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.
Here we
see that the Prolink PixelView is clearly the winner when it comes to 3DMark
scores (it has the highest core speed remember). With a good combination of core
and memory overclock, we're able to break 14k in 3DMark2001SE which is quite a
feat especially with the system at stock speeds! The Albatron follows even
though it has the simplest cooling of the bunch. As we can see here, just
because you have a flashy copper heatsink doesn't mean you'll get a good
overclock.
