I figure with the destruction of the original Marvin subforum, now would be a good time to start my long planned 3DMark99 thread.

Here's how it works:

You state the following:

You're Video Card (Exact Model and Manufacturer)
Any current tweaks (Driver tweaks, Overclocks, etc)
Video Driver Version
You're OS, CPU, Motherboard, and Memory in detail
- please include: AGP Speed or PCIe Revision and Chipset minimum.
You're 3DMark99 score @ default settings.
Any optional 3DMark99 scores you wish to provide (Eg 1280x1024 scores)
Optional but highly appreciated: GPUz Screenshot, CPUz Screenshot
Result Browser File

Please sequentially number your benchmark after the one behind yours so people can more easily search the thread.

Here is an example (Also Benchmark #1):

Benchmark #1
Gateway (Creative) NVIDIA TNT2 Pro 16MB @ Stock
- Model Number CT5826
Detonator Drivers 28.32 Win9X
Windows 98SE
Intel Pentium III 900 (Coppermine Socket 370)
Compaq Deskpro EN Motherboard @ AGP 4x
2x128MB PC133 SDRAM
7025 3DMarks
13458 CPU 3DMarks
(Will insert screenshots when not on mobile)
(Will insert browser file when not on mobile)

Let the benching begin!

Would you consider making a Google spreadsheet for us to enter our results in? Then it would be easy for anyone to download and sort however we wish.

The more I learn, the more I realize how much I don't know.

This might be kind of a silly question, but for some reason when I try to run 3DMark99 on my WinXP machine it does not want to boot. Does it need Win98SE or an updated service pack for XPÉ The computer in question is a P4 3.06HT 533 FSB with 1 gig RAM and an NVidia 5800 Ultra with XP pro service pack 2 installed. If I can get it to work I will record my score, thanks in advance!
