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.

3DMark2001SE Benchmark Results
	Video Card	3DMarks	Ranking
1.	ATi Radeon 9800 Pro	16417
2.	ATi Radeon 9700 Pro	15565
3.	MSI G4Ti4600-TD	13910
4.	Gigabyte Radeon 9600 Pro	11634
5.	Albatron GeForceFX 5600P Turbo	11166
6.	Albatron GeForceFX 5900PV	15548
7.	Albatron GeForceFX 5900PV (466/935)	15973

In 3DMark2001SE the Albatron GeForceFX 5900PV scores about the same as the ATi Radeon 9700 Pro. Definitely not bad but it's about 1000 points below that of the ATi Radeon 9800 Pro and even overclocking does not boost it past the 16k mark.

This new accurate diagnostic tool, designed for DirectX9.0, provides you with all the information you need to make informed hardware assessments. Havok Total real-time physics library from Havok - these routines are used to accurately model the movements of objects due to forces, etc. FMOD sound library from Firelight Technologies - these are used for the various sound effects and routines used in the tests. Graphics adapter analysis software from Powerstrip of Entech Taiwan - this is used to correctly determine the speeds of the graphics processing and video memory chips, plus supply additional hardware information. Higher 3DMark03 scores denote better performance.

Here we see that the Albatron GeForceFX 5900PV at stock speeds trails the Radeon 9700 Pro by about 600 points. Overclocking allows the FX 5900PV to beat the Radeon 9700 Pro but does not come anywhere close to that of the Radeon 9800 Pro.
