You can find N_Bench here. http://www.abitboy.com/files.htm Be warned it is over 40MB. You can also find MS DirectX 8.1 beta build 0620 there.

I must say this is on a Tb900@990 on a AMD750 motherboard, win2k, Hercules 4500 64 Mb @ 180/180. The Vivid!XS entry is because I´m using latest drivers 7.111 that are only available at the moment from Videologic. Cool thing is that they work on any KyroII board... Using win2k sp2, Dx8.1beta620.

Well, they say it´s a cpu benchmark...

It runs in 640x480x16 and you can't change that (not for the benchmark) - so yes you can be sure that it's a CPU-limited benchmark - unless, of course, you're running it on a S3Virge..

[Nuno]

It was just irony about the fact the PC with the G400 scored higher

[Joel]

Let's also not forget that my system is running at 1.2GHz vs. 990MHz. It is a CPU benchmarking tool. That is one reason why I debated about posting it here or in the General Hardware/Software forum.
The graphics were stunning none the less.

What I would like to see is how the Intel machines compare. Anyone??

Joel

[cbman]

Give me a little bit and I will up a Cele II at either 875 or 901 (I will try for 901 but its become a little unstable as it was 28 Degree's C out today in my apartment without A/C)

[cbman]

Hmmm... Base 800 Athalon beat me in all but two where I trounced it handily (according to it )

Cele II 566@882 (I had to compromise... 882 is good enought for now)

Well I don´t think that this benchmark is optimized for the Kyro.

I get similar results with Joel and he has a 1,2GHz CPU+G400.

Well anyway I don´t think even the g400 would be a bottleneck in this test.

The Rest

[Maggi]

hmmm ... on my dual P3-600E it doesn't run at all, but instead it reports:

<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" size="2">The programm cannot be run because hardware functions are insufficient</font>

I noticed they have a P3-700 as minimum requirement, could that be hindering it from running ?

Very strange ...

Cheers,
Maggi

[Novdid]

Yes. If you run a 16MB videocard it sais that that is insufficient, although I feel that some 16MB cards could run this bench pretty good.

[Maggi]

Thanx Novdid !

must be my true DualHead under Win2k then ...
