I tested on 64/32Bit systems, both SP1 and dont noticed any huge different.
Now I use 32bit SP1 version 6.0.6001

Tweaker Run http://keep4u.ru/full/080907/1849133d9d8bafde0d/jpg
All my tweaks is working fine, but something is not right
Lights, Music, Camera, Action !
What tweaks? No tweaks do anything for me.
PCI-E freq, default resolution, mipmap detail....
Now i'll try new 8.9 beta

Mipmap???That's not a tweak afaik
on ATI you cannot use mipmap cheat

yes 120hz about 1000ptOriginally Posted by DeDaL
Lol yeah just thought about that after I posted sorry
Thanks spl...somehow by changing my refresh rate from 60hz to 75hz (max possible) I gained 1500 points.
I think he meant 120mhz PCI-E... but interesting none the less.
All along the watchtower the watchmen watch the eternal return.
ROFL
refresh rate gains 1500 points
this benchmark's a joke seriously
Trust me, it sounds just as ridiculous to me, but it's right in front of my eyes. Every test goes up, very visibly too. O.o
Errrr how the hell does that work? 3D03 I used to love you, now I think you are a cheating wench
Almost 134k at 4.5g for reference.
I don't know how 03 is supposed to be handled. I'm not the only person that's found that monitors have an effect on scores either...:S That and we have this "black screen" bug only with Vista, then some other bug even single card in XP.
Edit: For the sake of my sanity, I reran at 4.5GHz with 60hz, without changing anything else (above was at 75) and sure enough, the score dropped by over 1500 pts. I am not making this up, the refresh rate really does seem to have a huge effect. Perhaps it's triggering something in the driver, I dunno.

My run is at 76Hz refresh rate, the highest for my monitor.
heheh that's 2K+ gain from refresh rate
people will soon be rushing out to buy those 120Hz LCD screens to bench these ATI cards
is this 32bit or 64bit Vista
Vista 32 Home Basic with SP1 standalone installed.
should toss on a CRT that can do something like 150hz to see how far it scales, maybe the cards are throttling themselves?
All along the watchtower the watchmen watch the eternal return.
that's an interesting observation
would be nice to have macci comment on this stuff
[WTB] 150hz+ refresh rate CRT or LCD monitor.
Seriously gautam you have got to patent this before it gets out of hand. Can you pretty please test this in at least some of the other 3dmarks? How do we know this doesn't affect all of them?
It sort of makes sense in a messed up world. Which means it makes sense basically.

I see what I see, and you see what you see. I can't make you see what I see, but I can tell you what I see is not what you see. Truth is, we see what we want to see, and what we want to see is what those around us see. And what we don't see is... well, conspiracies.
Gautam: you did not forget to disable V-Sync, did you?
Some people changed the monitor's Hz settings in the early 3DM01 days as well, some gained points, some gained points, some didn't. I reckon it was that kind of tweak only be used if you wanted to squeeze out those last points.
Where courage, motivation and ignorance meet, a persistent idiot awakens.
Lol Gautam
*Grabs his 150Hz refresh rate Sony CRT monitor, and starts benching 2k3*
Jokes aside, can somebody else plz test that refresh rate thing ?
Oh and Pieter, awesome testing man !
lol what the hell is going on with this benchmark!
I just ran Nature and gained 12fps by changing from 60Hz to 76Hz
999fps (830/1020 CF 4870X2, 4800MHz) -> 1011fps
