Let's all stop using 3DMark2000 and compare Evolva benchmarks instead. :)

i'll post 'em tomorrow along with the rest of the benchmarks I can find

 

[iknowcomputers2]

how'd you run the test?

 

[Spoooon]

Rolling Demo (around 30 megs)

Deeko will come and say Evolva is just barely better than the 3DM2K crap. j/k

I've retail Evolva already, so how to run the timedemo?

 

[RoboTECH]

okay

see thread entitled "final 3dfx V5-5500 benchmarks" for my results

 

[RobsTV]

How stable is Evolva to overclocking?
I find that 3dmark 2000 works great as a stabilty testing tool when overclocking.
If Evolva is just a benchmark, then I'll stick with 3dmark 2000, unless someone can give me any reasons to download this on a 56k connection?

lol ahfung, I don't have Evolva so I couldn't tell ya 🙂 But anything's better than 3DMark so I'm all for it 🙂

RobsTV, 3DMark is a decent stability test, I'll give you that, but it is horrible as a benchmark. If you want a good all around benchmark, stability included, stick with good old Quake III.

If you want to check stability of overclocked video cards, pick SOF. At least it works for my GeForce DDR which looped flawlessly in 3DM2000 and Q3A at 155/350, but couldn't stand 30 mins in SOF until I clocked it to 150/350.
