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.

3DMark2001SE is clearly all CPU limited, the boards perform within 60
points of each other.
This new accurate diagnostic tool, designed for
DirectX9.0, provides you with all the information you need to make informed
hardware assessments. Havok Total real-time physics library from Havok
- these routines are used to accurately model the movements of
objects due to forces, etc. FMOD sound library from Firelight Technologies
- these are used for the various sound effects and routines used
in the tests. Graphics adapter analysis software from Powerstrip of Entech
Taiwan - this is used to correctly determine the speeds
of the graphics processing and video memory chips, plus supply additional
hardware information.

Based on DirectX 9, we're pretty much all
videocard limited, overclocking does not get us much of a performance
boost.
