Benchmarks: 3DMark 2001SE, QIII Arena

3DMark2001 SE Source: MadOnion

3DMark2001 SE is the latest installment in the 3DMark series by MadOnion. By combining DirectX8 support with completely new graphics, it continues to provide good overall system benchmarks. 3DMark2001 SE 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 3DMark scores denote better performance.

3DMark2001SE Benchmark Results
Motherboard (FSB/Memory) 3DMarks Ranking
1. 256MB Crucial PC2700 (133/333 MHz) 11084
2. 256MB Corsair XMS3200 (133/333 MHz) 11098
3. 256MB Corsair XMS3200 (215/430 MHz) 12066

Please keep in mind when viewing these benchmarks that the overclocked Corsair also has a slight CPU overclock as well. Still, 12k with the DetonatorXP 30.82 drivers and no videocard overclock is very nice!

Quake III Arena is a First Person Shooter (FPS) that revolutionized gaming as we know it. Using multiple light sources and having graphics textures that can fill videocards, even after 3 years it's still able to bring a cutting edge system to its knees.
