports it
I have a Geforce 2 Pro and they said it was not supported but when I ran the Demo I saw it and WOW it rocked

The Radeon does environmental bump mapping too.

I have heard people speculate that they would alter the benchmark to allow non direct x 8.0 cards to work. It would be hard to believe that they would do that, but who knows..
