Yeah its very cool indeed. I found it a couple of days ago.A nice benchmark for such a small file. I cant remember what my 1024x768 32bit score was off hand though. The X-Isle demo is pretty nice as well which can be found at demonews.com

 

[Taz4158]

I scored a 4231 in it.

5264 @ 1024x768 VT Geforce3 at stock speed and Tbird 1.33@1450 in W2K.

I assume that's 32 bit? Getting my Geforce 3 later on today.

 

[nitrousninja]

yup 32bit.

well I tested it with my kyro 2 ..
and it was gourgeous never drop bellow 25 fps!!!
all tests 1024x768x32 duron 900 windows 2000

what ?
only 1850 XSMARKS ???
lol

with geforce 2 MX on scene 4 it gets 13 fps minimum but a maximum of 112 so 2000 score ?

on scene 4 with kyro 2 only gets 52 maximum but the lower score is 30 fps (so it remains allways fluid, minimum is allmoust 3 times geforce mx in scene 4)
and 1279 score ?
lol

a great benchmark but delivers stupid conclusions ...

nevertheless these benchmark can give some clues to kyro 2 performance...
even with lower average fps it can deliver more playability.


all the benchmarks out there should rethink the way they judge the performance of a 3d card.

for me if the minimum is higher than 25 fps. then that card should deserve a better score than a stupifying 300 fps average and 10 fps minimum...
duh !!!

by the way I runned this test only one time.. maybe I could get better results if I run a second time..

Most of the benchmarks are stupid.

It really doesn't tell you anything except what the creators think about other hardware.

with windows 98 I got 2099 - XSMARKS with my kyro 2 duron 900

a lttle better on the maximum fps achieved...
but still I think that windows 2000 give me better results only one time it drops to 25 fps, with windows 98 it got 25 fps minimum 2 times...
in 1280x1024x32 I get similar results (on the minimum fps achieved) so I guess that a better cpu than mine could even get better results with kyro 2...
