How can I tweak my system with RivaTuner or any other program to get better and more stable results with 3DMark05.
From one test to another the differences can be as high as 100 points, caused almost alone by Return to Proxy. Scores for Firefly and Canyon Flight are quite stable.

Why is that so weird. Performance is caused by 2 factors, The CPU and the graphic processor.
AMD always scores better than Intel with gaming.
Lucky you.
Set LOD +3. It will give you more points but graphics will look terrible.

Thank you for the tip.
You are right, graphics looks terrible, but there is no improvement in score whatsoever, so I suppose my CPU must be the limiting factor.
Without AA and FSAA my score is roughly 7900. With 4AA + 8FSAA my score only drops to 7800, just a meaningless 1.3%.
This is probably another sign that without AA and FSAA my Intel CPU is the bottleneck.
My P4 EE has a very fast 2MByte L3 Cache, but how do I know if this is being used?
