Hi, i have an issue that 3d mark is stuck on the refresh rate of the monitor.
I have a radeon 6850 inside and even with deactivated V sync in the catalyst options the system is capping it at the refresh rate. what might be the issue?
This is an old thread, but I've observed the same issue. The 3DMark score gets a lot higher when I adjust the monitor Hz from 60 to 75 (which is the range of my retro LCD monitor). In theory I suspect I could get an even higher 3DMark score with a monitor with higher refresh rates.

I've noticed this too, but only when I run 3D Mark 2000 on Windows 7 or 10.
XP and earlier, the frame rate is uncapped.

I just ran 3DMArk 99 and 2000 v1.1 and 2001 SE on Windows 98 SE, and the versions I have are definitely capped. Benchmarked a GeForce4 Ti 4200, FX5200 FX5500 and FX 5700 LE using nVIDIA Drivers 56.64.
Monitor refresh rate @ 60 Hz showed 60 fps in the racing demo on 3DMark 99. When adjusting the monitor refresh rate to 75 Hz, fps increased to 75.
Overall score increased 10-23% when running the monitor @ 75Hz.
