Why just 440hx at a fixed cpu clock? This is basically just a video card race as it is, which I'm sure some people would know the result already. I'd be flexible to all the Intel pentium chipsets.

I have a 440tx. I'd participate with an intel pentium + intel mb square off, to see where that will lead, as these are still quite capable machines that don't see much attention.

430.

Because two pentiums. 😀

As said, yal’ll go ham wild. I’m stickin with the 430 hx dual pentium.

That second CPU is not doing you any good in Windows ME.

I’ll probably do the record attempts in 9x/ME but normal use under XP. Yeah, you’re correct.

Here's mine:

MMX 233
3Dfx Voodoo Banshee PCI
OEM 430TX based board
64MB RAM
Win95 OSR2.5

3DMark2000 - 640x480 16bit - 436 3Dmarks

I might give it a go at 1024x768 just to see that Banshee way out of its league. I have a GeForce4 MX440 PCI that will really help out in this situation with TnL, but I'm somewhat unwilling to mess with my setup right now. Is CPU overclocking allowed for the results to be valid?

Voodoo 2 SLI on fastvoodoo 4.6 with mismatch.
1024x768x16 default 3dm2000

800x600x16 default 3dm99

As to be expected a serious cpu bottleneck.

I’m actually surprised to see that my radeon 7500 is out performing the voodoos.

Anyone have a voodoo 5 to try?

Why? Makes sense. The 7500 has HW T&L, I expect it would also beat a Voodoo 5.

Also you're very CPU bottlenecked so I doubt a V5 would be faster than a V3 in a P1!

It's a battle between driver overhead crippling the card from feeding the GPU fast enough and the actual capability of the GPU architecture...

Well I think the difference is that you have a dual cpu? And also hw t&l seriously defeats a cpu's software t&l. I am curious about your 3dm99 results though.

And here some bottlenecked voodoo2 SLI Quake 2 on demo2.dm2 results.

640x480

800x600

1024x768

I think the mmx can do 39,7 ish fps?

Only one cpu used on my posted run (win ME)

That makes me even more interested in the non t&l 3dm99 and quake2 results of your setup.

I even got Medal of Honor Allied Assault started (with the WickedGL dll) every resolution same results on Stalingrad between 8 and 28 fps, from looking outside up to looking into a wall on the outside of the map. Averaging around 12fps i guess on lowest detail. And the lack of T&L really matters here.

Idk why but 3dm99 never seems to want to work when I try installing it. Says something about being corrupt. I can try re downloading.

Link me on quake you want me to run.

The version I am running is from this link.
[EDIT: link to warez removed]

Downloading is slow at best from the website as a zipfile, sometimes you will have more luck torrenting it.

I tried getting that to work but had no luck. The program won’t launch idk what issue is.

I also tried getting 3dm99 to work under xpsp2 no luck.

I did get it to install on my k63+ under xpsp2
Idk what the heck is up with the 3dm99 installer, but it seems to be a crap shoot if 99 works at any given time.

I did get 3dm2001 to work under xpsp2 here is that:

I wasn’t able to get my quadro nvs 400 to work under windows ME because of resource issues with the card once drivers were installed

But I did get it to work under windows XP sp2 using the xpsp2 driver

Nice, but do you have any more cpu appropiate benchmarks?
