What can one expect for the same system with a V5 video card? I guess the
test is for D3D only.
I have read that the test scores are interesting and may help to see if your
system is operating OK, but in real game play there could be big
differences.
Does it help to have all that RAM (512MB)? I thought I had a lot with 384MB.

I have no idea how a Voodoo will come out. Haven't used one for a long
time...

I'm not sure if 512MB makes much difference or not. Frankly, it was cheap
so I bought it :)

I have no doubts that almost everyone can bet by with 256MB.

AMD Athlon T-Bird 1 GHz over clocked to 1250 GHz
NVIDIA GeForce2 GTS/Pro
256 megs PC150 memory

3dMark2001=3129 almost got ya!!!

by **Lutrel** » Mon, 19 Mar 2001 10:40:30

I remember when I got 64MB when most systems had at the most 32, and I was
told that it was too much at the time, but it was soon not enough. ; )

Here are some tests with 3DMark 2001 from AnandTech
http://www.hardwaremania.com/reviews_eng/3dmark2001/3dmark2.shtml

He says that it is mainly designed to test hardware that supports features
of DX8 like the GeForce 3.

Doh!. I just finally downloaded and tried 3DMark 2001 (40MB) also with V5
AGP and got a score of 1961. It looks like V5 does not work well with this
test.
Strange that there is little difference with 16 or 32 bit and resolution as
low as 640x480.
How much is the GeForce 3 going to cost? $575 ?? OUCH! I wonder if the
price would be lower if 3dfx was still competing.

My system:
Athlon T-bird 1.2Ghz
ASUS A7V with BIOS 1005
384 MB PC133 (cheap stuff)
Windows ME , DX8.0a
SBLive
45GB IBM Deskstar (ATA 100)
3dfx Voodoo 5 5500 AGP ,latest drivers (but they are old anyway)
Logitech USB track ball mouse (test would not run with mouse utility turned
off)

1024x768 at 16 bit gave score of 1961

1024x768x16

My system:

Tbird 800
256 megs of PC133 (Kingston Value Ram)
Geforce2 MX - Nvidia Reference drivers
Windows ME, DX 8.0a
SB Live Value running newest ME drivers.
16.8 gig and 20.4 gig ATA 66 drives

Everything is default settings and not overclocked.

I'm proud to say my score is:

2299 =)
