OK here are some benchs
3D Mark99  at 800x600 16 bit default   7180  12010   this is not the Athlon
.dll's
3D Mark 2000 default 1024x768  4395
Q2   640x480  207fps   800x600 163fps 1024x768 137fps 1600x1200 68fps!
Q3  1024
fastest 88.0 fast 79.8 normal 78.8 high 52.3
Now you want to tell me that in UT that 42 fps at 1600x1200 and 50 fps at
640x480 doesn't sound a little odd?  Sure it does, just because you authored
a demo doesn't mean that the method that UT records the scores is anyway
near to being factual or correct.
