We talking 3dmark06 or 05....

that happens when you have the ATi 2900/3800 series cards,

To get 3dMark06 working with the 2900/3800 cards you will have to use the "nosysteminfo" command line argument as shown below:

The installer exe or the actual 3Dmark exe? Because it is not going to work if you just moved the exe and created a new shortcut.

I can see from you screenshot that the "Start in" dir is \Benchmarks\3DMark06,
while it apparently has a target of \program files\futuremark\3dMark06

How did that happen? They cant both be right.

Cheers Scinto i changed the Direcpll.dll and it worked..check out the 3dMark Thread for me score

Random off topic qu (please forgive me :)) - Whats the default directory for 3dMark06, installed it some time ago but forgot where .

Thanks!

Probably C:\Program Files\3DMark06

[Hellsent 2.0]

Probably C:\Program Files\3DMark06

I think its C:\Program Files\Futuremark\3DMark06

Thanks both.

Thought it was something along the lines of >

I think its C:\Program Files\Futuremark\3DMark06
