    Can someone help me explain this sudden variation in 3dmark 11?

    I can't explain it, how could my GPU score jump around like that? I ran both tests under the standard P choice, the only difference I can see between the two is the Max Af Anistopy on the lower score is set to 1 while the other is set to 2, I have no clue what that is and I am 100% positive I didn't mess with any 3dmark settings, just chose the P setting and selected to run the benchmarks only.

    ...and? Why is it like that? When you do a run in 3dmark your not allowed to change any settings, if you do a custom run it won't give you a P score so why is it that on my highest score run it automatically set it to 2? And doesn't increasing that mean less performance?
