Benchmarks: PCMark 2002, 3DMark 2001SE

PCMark 2002 Source: MadOnion

PCMark is a new benchmark from our pals at MadOnion which a whole system benchmark. It can be used on desktop PC's, Laptops and even Workstations and tests everyday computing from home to office usage. PCMark specifically stresses the CPU, memory subsystem, graphics subsystem, hard drives, WindowsXP GUI (if WinXP is used), video performance and even laptop batteries. This benchmark was released March 12, 2002 and can be downloaded from Madonion if you would like to give it a test run on your computer for comparisons sake...

PCMark2002 Benchmark Results
Processor PCMarks Ranking
1. 845PE Max2 - 133/333 6497
2. 845PE Max2 - 165/330 8120

Memory

1 845PE Max2 - 133/333 6185
2. 845PE Max2 - 165/330 6421

Stock performance is very good and overclocking boosts the processor points quite a bit! The memory scores are very close because at stock speeds, the memory is actually running faster .

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.

3DMark2001 SE Benchmark Results
Processor 3DMarks Ranking
1. 845PE Max2 - 133/333 12619
2. 845PE Max2 - 165/330 13546

The GeForce4 Ti4600 is very CPU limited and overclocking really boosts performance! Still, breaking 12.5k at stock with the DetonatorXP 30.82's is very good!
