level of detail i really dont know much about tweaking nvidia cards but u can alter the lod bias far more than the nvida graphics drivers let u by downloading a tweaker im not sure what the tweakers are for nvidia cards but u can alter the lod so in the game tests the texures are really really blurred and look like s*** to gain extra points but i see no point in benchmarking with settings u wouldnt dream of using for games. i wasnt acusing your of making you graphics look like crap to get a good score either i know geforce4 cards can get 9000-11000 with tiny tweaks that dont alter the graphics much. i was just saying most people with geforce cards do it.
