Most likely your video card doesn't support some of the tests, so it is Disabling them.

Well the message says that I need to install 3dmark01 to get all games. Didn't say anything about card capabilitiies. Well after using both--I can say that my card SUCKS. I get rendering 4fps.

You are using an older card that is not able to handle some of the tests in 3dMark03. It isnt that the card is too slow, its that the card physically is unable to perform some of the renders that 03 demands. It doesnt support the newer technology that high end cards have, and the 3dmark03 was designed to benchmark. Because it can't handle all of the tests, use 3dmark01 to get a more accurated picture of its performance. 01 was designed to benchmark cards like the Geforce 2,3 and 4.

A Geforce 2 Ti is not a bad card. Even if the benchmarking program is too much for it, as long as it plays all the games you play acceptably, it is perfect. I used a 32meg Geforce 2 GTS-V for a year. Since I only played CS and UT at the time, it was all I needed, even if it only got 3000 3dmarks in 01.

for 3dmark01 i got more than 3000. Of course I can play UT2003, CS smoothly-but when I started C&C generals. It was like watching some fast still pictures. Still have not played that game. Time to upgrade and run the programs again.
