Higher multipliers  

And about the higher scores with 3DMark2001 and faster CPU's --> Some CPU speed is being calculated 'into' the final score. When using a faster CPU you'll always get a higher score. Even if the graphics card won't go any higher anymore. Quote:
What about using a pinmod or reconfigure the L-bridges on the CPU ?

Quote:

Crystal CPUID is software, pinmod is directly on the hardware which has priority over software  
The only problem is your BIOS which doesn't understand the high multiplier. It may end up with MP 6x or MP 24x.
And before I forget to mention, do not use MP 20,5x since the Thoroughbred B of similar 9 layer AMD Athlon XP's can't work with that multiplier.

But MP 20,5x is useless after all

Nope but in games where the card is built for it has better performance than a GeForce3 in many cases ....

For instance the Voodoo5 6000 crushes a GeForce 3 in Serious Sam The Second Encounter with ease, the Voodoo5 6000 also can keep up with a GeForce4 Ti4600 in Doom3 @ 1024 x 768 x 32 at a mixture of normal low settings so it depends on how the application reacts on the card it's self, so 3D mark is kind of pointless imho, okay it's not built for this game but it's mem bandwidth is the same as the Ti4600, the V6K has 4 Graphics chips to do the work and the Ti4600 has to do all the work with 1 chip so then it has to do more with less, where as the V6K the situation is just the other way around same bandwidth same speed.

in Descent3 the 6000 outperforms the GF2 U with ease but in 3D mark it's just the other way around so it's not a good way to test the card, but then again it's still impressife that it can score that high afterall it has no T&L Geometry chip

I rather see the card in action in true glide based games like:

Tactical Ops ver 3.4.0
Unreal ver 2.26
Unreal Tournament Game Of The Year Edition 1999 ver 4.36
Clive Baker's Undying
Half-Life Oppsing Force
Blood II
Star-Wars Episode I: Racer
Turok II
Conflict/Descent: FreeSpace 1&2

things like that thing with Glide where the card can get it's full potential not with some silly 3D mark thing, that program does not even support Glide lol.

That 3D mark was written for T&L based chips so it's not the right thing to use for 3dfx counterparts, it will always be seen as a very wrong way to test your cards because in the games where the 3dfx cards ARE supported they perform much better, sorry but this IS the way I see this, I can't change my mind on that either.

I've got my XFX GeForce 6800GT AGP Dual DVI 256MB GDDR3 1.8ns [NV40GT] and ATi M18 Mobillity Radeon 9800 256MB DDRII 2.5 [R420M] ns for 3D Mark and my Voodoo's for Glide

what is the highest possible multiplier?

btw: keep the WR in germany!!!

LOL!

I think Globally when it comes to 3dfx.. No boundaries, No borders Just good friends

Together, we all win 8)

I know, My money is on him. He won't be frightened away when Hank steps into the ring
