Is this benchmark score right?

[dquan97]

I went to Maximum PC's website, where they have a "video card tester." Since I have recently upgraded to a FX 5200, I thought my scores would be up there. pic

Is this truthful? How did you do?

 

[Jgtdragon]

Is that an online test? If so, got a link?

Bottom left side!

The test says that if I upgrade my box to a Radeon 9800 Pro, I'll gain 368%.

 

[Luagsch]

Performance Analysis is based on a dynamic database of over 5 million benchmark results obtained through submissions from 3DMark2001SE

so basicly they look what gfx-card you have and than compare the "standard-performance" of your card with the "standard-performance" of other cards on the basis of the results they have in their database.

nothing special really...

 

[Jgtdragon]

Looks alright to me.
My score.

 

[Murphyrulez]

I just ran mine, can't host a pic but the 9700 Pro is 1934% better than mine. The Kyro II is 172%...

This computer I am on at work sucks. A Dell Optiplex...

I wouldn't think of the FX5200 as an upgrade.

It's a Powercolor Radeon 9700 non-pro

I have a Ti4400, AXP 1900+. Radeon 9700 is only 106% as fast? Ti4600 is only 102% as fast?

9700 Pro is @ 80% for me (9800 Pro)

Uh wth! I have a 9800np and this thing says a GF Ti 500 will improve performance by 12% .

Bull Shite

LMFAO!

 

[hjo3]

Woohoo, 9800 Pro pwnage!

 

[moonshinemadness]

My radeon 9700 Pro performs 10% faster than their radeon 9700 Pro

I as well can not host a pic. But I will relay what my test results were. (BTW, why did the video card tester check my Drives? )

nVidia Geforce FX 5900 Ultra: 100% <- mine

ATI Radeon 9700 PRO 93%

NVIDIA GeForce4 Ti 4600 89%

NVIDIA GeForce4 Ti 4400 87%

NVIDIA GeForce4 Ti 4200 84%

NVIDIA GeForce3 Ti 500 76%

ATI Radeon 8500 128MB 75%

ATI Radeon 9000 PRO 68%

NVIDIA GeForce3 67%

NVIDIA GeForce3 Ti 200 66%

Matrox Parhelia 62%

SiS Xabre series 58%

NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 460 56%

NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 440 49%

ATI Radeon 7500 46%

STMicro KYRO II 30%

After all the "bad press" I have heard about the 5900, I would like to think this is right..... But I really cannot say for certain.

I'm at 100% equal to their 9700....I dont think they are actually testing anything...it was so quick.

That will explain why the a Ti500 destorys my video card .

 

[VIAN]

i dont think the tests are that acurrate, the 9700 pro is almost twice as fast as the ti 4600.

Yeah it isn't really accurate. Since they're taking 3dmark01 scores, all they're looking at is 10x7 res with no aa/af. In that situation, a 9700 pro is pretty close to a ti4600. But once you turn up res and aa/af, the story changes.

For me a 9700 pro will only be a 10% increase over my ti4200. Anyway, I wouldn't put much stock in this test.

 

[bunnyfubbles]

It's a very general test, I think it just checks your card and drivers and gpu/ram speeds and perhaps some of your other system specs and then compares them to "standards" and then rates it from there.

It's showing my 64MB Radeon 8500 100% on par with a GF3 Ti 500 and a 128MB Radeon 8500... And don't forget this is just a very general test, this doesn't mean my 8500 is only 12% lower in all applications vs the 9700 Pro, I'm sure it doesn't consider high resolutions and AA/AF settings, at least not much at all because the 9700 Pro in those situations is something like up to 250% vs a GF4 4600 in some cases.

not even gonna bother... test will only run in IE >_<

You might subject your virgin hard drive to cookies. I agree.

 

[sodcha0s]

My 9500pro is on par with their 9700pro....

I don't think this site really benches anything. I got the same exact result twice, even though once I did it at stock speeds and once I did it Overclocked. I think this just bassicly finds out what Video card you have, and then just gives you the performance according to how it SHOULD perform in comparison to other cards.

All percentages are pretty much the same for all cards of the same make. I think you're better of DL'ing and using either Aquamark 3 or 3dmark03.

Personally I prefer auqamark because it lets you put your results on their site for free, whereas you have to buy futuremark's 3dmark03 to post it.

Here's my aquamark score
