Any specific reason why that is?

Athlon 64 X2 3800+
256mb ram
Win98SE
Audigy sound
MX 460 64mb DDR
DX7

Getting ~7050 3dMark score.
CPU score was 415, i dont know if thats low or normal.

Reading online it should be more like 10K +

Vsync is off. Tried two different driver versions.

Should i be concerned or is 3Dmark2000 hit or miss and i shouldnt read too much into it?

3DMark2000 was made before everyone knew how to take advantage of T&L (which is why I never use it personally) so i'd prefer 2001 in this case. Also mind that it's an MX card - MX is a slower budget variant, and in the case of a Geforce4MX, doesn't have pixel shaders, making it more of a Geforce2 revision. Also you'll probably want to up the DirectX install as well since GF4 came out after 8.1 and holding DX back may cause disreprancy with driver behavior. Holding an installed DirectX back to the video card's 'class' is usually crap advice as it's not just about a 3d API.

FUCK "AI". It is a tool of fascism. We do not need it. We do not use it.

Thank you, but isnt the GF4MX a DX7 only video card anyway?

Also according to what ive seen online, the MX460 is faster than the Geforce 2 TI/Ultra and the GF3 TI 200 in these tests.

Also, i found this thread on various 3dMark2000 scores, and looks like my CPU score is very low and could be the culprit?

Im gettgin 415, but these guys are gettggin way higher on slower CPUs?
