Why can't I run Nature in 3DMark2001 with Radeon LE (Win 2000)?

It partially ran once with my LE-->DDR, but I haven't been able to get it to run since. 3102 and 3205b drivers. Me want all those pretty butterflies. :(

Score is 2617 at 1024x768x32.
Win 2000
Celeron 880
LE-->DDR and Raidon Tweaker, at 191.

You should never have been able to see it with a radeon le/ddr.

I can't remeber what it was, something like pixel shading or something that only lets it run on the gf3 or the radeon2 once its released.

Weird, because the first time I tried it it ran for a brief moment. The butterflies stuttered like crazy but it was on my screen. Now 3DMark2001 just skips the test. I don't remember what settings I changed.

Um, i think that was the demo you were running... but the actual benchmark itself, won't work because the Radeon doesn't support Pixel Shading.

If you could find what you changed I'm sure alot of Radeon owners would be happy to see it. BTW the nature scenes are very sweet I hope gameplay gets there soon. Could you imagine B&amp;W looking like that?

Hmmm.. Perhaps your right - I could be remembering incorrectly. I'll check again. :eek: In any case, it only ran for about 1-2 secs before it kicked the card out.
