Benchmark Results - 3DMark 2000 Fill-Rate (single Texture)

Now this is a test that I feel has some issues with it. I don't feel that MAXX fill-rate is as horrible as shown in this chart. S3 had some issues with 3DMark 2000 and gain huge performance numbers with an upgraded driver. I expect something similar is happening with the MAXX. We'll hopefully see more of the same when we switch to 32-bit mode.

Things look a better but odd still in this set of results. One thing to note though is how well the DDR GeForce seems to be dominating everyone. I have a feeling the MAXX has some issues with these fill-rate tests.
