[bunjiweb]

hi, i thought i would post my 3d mark scores using different Detonator 3 drivers on my TNT 2, becasue i am not sure if i should bne getting any higher.
these are all at 800x600x16 bit colour:
6.31 - 3460
6.34 - 3434
6.49 - 3450
6.50 - 3211
7.52 - 3104
10.8 - 3111

at the moment i am sticking wiv the 3.49, are these scores low??

AOpen AK33
Riva TNT 2 (Diamond)
256mb PC 100

You shouldn't just go on the 3DMark score, that is not a reliable way of determining speed.

For example, in tests the 7.52 version doesn't give the best 3DMark score but is faster in real games. As far as the TNT2 goes, on mine, I tried various driver sets a while ago ranging from 3.68 to 6.47 and I found that 5.45 were the best. They didn't have the best 3dmark score (about 15 lower) but had very good frame rates in UT (direct3d) and Half-Life (openGL).

Of course, this will vary from system to system. Myself, I am considering trying out some of the newer drivers as DirectX8 titles are soon going to enter the market. 7.52 seems to be getting some good press and is a DX8 set. We shall see....

Also, if you are doing 3dmark2k scores, I would reccomend doing them in the default setting, 1024X768, because this is what most people use, and they would be able to compare much easier.

at 800*600 those scores are very low, but try it at default..and make sure v-sync is off
