If you want to increase maybe your Frame
rate on games, turn off V-Sync. When I've
played UT 2003 with V-Sync enabled It
gets a bit jumpy on Tokara Forest level
but when I've disabled V-Sync it's smooth
on Tokara Forest level. I lose about 300
3DMarks with V-Sync enabled on both Opengl
and Direct3d but If V-Sync is disabled on
OpenGl and Direct3d I gain 300 3DMarks.
And I play UT2003 with all detail highest
except trilinier filtering and on 32-bit
Desktop.

I use a Geforce 4 MX 440, AMD Athlon 1400
and i've got 256 megs of Ram.

I know that some textures in games maybe
refresh slowly with V-Sync disabled but
theres a performance increase.

Oh and my 3Dmark2001 score is 4751 without
V-Sync and with V-Sync turn on, 4428.
 
wow, 3dMark2k1 scores below 10,000?  you'd get so pwned on 3dMark2k3

the v-sync thing has been known for some time. it's really only useful when your recording the computer monitor.  it gets rid of that horizontal bar going down, I think.  (or is that h-sync... whatever.  vert and horizontal).  but otherwise, noone cares.

oh yeah, and for performance, turn down Antialiasing (AA) and autosynchronic (asynchronic?) filtering. more important for eye candy is AA, and the other one can be turned down a bit without much. 2x AA is generally the best compromise

I have an Athlon 550 w/ GF4 MX 420

the MX series is the economy line...

the GF4 MX series is basically a juiced-up GF2 Ti series card.

How can you get 10000 with 3dmark 2001
if you got those specs, you seen my
specs on top post?

How much Ram do you have? Have you got
your CPU and Video card Overclocked?

If you're getting in the 4000s in 3D mark you wouldn't be able to hit the 10 000 mark even if God was overclocking your PC for ya heh.

V-Sync is supposed to syncronize what your video card renders with the monitor's refreash rate I believe, which would eliminate ghosting on an LCD. Don't bother with it if you've got a CRT.

And you mean "anistropic filtering" Amorphus.
