HUGE JUMPS, that means a 2240 jump in your main score. If you run LOD on an old card like 8800gts 512. Why change the lod, it just blurrs the image?: MOSTLY, for NVIDIA based graphics cards, the best LOD for nature is 4.9, 5, or 5.1. make sure you know the correct LOD for your card and NATURE. The most important test which uses LOD is NATURE. (you dont have to change the lod for car low each time you run it, LOD sticks like your graphics clocks) Then continue this till you reach the end of your 3dmark 2001 run. After test 1 is run, open riva and change the lod to what the 2nd test (lobby high) likes. Run test 1 (CAr high) on the specfic LOD it likes (lod's for tests explained below)ģ. Open riva - change lod, clock your card.Ģ. BUT before you run it, you change the LOD in rivatuner.ġ. (The pic with the LOD slider that is now 15 at max) Now go back to your LOD setting's screen. Go to tab "power user", ignore the warning, go to nvidia global and change the lod MAX to 15. You will need up to 5 so how you can change your max of 3, you do this. ONLY YOURS WILL SHOW a MAXIMUM OF LOD 3, AND NOT 15 LIKE MINE. Now on your screen you will have this tab. This is how you change your level of detail. Now that you have RUN ORDER nailed down, we get on to running each test with a specific LOD. THEN you run nature and get your final good score! (a 20 or more fps boost, from like 700 to 722 OR EVEN MORE). this time your score might be 63 800, THEN RUN IT AGIAN, and maybe get 63 890, it will jump around allot, but keep RUNNING IT (EVEN UP TO 10 OR 15 TIMES, until you get a strange JUMP in score or Frames.) like instead of 64 000, you now score 64 200, or 64400 even. Now, click BENCHMARK AGAIN, without changing anything, so what your doing is just RUNNING CAR LOW again. After you get to car low (the 6th test you have to run in the order) you will run it and get for instance 800 fps. THEN run nature and you will get your FINAL SCORE.Ĭar low is a buggy test. you repeat this process untill you get a SCORE AFTER CAR LOW the 6TH TEST IN THE SEQUENCE. THEN REPEAT the process, click CHANGE, deselect car HIGH and select the SECOND test you have to run in the order, which is LOBBY HIGH, then click OK with only the ONE test (lobby high) selected and RUN THE BENCHMARK. then click OK and then RUN THE BENCHMARK. Then in the second window click "CLEAR" like shown. but the HIGH'S suffer when not run EARLY. This could happen when run in the order above The most common order to run your tests in, is like this below.īecause you could get an increase in framerate when a certain test is run closer to the Boot. (4890's not as strong due to new drivers)



Nvidia cards normally RULE this benchmark unless you can somehow get your 4870's in crossfire to 1200 core each.i7 is Generally very bad for 2001, your nature score gets a serious cap, you will never reach 1200 or 1400. you will loose about 2000 points at LEAST if not in xp. Nvidia controll panel, set gpu 3D to "Performance", NOT HIGH PERFORMANCE.High as possibly SAFE PCI-E FREQ (110 - 115 is safe).!!USE THE D3D OVERRIDER IN RIVATUNER for NVIDIA CARDS!! *a show how below*.Let me start of with what I can teach you. So let me put on my cryo suite and set my teaching mode to MAXIMUM BASICS. It's worse than i feared on this forum and I have seen some 2001 runs in vista. In this thread we dicsuss / ask/ and play some 3dmark2001.
