Benchmarks: 3Dmark 2001, QIII Arena

3DMark2001 SE Source: MadOnion

3DMark2001 SE is the latest installment in the 3DMark series by MadOnion. By combining DirectX8 support with completely new graphics, it continues to provide good overall system benchmarks. 3DMark2001 SE has been created in cooperation with the major 3D accelerator and processor manufacturers to provide a reliable set of diagnostic tools. The suite demonstrates 3D gaming performance by using real-world gaming technology to test a system's true performance abilities. Tests include: DirectX8 Vertex Shaders, Pixel Shaders and Point Sprites, DOT3 and Environment Mapped Bump Mapping, support for Full Scene Anti-aliasing and Texture Compression and two game tests using Ipion real-time physics. Higher 3DMark scores denote better performance.

Processor 3DMarks Ranking
1. AD77 Infinity - 166/333 14275
2. K7N2-L - 166/400 15073
3. AU11 - 166/333 15398
4. AU11 - 183/366 16144

As we can see here, the AU11 is clearly faster then the MSI which is much faster then the KT400 based AD77 Infinity.

Quake III Arena

Source: ID Software

Quake III Arena is a First Person Shooter (FPS) that revolutionized gaming as we know it. Using multiple light sources and having graphics textures that can fill videocards, even after 3 years it's still able to bring a cutting edge system to its knees.

4. AU11 - 183/366 112.3

Everyone knows that Quake III loves bandwidth (and is a positively ancient game that keeps on kicking). Here we see that the AU11 is quite a bit faster then the competition! So what does all this lead up to?
