You are welcome 😀 What other games from 1999-2002 are good benchmarks as well?

I'm a fan of 3D GameGauge - they specified the games they've used. The games rotated in and out as they were release.

3D GameGauge 2.0 in 1999: https://www.tgdaily.com/hardware-brief/19581- … asures-3d-games
Madden' 99, Unreal, Motorhead, Descent 3 and Half-Life.

3D GameGauge 2.5.1 in 2001: https://www.extremetech.com/computing/50468-a … 07500-preview/6
3D GameGauge 2.5.1 is a suite of seven games, one OpenGL (Quake 3), and six Direct3D (UT, Re-Volt, Expendable, Panzer Elite, NFL Fever and Jane’s USAF).

3D GameGauge 3.0 was released in 2002: https://www.extremetech.com/computing/51156-e … gauge-30-debuts
Commanche 4, Dungeon Siege, IL-2 Sturmovik, Jedi Knight II, NASCAR 2002, NHL 2002, Serious Sam SE, Unreal Performance Test

That sound AWESOME! Will you be able to make those tests with the same CPU that I used? 😜 Don't worry about the time, it is the least important factor right now.

I actually have a couple of SL5XL in my stash, I'll look around for SL6BY. The test will get done eventually though 😉

Perhaps that Crytek X-Isle demo? Certainly a mouthful for a CPU when there's no hardware T&L.
Assuming it can run with that hardware at all. If it doesn't work on Ati, then there sure is some impressive backwards compatibility since I can run it on a GTX 760 right now.

Wow, impressive. I currently have a Soyo SY-7VBA133 (VIA Apollo Pro133A) and have stability issues using some AGP cards. Im currently aiming for a MSI 815E Pro (Intel 815, with AGP 3,3V and ISA!). Thanks!

Where to download GameGauge? It seems impossible.

Good stuff.
Shared info describes pretty well the perf-to-clock ratio between the different chipsets and motherboards.
Some of the mobos can OC way past stock frequency which will change results a lot tho ...

Hi there VoodooMan,

great project and great great work you do! Congratulations! I really appreciated!

My question is:

Do you use the ASUS CUV266 with a Tualatin model where the VIA chipset VT8633 isn't native for that processors?
I ask you this cause I really need to know if I can upgrade my Pentium 3 that actually have, a 1GHZ version with a Tualatin one, not just for the speed but expecially for the cache doubled; I think I will have a great gain in games and in normal use on my Windows98SE Voodoo2 SLI project.

Can you tell me if it is worked or you used that processors in a 266T motherboard that isn't the CUV266 that you photographed?

Please dissipate my doubts, cause if only I know that a Tualatin can be compatibile with my rare motherboard I will sure bought it!

THANKS A LOT!

Small contribution to this excellent thread.
262 fps in Q3A on Asus P2B-D 1575/150 with Quadro FX4000 (details here).

He's using the board with an adaptor as he states in his post.
A Voodoo2 SLI system isn't going to gain much performance from a Tualatin chip though, so you're not really missing out.

Ok, perfect.
Thank you a lot.

Great project, thank you very much. As expected, 440bx is king.
But there is an opinion that the best chipset for P3 is... nvidia NV2A.
Dual-channel ddr memory operating at 400mhz (like nforce 2 ultra 400!), integrated gf4 ti4200 level graphics (at low frequencies). It is a pity that we did not see this logic in desktops.
