3DMark2001SE 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. 3DMark2001SE
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 numbers denote better performance.

Unfortunately the GeForce4 MX440 is not really built for
AA since it just doesn't have the horsepower.
AquaMark is another DirectX 8 benchmark. Using
vertex shaders, any card that is DirectX8 compatible will not just have a huge
speed boost, the image will also look better. Default test has 24 MB worth of
textures.

As with 3DMark2001SE AA is just out of the question for the MX440. Also I've chosen to
omit AA benchmarks at higher resolutions since it would just be a waste of
time.
