3Dmark2000 v1.1

[dZeus]

Ok, I've put up a first impression on my website http://dzeus.student.utwente.nl/g400
look in the menu for benchmarking

Yet there is not much on it, but the coming days I will test some of the older driver releases (at least 5.14 and 5.20). Of course this is only valid for relative driver performance on a fixed machine in Win2k, so for real good graphs other users should also test with different OS platforms, CPU speeds and driver versions, and as Ant says we can collect those results somewhere here on murc.

First of all we should have a fixed testing methodogy, trying to minimalize the effect of difference in benchmark settings of the different users. Can anyone comment on the benchmarking methodogy I've used?

My just finished Athlon T'bird with no tweaks gets 2,781 with the default benchmark, 2,145 in 32 bit.

Ant's idea is pretty good. Be nice to see something on this site for one stop shopping. Some tweak ideas needed here for the new territory I am in.

------------------
ABIT KT7 non-RAID * 900MHz Athlon T'bird * 128MB Micron PC/133 RAM * Two Cheetah LVD's * Barracuda UW * DiamondMAX IDE * Plextor Ultraplex 40max/Plexwriter 12/4/32 * Hitachi IDE DVD * 2940U2W * SB Live * 3Com 905B-TX NIC * 3Com Courier V. Ext. * Hollywood + * Win 98SE, Win 2000 *

Now with G400MAx 155/207Mhz + SGRam optimization Duron 700 not OV PC133MHZ with min latency allowed by bios:
default bench:
3dmark 3131
CPU 195
Win98 - DirectX7a - pd 6.01

I think it is pretty good for a low-end system STABLE with a little optimization.

Well... with my PIII450@495 i got 2570 3DMarks... now @558 i get some 2757 3Dmarks...all this with 3DMark2000 v1.1... the other specs are in my sig...

My system:

Oh yeah, PD6.10+TGL1.30+DX7.0A, all this on WIN98SE...

Hey Lucas,
That's about right on the 3D Score. I was getting a 2750 Score with my Duron @ 900Mhz with G400 non o/c. I put a small 486 fan on the Heatsink and o/c my G400 to 150core/188mem with MGA Tweak and the PD6.10 drivers (6.21v sucks too bad) and I get a 3DMark Score of 3114 using the default test and DX8 using Win98 SE.

Thanks, that helps alot. I was wondering what kind of score I should be getting.

[nady]

My hardware config:
ABIT KT7/Raid Bios WZ01
AMD TB 900 Mhz
Matrox G400 DH32Mb
256 Mb Memory
Directx7

My results under Windows 98se measured
Driver
Powerdesk
(6.21) 2670
(6.10) 3076

Ask to all of them these also use the new driver 6.21, is this really slower than the driver 6.10

Ask for help

i've got a couple expect most of them the G400 is o/ced. 3dmark 2000 ver. 1.1 1024x786x16 system is Abit ZM6, and 128meg cas2, and win98se, and display drivers 6.21 (unless otherwise specified).

i haven't done any scores with my CPU @566, as you can see, but if you needed them i could get them done.

WooHoo!
Ant set up a forum JUST for benchmark threads.

Guess where you can now find this thread
