TNT2 Trouble

[Technophylic]

Hi

I have a Athlon xp 1500 + with 256 ram and soltek 75kav mb. The 3d card is a 32 mb riva tnt2 . i read from reviews that a 3d mark score of 1600 would be decent at a resolution of 1024X768. But i get ony around 800. and twice this at 640X480. I have the loaded the latest Nvidia drivers. this doesnt seem to help much. i am running direct x 8 with winxp. is there any setting to be tweaked in the display property. how can i improve the frame rate and the 3d score.

Change the settings in the driver appalet to best performance in opengl and such....

BTW, which 3DMark are you running? 2000 or 2001SE? I wouldn't go higher than 2000 with a TNT2.

I ran 3d mark 2001 se. the place where i saw a score of 1600 was using the first edition. I am still puzzled if the version change could reduce the score so much?

Of course it could. I get 2x as much scores running 2000 vs 2001SE on my video card!

I think he meant 2001 first edition vs. 2001 second edition, and no, the score should not change between the two.
