High detail before around 50 FPS, and now not below 75 FPS!!!!.....and so on,and on.

I rarely call into question what people post on this newsgroup but I have to say I'm somewhat suspicious of these numbers. I don't recall EVER seeing the Nature test run anywhere near 40. Not even Maximum PC's dream machine turned in scores like that. I too have a GF 3. Also T-Bird 1200 (266) with 256 DDR PC1200, etc, etc. I get 20 in Nature, just like everyone else's scores I've ever seen. That's with no OC'ing of any component. 40 is just way out there...not even close to any scores I've seen posted for that test. I'm going back to MadOnion and see what the absolute highest score anyone has ever posted. I'm sure whatever it is, it was on a system that was so OC'ed it had a liquid cooled CPU and GF3 :O) JP

OK...I checked it out. Seems you can get 40 to 50 fps in nature at the default settings (1024x768x32). You need a 2000 to 2400 OC'd P4 with a highly OC'd GF3...and some other tweaks as well. 'nuff said... JP BTW - the ones I checked at this outrages speed were using 21.80's

I'm eating crow now...... :O) Damn!! My 3DMark scores went up to 6900 from 5900 with the 21.81's. That's with all kinds of Norton utils active in the background including anti-virus. I know I could get over 7000 by deactivating them. Also, Q3 went up 10 fps with all eye candy on at 1600x1200x32...same deal, no tweaks. MDK 2 up 11 fps at 1600x1200x32, ditto. Nature averaged 36 fps! Topped out over 50 during the test! I'm stunned! I'm also a believer. My apologies to you, Klave! jpshark
