01's VERY representative for Geforce2+ testing and better for that than 00 (and any other prior 3dMarks). Just because the numbers aren't sky high enough doesn't mean it's not a good test. It'll just brush over nature and pixel shader tests (which were extremely new at the time of 3dMark01's …

My best on Quake2 with my K6-3+ 400@616 on a Geforce2 GTS with my max tweaked Quake2 is 168 frames per second. On Quake3 I got 212 frames per second. That with using the patch posted above.

Ok. Well It was worth a shot. Thanks for trying! :) It would have been awesome if it worked. Btw. Here´s a link to my FTP. You will find my version of the program here. It is basically the same as yours, but I added the dll:s needed to make it work on newer operating system. You will also find my …

Can anyone try to run Wintune97 on Win 3.11? If it was possible to run the program on win3.11 then we could benchmark a lot of older systems. I have a wintune97 tread right here Post your Wintune97 scores here!

Anyone here who has their own machines and could be willing to upload some scores in the form of exported WTX files generated by Wintune97? Edit: Attached the latest database A lot off systems has been added. A friend of mine was kind to benchmark his Rise MP6 cpu as well 😀

I think you need to use an even older driver then 5x.xx. My cards from the 6000 series included I have never ever ever needed to use above 4x.xx on any of my 30 retro machines. The 28.xx drivers are the earliest drivers for that card

The competition is now over and Doogie won with his 286,5 frames per second. A big Congratulation to Doogie for his awesome submission. I will send Doogie a 3DFX voodoo II card as the grand prize 😀

The targeted cpu is amd:s K6-2 and K6-3 cpus. And the plan is to merge the code with our tweaked source code and recompile the code with VS2005. VS2005 works with windows98 GCC has the -march=k6-2 and -m3dnow compiler flags to let the compiler do the optimization. I've always kind of wondered how …

Oh and maybe think about swapping the VS2K5 compiler out for a recent MinGW/gcc - 19 years of additional optimizations ought to gain you another percentage point or two. So you mean that if we compile the source code with MinGW/gcc we could get some extra performance compared with compiling with …
