alright my stock ti4200 made 11125 in 01' andm y new 6600GT AGP only makes 13k ?!?! wtf is up with that ? i ahvent been impressed with the new drivers for it, is there any other drivers out there for it ? i would expect a big difference from a measly ti4200 up to a 6600GT.

thanks,


-Ryan

...could be because the ti4200 is optimized for DX8, and the 6600 is optimized for DX9. 3DMark 2001 is a DX8 benchmark, try comparing the cards in '03 or '05, and see what card comes out on top...

...BTW, if you don't already have DX9 installed, you're not getting the full potential out of the 6600...

Does 3D Mark 2001 SE just give you a low score (the totals) or does 3D Mark 2001 SE also give you bad performance measurements (Ex. Nature has a majorly low FPS) (and/or a majorly low fill rate with the fill rate tests, you probably know, the tests with stripes of colors on the screen)
