I don't have FRAPS loaded but it seems I need to do this. I was so shocked that I am going to do some 3DMark 06 tests this evening to check that I am benchmarking around the correct numbers.

But do you think I should have to remove shadows on such a machine!!? If so then I'm a bit disappointed.

When you say everything on max, do you mean absolutely everything!!?? Because some settings are labelled as "Highest" or other levels above just "High".

Econ,

Thanks for the correction.
Yes, I mean everything up at high or highest, whichever is max for that particular option, even grass which I expected to be a killer. But my shadows are at none, and when I have them on, even at lowest, it has a really noticeable effect, and I think pretty much everyone has found roughly the same thing. I haven't missed them, though!

The only reason I can really think of to have them on now is in the case of a -movie_cam kind of thing appearing, so's I can get some really stunning screenshots.
