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.	GNB MAX Dual DDR - 133/266	15138
2.	NT72-SA - 133/1066	15440
3.	PX845PEV-800 - 133/333	15059
4.	PX845PEV-800 - 150/375	15911

At stock speeds the PX845PEV-800 is slower then both the i850E and E7205 based motherboards but when overclocked it's clearly the fastest.

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.

Quake III has always loved memory bandwidth and here we see that the stock PX845PEV-800 lags behind the most because it has the least bandwidth. Overclocking allows it to past all the other higher performance motherboards.
