Games (d3d) I have set-up to run at nice fps on the 5500 would almost turn into watching a slide show sometimes if I put in the 4500.

See notes regarding "biased synthetic benchmark," vs. "real world applications" and "dual chip boards run twice to verify results"

The scores were of little concern to me, they were just a side note of intrest. I was looking for graphic glitches under Direct X rendering, AGP operating voltages and AGP transfer modes.

2000/2001SE are handy to use as a testing program for Direct X rendering since you can alter many settings with ease, as a benchmark I think it's a joke.

You inquired about boards that I already had, almost all these boards came in the last week.

I don't install boards just to to a bios dump, this was a quick new card testing for function session that turned into a bit more then I planned.

If yes, how did you get so much 3Dmarks... ?!? some driver tweaks like a low LOD?
