I'm getting close to completing a dual P3 box and I need to start looking into getting some games/benchmark to push the system. I have quake 3, but that about it. Anyone know of any good SMP supports games to use for benching?

The other id tech3 games.

Not many game engines supported SMP.

Futuremark has released almost all of their previous versions up to '06 for free.

I just looked it up, it's rather surprising that it does not 😵

You could also just try some more modern titles, would be pretty interesting seeing some semi-modern titles running on a dual P3 system
No idea of your GPU but maybe try Skyrim or Crysis, would be impressive to see if you could tweak them to the point of running smoothly on a system like that

Bringing back an old thread. Anything more to add to this subject. So far i have only ran 3dmark01,ut 2004 which runs smooth at 1024x768, MOHPA runs ok but im getting stability issues ans keeps crashing. Company of hereos runs smooth. Of course only one cpu is doing all the work.
