Hey guys, the best way to put that computer to a stress test is now out with an updated version! I heard it's harsh, with *good* video cards, only getting scores of 2000 or so! I hope my computer fairs well! The servers are all being hammered right now, and downloading may be tough. The file is around 175 megs, have fun you 56K'ers. Here is a link to a list of downlods though:

<a href='http://www.futuremark.com/download/?3dmark03.shtml' target='_blank'>http://www.futuremark.com/download/?3dmark03.shtml</a>

Not on the list is <a href='http://www.filefront.com' target='_blank'>http://www.filefront.com</a> , I'm currently downloading @ 300 kb/s off it, even though their server is 97% full <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    do you guys not understand the concept of benchmarking? This thing is SUPPOSED to tear your system up. It's what's gonna be used to benchmark the latest hardware for the next few years. It has to be so intense so that when the Geforce 6 and the Radeon 12700 come out it can accurately test them.

    I mean you don't wanna use quake1 to benchmark today's hardware, because even a geforce 1 will hit around 200 on there (there's a bit in the quake 1 engine where once the fps goes high enough a bottleneck actually forms so you don't really see like 600fps in it like you'd expect). Its just not an accurate test. So likewise, this is meant to be an accurate test for a few years to come.

    Oh and I can't download it from anywhere. :X pisses me off.

    [edit]
    Finally found a working mirror on <a href='http://www.gamershell.com/download_1296.shtml' target='_blank'>Gamer's Hell</a>.

    On my 1.2ghz AMD tbird, 256 SDRAM, GeForce 2 GTS 32meg I got <b>41</b>.

    On my mate's 2400+ AMD Xp, 512 DDRRAM, Gigabyte ATI Radeon 9700 pro and Sound Blaster Audigy he got <b>nine hundred and fourty five</b>. That's with FSAA on 8x and Anistropic filtering on max.

    That's probably the best gaming system you could hope for at the moment.

    My graduation present to myself will be a new Alienware machine with whatever is top-of-the-line by that time - probably the second or third version of the GeForce FX. Bwahaha! Bwaha!

    I've got a server that has a huge libary of files that I've got a reserved slot to access and that I can download from without counting towards my monthly limit.

    Wewt.

    P.S. And no, I can't send you the file.

    Couldn't run it because it requires DX9 and I'll die a torturously slow death before converting to BloatwareXtreme (aka Windows XP), I feel bad enough just running windows so I can play my games....

    Anyway, 3dmark2001SE used to give me round abouts 2430 if I recall, so judging by the marks i've seen so far for other systems i'd prolly get about 750 or so?

    1.1ghz PIII
    256mg Ram
    win98SE
    MSI GeForce2 MX/400

    --ok nevermind, actually read a few more posts and my new estimate is 40 +- 10--

    Maybe because it includes a stripped-down version of the Doom 3 engine (or at least something that looks very much like it), plus two or three others? <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif'><!--endemo-->
