I can asl Wizzard about that if you want.

Please try to take the other categories as well, did you try to run 03 with LOD already?
I suppose if I show the same screenshot in a photo of my laptop (like I've done here), I can't see how anyone could rightfully dispute it. If you could find out just to check and save me some time, that'd be great

Tried none of this with LOD adjustments. I wasn't aware they made any significant difference. Could anyone pass any hints on this, and how to run the tests in particular orders? I noticed some are using different LOD setting for each one which just adds to my mild confusion!

Thebluemeanie1 is right, the other categories in your points tab are only relevant if you have results that would earn you global points in more than one category. Since you only get the points for the most-rewarding global score, the other global points still count for the team's total!
Thanks for the info boss! Trust me, I've been working on the other 3dmarks, but they're proving to be right little buggers to catch!

After some bios modding with the memory timings, I've managed to get ram clocks up to 590MHz, which allowed me to beat the top 3dM'03 score by enough, and I've even added amost another 2K points to my '01 score! (catch me if you can )
All this is without the rom strap mod, so I could even get a thousand or so more! I guess making bigger gaps between 1st & 2nd in the category doesn't count for any lot more points does it?
What's more - I've just found out I could plonk an E7500 in my lappy, and probably get a significant increase there too!

Anyone know a way to find out which of the 8 timing sets apply to which 2D/Throttle/3D profile in NiBitor? I've managed to get some good memory clocks by loosening the general timings on-the fly, but I'd like to program them into the GPU bios, but I can't find any info on it for this card, and I've been meddling all day :/

Thanks for the hints - more to come
