I was just wondering if anyone knows why I am getting such low 3d 2k1 scores. I just benchmarked my system with the newest Nvida drivers (12.90) and got a score of 1860. Most people seem to be getting around 2300 with similar systems.
Here is my rig:

AMD T-bird 900 mzh
Elsa Geforce 2 MX (12.90 drivers)
256 MB pc133 ram
Abit kt7 mother board with service pack 4.31 (couldnt get 3d benchmark to run in turbo mode so I had to run it in standard mode. Which i know is only AGP 1X, maybe someone can figure out how to fix that problem also)

Windows 98SE
DX8

Nothing is o/c'ed and antialiasing is off

Whats the problem???????
Thanks

Thats about right for your system, specially the 100fsb. Try overclocking the MX.

I though I heard in standard mode it was 2x agp...dunno for sure as I have no issues with my radeon running at 4x agp...

Is it correctly enabled in bios???

Hmmm, Does anybody know if this falls under the problem the newer reference drivers had with an amd chipset...Some member here said 4x agp worked fine until a certain driver set came out then it didn't allow him to run 4x agp. He chalked it up to nvidia cause he said he went back to older drivers and everything was fine.

I have no idea what the problem is but according to the text that came with my VIA 4in1 driver pack, putting it on standard mode overrides my bios and makes it 1x which really sucks. I tried to run it in turbo mode and turn the agp to 2x (insted of 4x) but my mother board only lets me enable 4x agp.

Ok so heres a question, whats a SAFE o/c level for my vid card? And would there be any real difference? I mean i wish i got better 3d mark scores but it really doesnt make that much difference b/c i have never had a game problem. I can run pretty much anything I want right now, just wish my system was running where comperable systems are running.
