I was looking through my file server the other day and stumbled upon an old folder containing 3DMark 2000-Vantage screenshots I made back in 2007-2009 (I had too much free time back then 😀 ). I'm only going to post the 3DMark2001 shots here, since IMO 3D'01 is by far the most interesting benchmark.

I still own most of these machines, though many of them run different hardware and software than they did back in 08. If anyone wants to see the 03-Vantage scores of any of these rigs, please tell me!

I'll post different categories (eg: 9800Pro w/ different CPUs) as replies to the original post.

I'll start off with my Compaq Deskpro 4000: 440FX, PII-300 Klamath, 192MB EDO, Radeon 7000 PCI (64MB DDR):

Here's the same Radeon 7000 running on a BX board w/ a P2-350 Deschutes. Amazing, the difference SDRAM makes:

My Socket 939 system:
Opteron 185 at 3.0GHz (stock voltage, too!)
4GB of OCZ CL2 DDR400
Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe

With a single GeForce 8800GTS (G80 version):

With two 8800GTS in SLI. Kinda interesting how the DX7 game tests are actually slower with SLI.

And with a single GeForce GTX 260 (Core 216):

When you run 3DMark2001 on almost any GPU produced in the past ~7 years, the CPU is actually mostly what is being benchmarked.

Here are a few older Intel IGPs

Pentium III 1000EB using the i815 integrated graphics (benchmark was not run using default settings: had to use 16-bit color).

Pentium 4 1.8GHz using the i845 integrated graphics
p41800i845igp.jpg

Core 2 Duo T5600 (1.83GHz/667FSB) using GMA950. It actually manages to outperform the Celeron 900/Radeon 9800Pro a few posts above!

The performance of of the Pentium M (Dothan) is really incredible. I got the 2Ghz Version in my old laptop paired with mobility radeon 9600 and it can still run quite a few games.

Hrm why not!

I don't have my PIII-S machine running at the moment as I need some new fans for my voodoo... but in the mean time I decided to bench my everyday machine. I can get higher scores if I go to benchmark mode and stop unnecessary programs, fiddle with LOD bias and what not... but I didn't feel like it.

C2D E8500 @3.8ghz , DDR2-1066, GTX-580, stock settings.

Yeah! I still wonder why Intel didn't make a S478 version of Dothan back when AMD was slaughtering the P4.

Nice!

I've always wanted one of the XPS B systems, but all I can find around here are XPS T's and Dimension 4100s.

Very interesting. This makes me want to do an XP vs Win7 comparison run. I would've thought a 3.8GHz C2D+GTX-580 would smoke my old S939 Opteron system.

The P3-550 w/ GFFX result is actually kind of impressive. I wouldn't expect even 1000 marks from early P3s or even late P2s. How would that same FX5200 fare in a 66MHz FSB PC100 RAM'd PII?

Atom N470 at 1.83GHZ, GMA3150. Interesting how much slower it is than the GMA950 above.

^ its actually the core 2 duo which is outperforming the atom, and not just GMA3150 vs GMA950. Dont forget that we are speaking about 3dmark 2001 here 😉

Here's (very slightly overclocked) Atom N270 with i945 @ native resolution (1024x600). If the standard resolution is used, the score drops to 2684.

BTW, this actually surprised me - the i945 has some pixel shaders (at least DX 8.1) - I never knew it could run Nature test and advanced pixel shader so nice. I am actually impressed 😁 I bet I could play Morrowind on full details on this power-lusty baby 🤣

I've found that some games don't recognize the DirectX 8/9 features of the GMA 9xx. The drivers are the likely culprit. In fact Morrowind is one of them, and Max Payne 2 as well if I remember correctly.

My EeePC 900 has GMA 900 so I've experimented a bit. It is pretty slow though, kind of like a Geforce 2 GTS with DX9 features. It only has single channel DDR2 400 and it's the lowliest chipset (910GML).

A GTX 580 paired with a Core 2 Duo? Jesus, that must be a hell of a bottleneck.

Windows XP vs Win7 on the following hardware:
Athlon 64 3500+ (2.2GHz, 512K L2, S939 Venice)
AGP Radeon x1950Pro 512MB
Gigabyte K8NSC-939 (NF3 chipset)
2GB CL2.5 DDR400
Catalyst 10.2

Windows XP Pro SP3, all updates installed:
winxp3d01.jpg

Windows 7 Pro SP1 32-bit:
win73d01.jpg

Win 7's DX7 performance appears to be lower than XP's. DX8/9 performance is much better; 3DMark03, 05, and 06 scores were a lot closer together. 3DMark05's CPU test was actually 900 points higher on Windows 7 and ran noticeably quicker.

The Core 2 Duo is definitely a much faster processor than Atom, but I thought that both systems would be GPU-limited with such slow IGPs, even in 3DMark01.

Yeah, GT4 Nature runs very well on i945. On the C2D system, it's over twice as fast as the FX5200! The GMA950/C2D also outperforms the FX5200 in 3DMark03 and 05.

Will do another benchmark once I get my 700/1MBs running. Also scored an uber cheap FX5500 on ebay, will test that later as well.

Interesting fact is that replacing those Xeons with Tualatins 1.4 would literally triple the result. 😄
