help with benchmarking!

so i'm new to the benchmark testing stuff...

in 3dmark2001 and 2003, what are the normal settings that everyone uses? does everyone put everything to the lowest to get the highest possible scores?

To keep every one on an even plane, just run the benchmark right after you install it, so as to not change any settings. It should be something like 1024x768 32bpp NoAA NoAF. Correct me if I'm wrong, though.

yes Arcticfox is right, but of course some of the people with the really high numbers set the settings to the lowest. like 640x480 etc.
