Man, this is just bad!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had 6.50 drivers, I used to get 4716, now with 12.41 I only get 4560.


My Spec:

P3 733EB
128MB RAM Crucial 2-2-2 133
13.2Gb HDD UDMA/33
Win98SE
Geforce 2 MX 175/166
Nothing Overlocked

I have found that my mark scores drop with some of the later detonators, but the 'eye-candy' increases -- meaning it LOOKS better, even if the scores don't reflect it.

I am more concerned with the look of my configuration/video card and not the benchmark, they are not always interchangeable.

I got higher benchmarks on my old system that were visually jittery. WTF is up with that???

I have found the older 6 series drivers to work best in 3d mark. The 6.67 driver is my favorite but 6.48 and 6.50 are just about identical. I would definitely go back to 6.50 or 6.67 if I were you.
