June 13, 201114 yr Crew hey bro. that's not a valid run, since the vga must at least be capable of 1024x768 with 32bit. 16 bit is not allowed.
June 13, 201114 yr Author Crew pretty funny tough, that you reported my 16 bit run on intel i815 back than and the others not? edit: it's ok, i don't care about this anymore. Edited June 13, 201114 yr by Turrican
June 13, 201114 yr Well, personally I do not mind benchmarking old hardware with limited capabilities and try to follow the rules are far as the hardware allows me to. But if there is some disagreement regarding this, perhaps the HWBot crew should look into this issue and make a formal decision?
June 13, 201114 yr Well, the rule is: default resolution, that's why for those cards, IGP (82810, 82815, some Savage, Voodoo) we are now able to run 3DMark00 and 3DMark99 but not 3DMark01 according to the rules. But the default settings rule is not applied to hardware/software D3D, T&L, Z-buffer and Texture compression, that's why it's allowed to bench 3DMark01 with ATI Rage and nVidia TNT2.
