Changes:

- Select 1 to run MTRRLFBE to boost VGA performance on Pentium II+ machines

Nice 😀
I still think though that 3DBENCH is quite useless... 🤣

Yea 😒

But it has it's place with slower computers. The only benchmark that runs on a 286 and it scales very well until it runs into faster Pentium III machines 😵

I tried MTRRLFBE on the Phenom II with no change in fps at all.
The Atom/GMA945 did not like MTRRLFBE - all the benchmarks crashed at start.

Well, it also craps out with the 486slc2 without cache enabled.
I don't know, I don't trust it even on slower machines after that... it's too unpredictable 😐

Hmm I can't remember if I ran it on my Phenom II.

Hmm looks like I didn't input them. But I think AMD is just fast without any tools. The higher FSB of 200 might make a difference as well?

Did you try FASTVID? While I don't have it in the menu, it is in a folder. Might add it to the menu tomorrow just in case 😀

3DBench should remain in the suite IMHO... 😉

It's a classic 😀 Great for quckly testing a 486 or Pentium. Doom takes too long on a 386. Imagine BIOS tuning with Doom. It would take weeks 😵

it would be great if it wasn't buggy... and who needs it when there is PCPBench?
at any rate, I'm stopping now 🤣

So back from DOS again: FASTVID works and the benchmarks work with FASTVID. But no change in fps at all on the Phenom II. So I think this combination of AMD Chipset + AMD CPU + AMD GPU is MS-DOS-ready without any tools. 😀

I hear you keropi. I also agree that PCPBENCH is much better. I just can't believe how it scales from a 386 to an i7 in such a smooth fashion. Really impressive.

Wondering if the new AMDs or an i7 4770 can crack the 1000 fps in Quake 😈

Guys, do you have any idea why quake benchmark does not work when I boot from flash drive? I tested on Xeon and Atom systems, it returns

1OMPT=: cannot open

Tried recopying the files, removing read-only attrib, nothing helps.

There are some tips on google:

Try setting a PATH variable

SET PATH=C:\

Before starting Quake, the path-variable must be defined. Anything goes:

1C:\> path bla

That sounds like a challange.
I do not own an i7 4770 but I think a fast Core 2 Duo system will get a nice score.
I will need to search through my mess to see if I can find a good CPU and some fast memory.

Don't discount AMD. My Phenom II 555 with onboard Radeon chipset graphics got 800 fps. Surely the new AMD chips would beat that?

Thank you guys, it worked. I should have googled it in the first place 😁 Anyway, added Xeon 3230 and Atom N270 results.

It's interesting that Xeon shows an impressive boost from fastvid, while Atom shows exact same numbers!

@Default settings the Core 2 Duo E8600 got 878.2 FPS in Quake with a Radeon 5770
I will try a few other grapics card but it seems perhaps I have to overclock to reach 1000 FPS

I got a great Doom score though, 383 FPS!!

edit

the Geforce 7900 GTX really sucked

/edit

Give us more preconfigured benches please! 😁

Core 2 Duo E8600 @ 4500 MHz + Radeon 5770 Quake 1092.4 FPS
I am writing down the result in the normal table because I did not find the link to the overclocked one.
Feel free to move it as soon as I am done typing in the numbers.
