Revised my results, you were right mau1wurf1977 now I get 71.4. 🤣

Seems to have been because the CPU to PCI buffer was disabled in the bios. No idea why, I got this machine as a whole so I never checked the jumpers or bios settings.

Ok I've ran this stuff on my Compaq Deskpro 386/20E

CPU: Cyrix 386->486 upgrade cpu running at 40mhz (1k L1 cache)
Mainboard: Compaq's own stuff
Amount of RAM: 16mb
Amount of L2 Cache: 32k
Video card: Ati Mach32 DRAM 2mb ISA
3dbench score: 15,3

Will bench one of my Eisa 486 systems shortly which has speedy VLB gfx

I also got a score!

It's not a 486, but a Intel Pentium 100. It's not that much faster than some of your 486 cpus...

The CPU runs on a Super Socket 7 board, loads of cache, super fast AGP video card so pretty much as good as it gets...

Tester: Me (Mau1wurf1977)

Looking for more 386 results guys!

386SX (16, 20 and 25) and 386DX (25, 33 and 40) would be nice 😀

Yes, more 386 based scores would be really good to read. BTW, looking at my previous 486 testing, is the 486 SX-25 result any good to you?

SX-25 CPU (not SL enchanced, and no writeback)
Superscape 3Dbench 1.0 = 20.4

Updated! Thanks

Based on that score, I put down the Cyrix with all Cache disabled as a 386DX-40 because it scores ~ 18 points...

I'll drag up my mega pimped 386DX 33mhz 64k cache beast from the basement shortly 😀

Excellent!

My table has a score of around 13 for a 386DX-33. Very interested to see what you will get!

3Dbench gave 15.8 fps for below system:
CPU: AMD 386DX-40 MHz
MOBO: MB-4D50L (OPTi 82C495 SX chipset), 256 kiB cache
RAM: 4 x 4 MiB 60 ns
Graphics card: #9GXE (S3 928) ISA

That motherboard is 386DX/486 hybrid motherboard and it has two VLB slots. I could try some VLB cards if you are interested how they perform on a 386.

Edit: I forgot to mention that the #9GXE has 1 MiB DRAM + 2 MiB VRAM. It has a wait state jumper and it is set to zero. Motherboard ISA divider is set to 5 so ISA clock rate is 8 MHz as it should. So nothing is over clocked.

Awesome! Thanks!

Question for you...

Does you mainboard have a jumper for 33 or 25 MHz (instead of 40)?

Because if it does you could also provide us scores for a 386DX-25 and 33!

No need to test other videocards, yours is just fine...

I'm currently out of town but tomorrow I'll provide you with results from two different 386DX 33mhz machines 😀

Machine: PS/2 Model 30-386

I wonder what led that to be displayed.

no surprises there, my PS1/pro could just be a PS2 variant without the EISA/MCA slots. This machine uses 72pin ECC ram 😳 which is quite weird for a 386sx-only pc (cpu soldered onboard , no upgrade slots)
another weird IBM thing is that the 1.44MB floppy has no power connector, it gets it's power from the standard floppy calbe... 😮

It does and 25 MHz is the slowest it supports. Here are results for 25, 33 and 40 MHz. I also tested with VLB card since I wanted to know is there any benefit from having VLB on a 386. There isn't. I got only a little better results with VLB card. The difference is so small that I cannot even be sure is it because of VLB or because of better graphics chip.

CPU: AMD 386DX-40 MHz (same CPU underclocked for 33 MHz and 25 MHz tests)
Mainboard: MB-4D50L (OPTi 82C495 SX chipset)
Amount of RAM: 16 MiB (4 x 4 MiB, 60 ns)
Amount of External Cache: 256 kiB, 15 ns
Video card (ISA tests): #9GXE (S3 928)
Video card (VLB tests): #9GXE64 (S3 864)

3Dbench v1.0 results
Clock | ISA | VLB
-----------------------------
25 MHz : 9.8 FPS | 11.4 FPS
33 MHz : 13.1 FPS | 15.3 FPS
40 MHz : 15.8 FPS | 18.5 FPS
