3dfx benchmark challenge.

[ms-dos]

The 3dfx community has been pretty quiet for to long.
So I propose a benchmark challenge. Lets have some fun, shall we?
It's  simple anyone with a 3dfx PC can join.
The scores will be ranked, listed and categorized by the cards chipset (voodoo 1/2/3 and so on) in the OP
The benchmark used will be 3dmark2000.
And best of all the person with the highest score will get what? bragging rights for having the fasted 3dfx system.

Rules
3dmark2000 must be run with a screen resolution of 640x480.
Over clocking is allowed.
No volt modding your 3dfx card.
After market heat sinks are allowed.
No agp/pci to pci-e adapters.
You must post you results in a screen shot. (see second post for a example.)

Q&A
Q:Why the 640x480 resolution?[/color]
A:To allow voodoo 1 owners to join in.[/color]Q:Why no volt modding?
A:Not everyone has the ability to volt mod a voodoo card witch would make a uneven playing field.
Q:Why no agp/pci to pci-e adapters?
A: Much like overvolting it makes for a uneven playing field.

Hi ms-dos,

many thanks for both the initiative and support of this 3dfx Community.

Just a little suggestion: you can upload the screenshots using the "Image file upload" button. In these way we don't risk that these images could be not visibile due to dead links or other issues of the remote server(s).

Good 3dfx testing and posting.

Bye bye

Score: 421  
(I have a GF2 GTS/PRO installed but 3dmark is not running on this don't know why later edit: changed the board to second system and it seems it's working fine 8850 was the score but the advantage for hardware T&L will start testing on the w98 system all my boards just for fun )

Played with some of my boards - here are the results:

Duron 850 MHz
256 SDRAM
40 GB hdd
K7S5A - board

1. Ati Rage 128 - 2772
2. Matrox G400 DH - 3093
3. V3 2000 - AGP - 3954
4. V3 3000 - AGP - 4004
5. V3 3500 - AGP (US) - 4015

(looks like a system limitation - I will check V4 and V5 to be sure and then will move to another RIG)

Found some old benchmark screenshots from previous configs (I moved and gave away all the hardware, except the voodoos. They don't match the original posting rules, but since some posts already don't match them anymore, I thought it'd be OK to put them here.

I also have records of previous runs, but don't have screenshots for some of them, I'll put them here too.
