Benchmarks: 3DMark2001, 3DMark05

3DMark2001SE Source: FutureMark

By combining DirectX8 support with completely new graphics, 3DMark 2001 SE continues to provide a good overall system benchmark. 3DMark2001 SE was created in co-operation 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 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.

2x 512MB OCZ PC3500 Gold GX DC (250/500) 28245

3DMark2001 seems a bit too weak to measure the power of the OCZ PC3500 Gold DIMMs. The overall score is up slightly but it is still within the margin of error.

3DMark05 Source: FutureMark

3DMark05 is the latest version of the highly favoured 3DMark graphics benchmarking series. It is the first benchmark to require DirectX®9.0 compliant hardware with support for Pixel Shader 2.0 or higher.

2x 512MB OCZ PC3500 Gold GX DC (250/500) 5713

3DMark05 overall numbers are actually lower than at stock but within the margin of error. We see a small boost in the CPU portion of the test, significant because the processor is actually running slower when overclocked than at stock speeds.
