I recall Quake 1.08 scoring higher than 1.06. I think 1.06 is sorta the standard around here. Could you use Quake demo version 1.06?

I will try to use the Quake 1.06 demo from Phils benchmark package. I just tested a 1.08 version from a bench disc as I have had much issues with 1.06 in DOS to the point I thought my 1.06 install was corrupted. Now I have realized that the 1.06 install probably is fine, Quake 1.06 and newer just wont run in DOS without a sound card for what ever reason while earlier versions run fine.

Here are the results, I also added them to the overclocked section of Phils database.

POD @100, PC Chips M921 256KB (real) cache (UMC PCI), 16MB FPM, S3 Trio64 2MB.

3dbench2: 97.6 FPS
PCPBench: 25.7 FPS
Doom: 53.81 FPS
Quake: 21.8 FPS

I used Phils benchmark package. I did not reboot between benchmarks.

This PC Chips UMC board is not as fast as vetz Asus VLB board but it's not dog slow either! 😀

The 3dbench2 score looks really good.

As vetz has covered how a P100 performs with the FX chipset compared to the POD @100 with his Asus VL/I-486SV2GX4 I thought I could add the HX chipset. Im using a S3 Trio64 card with 2MB.

P100, Zida 5DHX rev:1.2 512KB cache, 32MB FPM, S3 Trio64 2MB.

Defaults

3dbench2: 105.5 FPS
PCPbench: VGA 29.7 FPS
Doom: 55.86 FPS
Quake: 25.4 FPS

Tweaked

3dbench2: 105.5 FPS
PCPbench: 30.9 FPS
Doom: 56.24 FPS
Quake: 26.2 FPS

The P100 + tweaked HX system gets beaten by vetz POD @100 + VL/I-486SV2GX when it comes to Doom!

Speedsys

Not really relevant to this thread but here are the results with a P133 running in the same motherboard.

Comparing with all the systems in Phils database this seems to be the fastest P133 system of them all! 😀

P133, Zida 5DHX rev:1.2 512KB cache, 32MB FPM, S3 Trio64 2MB.

3dbench2: 124.1 FPS
PCPbench: 38.5 FPS
Doom: 65.29 FPS
Quake: 32.0 FPS

Since starting this post, I have acquired a VLB Trio64 and was considering redoing this chipset comparison with that card for more definitive results. My PCI graphics card is still a Trio64V2/DX. Does anyone know how a standard Trio64 (86C764-P) compares with a Trio64V2/DX (86C775) with the referenced benchmarks, namely, PCPBench, Quake, and Doom? Wiki mentions the V2 has includes vertical bilinear filtering.

I have also obtained a motherboard based on the ALi M1487/M1489 PCI chipset. It is a Gigabyte GA-5486AL Rev. 2A. One of the neat things about the ALi chipset is that it supposedly has working DMA on the IDE port, which I do not believe the SiS 496 or UMC 8881 has. Anyone care to speculate where this motherboard/chipset fits into the benchmarks?

The board suffered some battery acid leakage, but has since been cleaned up and retrofitted with a coin cell battery.
