The guys from MadOnion.com have released a new 3dMark package, called 3dMark 2001. Basically, its a few quick 'demos', like game scenes that are rendered in realtime to benchmark the Direct 3d performance of your video card. It has got some pretty cool bits in it, including a really cool recreation of the lobby scene in the Matrix (I bet it gets Foxed at some point). Go and download it and then comment in this thread and let us know your system spec and what score you get at the end - just click the Benchmark button and leave the settings default.

Update by Nathan: its pretty important to specify what your system specs are with a decent amount of detail. I'd suggest posting your CPU (Make & Speed), bus speed, amount of RAM (and speed if known), 3d Card, 3d card driver version, operating system, and of course your result.

I had the det 3 6.50 drivers installed but sometimes got a blue screen saying your computer has packed up and left town and all i can do is restart, so i put my standard 3.60 drivers one which run ok but can someone give me good opengl settings please. Also it says my p3 667 can run at 800... should i overclock it or is it going to be unstable and melt? And with the overclocking program that comes with my video card, how far can i turn up the notches before it gets unstable also? Thanks!

MunkY well i dont know bout the overclocking program u got, but i've got mine o/cd to 140 core, 195 ram...
i got 205 ram once, but doesnt work anymore (thknk it was in w2k)

But the thing is, it doesnt seem to make any difference in games.
so wtf is the point of oc'ing ur video card?

winME i get 1548 same setting and drivers

Perhaps it's not 3DMark2k1 running s*** in win2k, perhaps it's the win2k drivers for your video card not being up to scratch.

speaking of drivers, is detonator 4 set to be released soon? cos i heard some guy babbling about it on a CS server...

you cant really compare your scores between 200 and 2001 they run on dif tests and stuff

Quantum Fireball 6.4GB

Remember - 10 dorrah* to the closest guess. :)

(* the "dorrah" currency does not exist, so you don't actually win anything. :P)

least 1 =P 0 if u crash again.

i reckon youll get about 1874.5 (- the 0.5)

Just a guess tho :)

The results are in...

I got a whopping

1250

or there abouts.

For those interested, I tested under win2k and win98se, getting scores within a few marks of each other.

Some strange results, though, like it reckons my card has a fill rate of 114 MTexel/sec, when I know it should be about double that. Maybe it doesn't measure it properly.

- TNT2 m64

I got a pitiful 325 at 1024@32, and a slightly less pitiful 550 at 640@16

I got 1021 at 1024@32, and 1217 at 640@16. Definitely the cheapest performance upgrade I've got in a while ;p

All these scores are untweaked and running on Win2k, so I might post some more after I've gone tweak crazy.

I tried to run this new benchmark on my new pc but it keeps freezing up halfway through the 3rd test anyone know why that might be?

It was doinf realy well in the 1st test I was getting a solid 60fps which is 10 times what my old pc was getting.

what specs taipan?

is it overclocked? Even if not, it could be overheating. When I overclocked my old duron I didn't have enough cooling on it and it used to overheat after about the 3rd of 4th test and just lock up the computer.
