Q3A Benchmarks and AMD

[JanTM]

If you have an _AMD K6-2_ please post your Q3A scores here so I can compare them to my own.
Thanx in advance.

Mine are

640x480x16 33fps
800x600x16 33fps
1024x768x16 33fps
1280x1024x16 32fps
1600x1200x16 28fps

AMD K6-2 450MHz, 128MB ram and CL Geforce Pro.

lets just say alot less then that

I run it at max everything at 1024x768 I get 32.7fps and 1280x960 is 26.3fps. With a few tweeks I get 38.6 at 1024x768. If I turn off Dynamic Lighting and Marks on walls I jump to 50.2. If I run at 800x600 I get 58.8.

My system is a K6-2 450Mhz (running at 112x4=448Mhz), 128MB SDRAM (clocked 75Mhz, my FIC VA-503+ hates running memory at 100+Mhz reguardless of type), Voodoo3 2000 (running at 166Mhz), CL Sound Blaster PCI-128. The CPU runs at 2.4volts top run 100% stable already and refused to load Windows at 500Mhz (even with a large heatsink/fan).

AMD K6-2 504(112*4.5), VIA MVP3, Guillemot 3D Prophet SDR, 128MB PC100 SDRAM, DEMO001, v3.16 drivers

Normal: 47.2
HQ: 44.8
HQ@1024x768x16: 45.2
HQ@1024x768: 34.8

* Marks on walls off, Eject Brass off
* Disabling dynamic lights adds 2FPS
* Each score is best of 2 runs

What is the standard demo to use for benchmarks? If you post, use closely standard settings so we all can compare apples to apples.

Hej Danmark, kig her:
K6-2 500 @500, V3 2000 @143, 96 MB EDO, FIC VA 503+, SB 32 PnP ISA

Demo001, normal settings, + texture quality slider max, + 800x600, - marks on walls, - dynamic lights, - ejecting brass:
35 fps (lyder dårligt, ikke?)

JanTM: I think that in generally the Geforce preforms worse on K6-X then Voodoo3 does. Thats because the bad 3dnow support of the drivers and the lack of processor power that the geforce needs. That explains why your q3 marks aint at top, and why you are not gainign FPS by lowering the resulution.

Secrom: Your ram is holding u back. Get some good SDRAM and u will see a hughe preformance increase. Just by adding 64 SDRAM will increase overall fps by 6 - 10. I
know by experience!

JanTM try with detonator drivers from nVidia.

You have same frame rate at low 640x480 res and in 1280x1024, and that is not right.

38 FPS at default QIII graphic setup in 800x600 with crapy TNT2 M64.

[miha76]

Whel my bench is on K6-2 450 and Ali chipset, and TNT2 works in PCI mode, not using AGP even if it is AGP card.

[JanTM]

I have just installed Nvidia's detonator drivers 5.16
I turned off the fancy stuff like dynamic lighting, brass ejecting and mark on walls. This gives me

800x600x16 43.7fps
1280x1024x16 40.4fps

Haven't tried other resolutions - but the result appear to be the same, just 10 fps higher

[Todd a]

Your still getting pretty low. What speed CPU and amount of SDRAM do you have (and motherboard)? Are you running 32bit color? I'm beating the snot out of you with an $80 Voodoo3 2000.

[JanTM]

I have a 450MHz AMD K6-2 and 128MB SDRAM. The Mobo is a Chaintech 5AGM2 and the latest bios upgrade is already installed.

The benchmarks above are all in 16 bit colors and 16 bit textures.

[Tweaker]

Default HQ settings except resolution
1024x768x32 68.4 fps
1600x1200x32 41.4 fps
2048x1536x32 30.1 fps
