First, I dont really understand the whole thing with DX9 video cards. Why would one have to buy a DX9 video card if you can just download and install directX 9 on a non Dx9 card? The only thing i can think of is that maybe installing DX9 on a non DX9 card will allow that card to run whatever game it is that requires it, but the graphics quality wont be as good as running DX9 on a DX9 video card. Am i right?
Also, In 3dmark 2001 SE, usually people get scores in the 1X,XXX's right? Well I have an AMD tbred B at around 2.4Ghz and about 170fsb. Semi relaxed ram timings, and a Saphire Atlantis 9000 PRO 128mb oced from 275core,250mem, to 310Core and 280 mem.
My 3dmark score is just a little more than 2000!
Anyone know why this is?
Thanks In Advance!
