I'm Sick of Benchmarks

Yes, people won\'t stop coughing. Haven\'t you people ever heard of regular doctor check-ups?

#41 needs fucking help!

I accidentally posted this in another topic but oh well...

\"Hury up and post your specs Steve! :-) Meanwhile here\'s what I get with my V2 SLI Config:

Who cares about TNT2 vs. V3 - everyone knows that Canopus V2 SLI ruleZ! ;-)

System Specs:

Retail Malaysian Celeron 366 PPGA, Week 28 - OCÂ’d to 567 @ 2.0 volts

IÂ’m using an Alpha heatsink and GlobalWIn fan on the front of the MSI Slocket with a thin layer of thermal compound between the CPU and the heatsink. I am also using a brushless fan from Radio Shack blowing on the back of the CPU.

64 MB Meall PC-100 SDRAM (Cas-2)
Abit BH-6 Motherboard
Two 12 MB Canopus Pure 3-D II LXs O/C\'d to 100 Mhz with 1 brushless fan blowing over the cards.
8 MB ATI X-pert 2-D Card (GAY but $30)
Western Digital Caviar 5.1 GB EIDE Hard Drive
SoundBlaster AWE 32 Sound Card
Realtek 10-Base T Ethernet Card
USR Sportster 56K Modem
Enlight 7237 Mid-Tower Case w/250 watt power supply and 2 fans. (One fan sucks air in at the bottom of the case, and the other fan blows air out the back up where the power supply is.)

BIOS Settings: I am currently using the “LN” BIOS
CPU Soft Menu II
CPU Operating Speed: User Define
Turbo Frequency: Disabled
External Clock: 103 Mhz
Multiplier Factor: 5.5
Sel 10066 Signal: High
Speed Error Hold: Disabled
CPU Power Supply: User Define
Core Voltage: 2.0 volts

Results:

All framerates were measured with V-sync OFF, and utilizing the Autoexec.cfg files specified below:

Quake 1 Autoexec.cfg
gl_keepjunctions \"0\"
r_wateralpha 0.5
sv_aim 2
gl_triplebuffer 1
+mlook
gl_playermip \"0\"
gl_polyblend \"0\"
exec proxyautoexec.cfg
m_filter \"5\"
scr_conspeed \"4000\"

Quake2 Autoexec.cfg Settings
set cl_particles \"1\"
set gl_dynamic \"0\"
set gl_polyblend \"0\"
set gl_playermip \"2\"
set gl_flashblend \"0\"
set gl_ext_swapinterval \"1\"
set gl_swapinterval \"1\"
set gl_ztrick \"1\"
set cd_nocd \"1\"
set in_mouse \"1\"
set m_filter \"1\"
set in_joystick \"0\"
set gl_modulate \"2.1\"
brighter. default is 1
set vid_fullscreen 1
scr_conspeed \"4000\"

Quake 3 Settings
High Quality Sound
16-bit color
16-bit textures
Texture detail – Default
(4th black line from far right.)
Low Geometric Detail
Lightmap lighting
Bilinear filtering
Marks on walls: Off
Ejecting brass: Off
Dynamic Lights: Off
I.D. Target: On
High Quality Sky: Off
Sync Every Frame: Off

CPU Settings: 5.5 x 103 (567 Mhz)
All numbers = Frames Per Second
Benchmarks at 800x600 , 1024 x 768

Q1 – Timedemo demo2 165.8 104.6

Q1 – Timedemo bigass1 123.6 99.6

Q2 - Demo1.dm2 139.0 100.8

Q2 - Crusher.dm2 71.9 54.6

Q3A – q3demo1 81.3 73.9

Q3A – q3demo2 62.7 57.3


Conclusions:
Now that IÂ’m running my Celeron at 567 Mhz life is better, but not by much. As you can see, at a resolution of 1024 x 768, I am still maxing out the fill-rate of my SLI configuration. At 800 x 600, performance is increased substantially, but not enough for me to drop my resolution down. So, until a REALLY awesome next-generation graphics card comes out (meaning either Rampage or NV-15) IÂ’ll still be cruising with my SLI rig.

CHARTS ARE EXCITEMENT IN THE MOUTH!!

WE WILL LOOK AT THE CHARTS AND GRAPHS!!!!

Steve

woohoo.

sence there have been a lot of pointless benchmarks, here is another one! 110FPS at 1024*768.

lol.

That was to #29

Because you have a Voodoo3.

Look at all these benchmark scores for the various cards.

That naked ascii chick in the \'werd\' column should win the babe contest, in my opinion.

oiy news changes when ya benchmark for 5minutes..
lets see #16.. i guess stevie wonder forgot about the G400 Max with dual heads...
hmm steve... why doncha just do a benchmark on all the video cards you can get your hands on.. v3 2000 pci v3 2000 agp v3 3000 v3500 CL-TNT2 CL-TNT2U CL-Ghey Force 256 Voodoo2 12meg (various co\'s) Matrox G400 Matrox G400 MAX Matrox 200 Ati Rage 128 Ati Rage 128 Pro Voodoo Graphics CL-TNT Diamond v770 Diamond V770Ultra Diamond Stealth s540 and finally... the winneer.. S3 VIRGE3D! bwhahaha
then we\'ll see who\'s gona be sick of benchmarking..
all of those after a CLEAN install of win98se with their LATEST drivers.. hehe bet that would be fun... hehe

How can you compare with my feminine perfectness?

#11 either you got something overclocked or got major tweaks..
i got..
Q3demo1
Normal 40.1
HQ 39.2
Fastest 50.5
either you got some kick ass tweaks/drivers or yer overclocking something..
i have a p2 400 96meg ram 8gig hd..
and the latest v3 2000 drivers (dont know what version)
if ya got some thing differnt tell me...
i swear if its the damn mobo i\'ll gona puke.. (compaq oem dealie intergrated soo called ati rage pro lt 4meg 2x agp) fuck it.. voodoo3 2k.. hehe
i\'m in need of a decent celery 400 thou :) hehe

*cough*babeofthedaywinner*cough

-TomServo-

#18 are those at 16 or 32 bit?

#15, Remember that this IS a gaming site. Not a \"half-naked chick\" site. That means that the gaming news comes first. And the half-naked chicks come second. Steve is probably very busy with getting those benchmarks finished, and doesn\'t have time to read through all of those comments.

Or maybe he\'s just lazy?

I second the G400 MAX request. I bet it would school a GheyForce on higher resolutions. (just saying that to get him to test it ;)

-J

What no G400 MAX in the test .... well I guess we wouldn\'t want to make the Ghayforce look bad eh\'.

come on, who won the babe hunt already?

#8 Scroll down to \" |4 October 1999 | U.T. - Benchmarking weirdness\"

http://www.voodooextreme.com/reverend/Main.html

While running a Quake3 timedemo, it removes the framerate cap.

q3 rocks my world!

Wtf, I mean he\'s not gonna benchmark for my Amiga and C64?! How about comparing all those video cards with a piece of burnt toast?

This board sucks! This website sucks! The only good ever made was \"Dig Dug\".... blah blah blah. Ok, so I\'m bored and awaiting the benchmarks. So slap me like a redheaded stepsister.....
