I wonder if the same config theorically on an older o.s. version would have resulted in an higher or similar result considering how technically fast and capable such GPU is. It is easy to test very old Directx9 card running faster those bench on old o.s. than more powerful gpu running the same app into a modern o.s.
Those 3D apps aren't suppose to run on such modern GPU, drivers, o.s. without I suppose compatibility fix or wrapper logics.

I did run it on dgvoodoo wrapper simulating a 256MB card and I think it scored around 55000.

I suppose because adding a wrapper above what the o.s. already might use to run old API designed apps which in any o.s. after Win 7 (maybe even Vista) I suppose run in a not native way. Win 7 had an easier retrocompatibility in my Directx6/7 tests compared to a Win 8.x config while it can be similar I suppose using the official Compatibility app to run old applications but requires many tests to find why an old game has problems or run at low speed. Sometimes for the missing DirectDraw or the real fullscreen isolated rendering logics. It's not difficult to find games that ran perfectly on old hardware and run slower on more modern configs.

Hello. 5 years later... 😀

Yesterday, I can beat the WORLD RECORD - 144334 3D marks on my i7-12700KF@4.8GHz and EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Ti SC+@stock running Windows 7 x64 SP1!! 😁

Impressive that the second test in high details still take quite an impact on frame rate... it's still heavy nowdays.. 😁

If me, I say: "Thank very you! 😁".

On oct 2nd, I can beat again my old WORLD RECORD - 154538 3D marks on my i7-12700KF@5.2GHz and EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Ti SC+@stock running Windows 7 x64 SP1!! 😁

Hi guys,

I'm wanting to use 3dm2000 for some DX7 card benchmarks, but keep running into the same darned problem. The system is an Asrock 4CordDual-VSTA with a Core 2 Duo E7600 and no matter what I try it just sits in the task manager using 50% CPU. I've tried all the files listed through this thread - replacing the main exe file, the systeminfofc.dll file, running in compatibility mode.. even the ryzen zix file - still at 50%.
Is there a fool-proof setup I can try?

Hello everyone. This thread has been really useful for me so far. I was trying to run good old 3DMark 2000 in my current system and I have overcome most of the issues so far except removing the FPS cap@ 144 fps (monitor runs @ 144Hz). I've run an FPS unlock patch that some member offered here with no results (the program just crashes), so I uninstall the patch and can run the benchmark flawlessly again but limited at 144fps no matter if I disable VSYNC in NVidia global settings and even if I disable it in the app profile as well (3dmark2000.exe). So, I don't know if anybody has any kind of advice or suggestion in order to get rid of the FPS limit, perhaps there is another patch somewhere else to make it work as it should by forcing VSYNC off somehow. I have Windows 11, Ryzen 5900X, RTX 3080 12GB, 32 GB DDR4.

Any suggestions are kindly appreciated.

Thanks!

Funny part: The 6900 XT's fans didn't even bother spinning at all until the "Matrix" parts of the demo started. 😉

Love it!

Edit: And that was with 8xEQ MSAA+SSTAA and 16xAF in 2048×1536 (for the correct aspect ratio).

Got the same issue with JPEG CORRUPT in my PENTIUM PRO system in 3DMARK2000
Game 2 does not work completely.
Ryzen patch did not help with this JPEG error..
Any ideas?

Super mysterious pseudo-vsync fps locks, are either windows randomly deciding to do some half-assed swap effect upgrade, or somebody having forgot what windowed g-sync entails.

Getting same JPEG Error, any fixes?

Pentium Pro has no MMX support, right? You might need some type of emulation. There's an old Linux MMX wrapper floating around. You could also try to run the benchmark in Dosbox with MMX support but that would probably be quite a hassle.

None of the patches provided here work for running 3DMark2000 on modern hardware (a dual/multi-core CPU) on a legacy OS such as Windows 2000.

in 2000, there is no Compatibility Mode to make use of, and the patches by themselves don't allow 3dMark2000 to launch.

I'm having the same issue as described here and here (being a similar multi-core CPU motherboard from the same manufacturer and time period) , where upon attempting to launch 3DMark2000, either vanilla or with any of the patches applied ( systeminfofc.dll, mmx fix, Ryzen fix..), it fails to start with no error provided, and the CPU activity is stuck at 50%.

I've tested this on a fresh installation of Windows 2000 SP4, using DX7.

AMD Phenom II X4 965 BE
ASRock AliveDual-eSATA2
NVIDIA GeForce 6200 AGP
8GB RAM (recognised as 4GB in Win2000)

Have you tried 3DMK2000patch4.zip in this thread? This is the best version which for me seems to just work, on new and old hardware.

I tried all patches separately, 1 through 4, and none of them worked in Windows 2000.

I've done a fresh install of the system today, with Windows XP. 3DMark2000 runs fine without any patches! There is no 50% CPU activity and lock-up when launching the application. I haven't run any full benchmarks yet, but I can get to the main menu dialog box without issue.

Has anyone been able to get the CPUBenchmark portion to work on modern CPUs? I've used the Ryzen patch here and the benchmark now runs without crashing, but the CPU benchmark won't run so I can't get a total score. My CPU is an i14600K.

Everything else is working fine thanks to the patches and tweaks in this thread, thanks to all who made them.

3DMark 2000 is an excellent program with a pleasant to look at Windows interface. I can go directly to fill rate to do a simple benchmark. With the patches it runs on my systems. It seems that the gaming scene tests are quite limited by the CPU. An Ivy Bridge CPU with integrated graphics and a Conroe + GTX750Ti achieve the same 16k marks, and I can hear the CPU fan working. Still the fill rate shows a difference and allows to inrease the resolution. In 3DMark03 they made the fill rate achieve the passport texel rating, but perhaps the test is less representative with only simple colors drawn.

Amazing how much graphics quality had exploded between years 99 and 2003. The size of later versions of 3DMark has grown unwieldy. It needs installation and the ResultsBrowser is garbage. I'm rather surprised that the old version still works, when many games from that era don't.

The CPU benchmark runs only on 16-bit color graphics mode.

Can a capable hacker make the DirectX 8.1 message in 3dMark 2001 SE go away? It won't run on any of my systems with Server 2003 or Server 2008 R2.
