Im talking about on 3DMark03

[Mr. Elmo]

but why does these scores matter? you only play bf1942 and that card has more than enough power to play it at max setting w/ aa and af on max.

Its just a way to compare really...I will update the scores shortly.

I don&#39;t know why you are really wasting your time with 3d mark03, Aquamark3 is a far superior benchmark.

Oh, and be sure to read to read tweakhound&#39;s guide to Norton...but only disable Antivirus if you are smart enough to remember to manually scan everything you download. You will see realtime performance increases if you do not have norton autoprotect service running all the time.

"real time scanning" is for newbs, which you might or might not be. Norton is a real resource hog, but I need antivirus to scan things I download from the internet. So I right click whatever I download and select "scan with norton antivirus," but I do not have it running in the backround all of the time; it uses up too much physical ram and CPU cycles, and I consider myself an advanced user.

Alright adam thanks for that tip&#33; I have used all of his other stuff and can tell a difference.

SCORES HAVE BEEN UPDATED ON FIRST PAGE

u dont need to run any tests other than the 4 game tests to obtain a 3d score so u can switch the sound test off

if u want to incraese that score without ocing u should switch the 3d control to optimal performance as i said b4 and just b4 u click run hit ctrl+alt+del, close all processes that aint needed and set 3dmarks priority to High.

If you have not noticed, barely anyone uses 3dmark03 anymore. Aquamark3 has become the standard for benchmarking because it uses all the features of DX8 and DX9.

Run it, post the link for us to evaluate.

Ok, Also when Im playing BF1942, the EA GAMES "challange everything" screen looks really bad. Also, the main screen is hard to read and is blurry. The gameplay looks great, but the words while im playing are also blurry and stuff...quite weird.

I am putting this in game world too.

[3rd gen noob]

are you going to give aquamark a bash?
