Im building a cyrix 5x86 100mhz PC and i want to compare some benchs to know how good/regular/bad is my setup!!

Someone with same cpu to give me a hand?

thanks!

Ye olde Ultimate 486 Benchmark would be a good place to look, the 5x86 is involved there, since it's technically a faster 486. Consistently near the top of the pile, one of the best CPUs to have graced socket 3.

I recently scored a 120gp.

Might play with it at some point. Should be able to run it at 100gp settings?

I have one running at 120 and can run any bench you need.

Cyrix 5x86 100GP here.
Motherboard Aquarius MB4DUV (UMC UM8496/8498)
32MB fastpage 60ns
256kB cache
Diamond Stealth Trio32 VLB
Quantum Bigfoot 4,3GB

Ms Dos 7.1 (from Windows 98SE)
Some Cyrix program to enable hidden switches

Ran Phil's dosbench suite.
Pc player 320x240: 13,1 fps
Doom 640x480: 2126 realtics
Quake 320x240: 10.0 fps
Speedsys CPU : 52,24, ram 34,48MB/s

This particular motherboard isn't the fastest around, but it gives you another comparison.

Hi guys! thanks reply, i will post my results, will love to compare to others with cyrix 5x86

I did this benchmarks, but i will be happy to try another ones

3Dbench 1.0 90.9
3DBench2 85.2

Doom - Shareware 1.9 fullscreen NO borders, no sound

doom -timedemo demo3 -nosound = 2134/1679 = 44.4fps
doom -timedemo demo1 -nosound = 5026/3950 = 44.53fps

Quake v1.06 shareware 320x200 fullscreen NO borders nosound nocdaudio (quake -nosound -nocdaudio)

timedemo demo1 = 11.4fps

Hi! yes, i try to read, but is too much info... i want just a fast compare to other cyrix, with same parameters. I tried to read the pdf, but i feel lost with what parameters he use with doom, quake, because i get very different results

@theelf, in the thread I linked, just scroll down the page a bit and you will find some comparison charts 😀

Hi!!! thanks for testing

One question, the Quake benchmark is with fullscreen or the one from chris pack that have a small screen. Because if is second, i get 13.6 fps

If this one i get 13.6

I ask you because other benchmarks, i get similar results, like Chris's 3D Bench i get 87.2 (52.3fps)

Thanks! yes i already check all 15 pages before, in fact, was one of the threads i use to compare my cyrix before decide open this one, to have less but a more direct results

My Quake score is from the PCL DOSBENCH suite, and has the status bar at the bottom same as your screenshot.

thanks! i get curious about overclock the 5x86 to 120mhz like you did, sadly i need to disable L2 cache to be stable, but at 120mhz even without L2 , i get this results
