Do the desktop resoloution and colour depth affect the default 3d mark scores.

Eg. my system is at 1280 x 960 32 would this affect a 1024 x 768 32 benchmark ??

I don't see any reason why it should alter it. It should only matter on your 3D settings. Your 2D res and color depth have nothing to do with 3D.

I asked because a year or two ago I could have sworn that i saw something saying the opposite at ......... I think ......... Tomshardware Guide.

Nope, it's gonna change to whatever you set it to in 3DMarks2k1. But if you have wallpaper, it might effect the performance a little by eating up some RAM

thanx weaponx ................ would animations etc also affect it ?

Voodoo Rufus · Feb 20, 2002

Possibly, but since 3dMark takes up the whole screen, as long as you don't move the mouse it should be fine (assuming you were talking about animated icons).
