Hi alls

Following my topic about Socket7 CPUs (Socket 7 200MHz test), I wanted to try same benchmarks on a more modern (!) platform, as I think it's the last socket that have handled CPUs form differents manufacturer.

Mainboard is an Asus TUV4X, 64 MB PC133 SDRAM, same ATI Rage 128 Pro. I used the Dosbench compilation from PhilsComputerLab.

Unfortunately, I cannot run my Celeron 300A on this board (I hope my BE6-II is still working, so I could add more results to this bench with slot 1 CPUs).

Here are the results :

The attachment S370 benchmarks.png is no longer available

What we can see, is the C3 is a very weak CPU, @500 MHz it barely beats best Socket 7 CPUs @ 200 Mhz. Pentium III S is a very nice performer, compared clock to clock to the Coppermine (the double amount of cache ?).

Bye
Vincent

Did you use FASTVID while testing?

No. Should I ?

Quake in 640x480 seems to be limited to 60.6 FPS.

There is no hardcoded limit.

I had around 90 FPS on an AthlonXP system in that resolution, when using FASTVID.

I will test FASTVID !

So. No difference with fastvid : 60,6 FPS.

Turn off vertical sync or setup your monitor for refresh rate higher than 60Hz 😀

Need help? Begin with photo and model of your hardware 😉

If you haven't done so already, patch Quake to v1.08. Also, disable VSync by editing Quake's config.cfg and setting these entries to zero:

1vid_wait "0"
2_vid_wait_override "0"

That together with FASTVID, should allow you to get the maximum FPS that your CPU can deliver.

But why did I get more FPS in other definition ? With the same monitor ?

FASTVID only works in pure DOS. If you're benchmarking Quake from within Windows, it's likely the GPU drivers already enable the relevant write-combining features.
