I double checked my OS used in the 3D01 score yesterday. Seems this was based of the OS with the tweak from years ago. my old tweak was already in place, even though I did a clean install of 3d01. I had no idea. It's not like it is noticeable during the run. I thought that new gpu power was doing the work.
btw, the tweak is similar as another 2d tweak that was decided to not be allowed a couple of years ago. And then they removed points from the benchmark. When this happened I talked to mods and asked to remove my 01 scores also, to save 3d01 from being removed. The tweaks in question are not cheats, but they are very hard to find and have a very big impact. which I guess is not good for benchmarking in the long run.
sorry guys, it's back to 980ti and XP64 for 3D01
