I need a listing of benchmark tools like 3dMark2001SE. Thankx!

Can you guys be so kind as to tell me what each benchmark tool tests for and what are good scores for each one?
Thank you so much.

P.S. what is the difference between 3dMark 2001 and 2003?

Um, well, they test overall system speed (ram, fsb, cpu, gpu). The difference between them is basically 3dmark2003 stresses a system more due to prettier gfx

Good scores? Well, looking at your sig, i'd say a good score for that setup would be in the region of 10,000 on 3dmark2001SE, depending on how much 1066 rambus you have

My wife's 1.5ghz, radeon 9700, 1gb PC2700 ram, k7s5a system achieves 10,300.

I've heard that Prime95 is good for testing out CPU, chipset, and RAM reliability. I just ran it for four hours on my ThinkPad and everything is stable.

http://mersenne.org is where you can find this program. It calculates Meresenne primes.

So, you want someone to list all the possible "good" scores for the zillion system combinations out there? Good one!

Check out Futuremark's webpage for a description of the programs.

3DMark test for everything?

 

[Malladine]

All the elements of your system which I mentioned (and others I did not) impact, to varying degrees, your system's ability to process the data required to display 3d graphics. So yes, it "test for everything."

whatabout pcmark 2002?
what does that test then?

 

[SouljaAC]

hmm?
