Hi. I just discover a strange performance boost in 3D Mark 2006 and want to share it with you. I have an ATI X800GTO2 256 card with tvout. I connect my graphic card with a normal(not lcd) tv with the supplied s-video to rca converter. From Catalyst Control Center -> Display Manager I drag and drop my Tv as : Clone Main with TV.

That's it! I then have a +500 points in 3D Mark 2006, from 2469 it goes to 2960, same image settings, same clocks. I have a 19'' TFT @ 1280x1024 and the TV @ 1024x768.

Iam using 7.10 catalyst drivers.
Please test it if you can and report back to see if Iam alone, or this happen and in other users.

if its cloning it may be forcing to 1024x768.

I set the TV@ 640x480 and scored 2943 3d marks, so it's something else I suppose.

Have you checked the 06 score? It might say 1024x768 there, that happend to me when i connected my widescreen lcd tv via dvi.
