Benchmarks: 3DMark2001SE, 3DMark03

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. Pentium 4 3.0C 16526
2. AthlonXP 3000+ 16023
3. AthlonXP 3200+ 16631
4. AthlonXP 3200+ OC'ed (2.42 GHz) 17216

Even with today's top of the line processors, 3DMark2001SE is mainly CPU limited. It seems like the P4 3.0C and AthlonXP 3200+ perform pretty much the same at stock speeds. Overclocking only boosts scores by about 600 points.

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. Higher 3DMark03 scores denote better performance.

3DMark03 Benchmark Results
Processor 3DMarks Ranking
1. Pentium 4 3.0C 4967
2. AthlonXP 3000+ 4769
3. AthlonXP 3200+ 5132
4. AthlonXP 3200+ OC'ed (2.42 GHz) 5160

3DMark03 is not a good test of CPU power as we're pretty much all videocard limited. Going from up from 2.2 GHz to 2.42 GHz only nets us 28 more points.
