Benchmarks: 3DMark2001, X2: The Threat

3DMark2001SE Source: FutureMark

By combining DirectX8 support with completely new graphics, it continues to provide good overall system benchmarks. 3DMark2001SE has been created in cooperation with the major 3D accelerator and processor manufacturers to provide a reliable set of diagnostic tools. The suite demonstrates 3D gaming performance by using real-world gaming technology to test a system's true performance abilities. Tests include: DirectX8 Vertex Shaders, Pixel Shaders and Point Sprites, DOT3 and Environment Mapped Bump Mapping, support for Full Scene Anti-aliasing and Texture Compression and two game tests using Ipion real-time physics.

Higher numbers denote better performance.

3DMark2001 Benchmark Results
System 3DMarks Ranking
2x 256MB Crucial DDR2-533 (200/533) 12796

2x 256MB Samsung DDR2-533 (200/533)

12855

2x 256MB Samsung DDR2-533 (216/575)

13061

Unfortunately we didn't have a higher powered PCI-Express vidoecard during testing, otherwise we'd might see a much larger performance difference between the Crucial and Samsung modules.

X2: The Threat Source: Egosoft

A completely rewritten 3D engine based on DirectX8 encompasses many visual effects such as volumetric Nebulae (gas clouds) that have a real impact in the game (you can hide in them), many new engine, shield, weapon and explosion effects. Objects cast real dynamic 3D shadows! Dynamic DP3 bump mapping allows a previously unseen level of detail.

2x 256MB Crucial DDR2-533 (200/533) 118.476

2x 256MB Samsung DDR2-533 (216/575)

The benchmark in X2: The Threat shows a small performance improvement due to overclocking for the Samsung DDR2 as anticipated. There should be no surprise that the Crucial memory and the Samsung memory perform the same at stock speeds.
