Scalable benchmark from Voodoo 1 on

[tynopik]

Is there a benchmark that can be run on the Voodoo and scales reasonably up to the current generation of graphics cards?

 

[BenSkywalker]

No.

Pretty much the only thing the Voodoo 1 could handle was raw fill, hell it couldn't even do 32 bit color while doing that. While raw fill still matters, it is only one factor among a ton of others and is very rarely a limiting one for most parts.

yeah, load up some pr0n and see how long it takes you to finish.

jk, I think BenSkywalker pretty much nailed it. But if you don't go so far back you might be able to look at some more recent video cards (early geforce / radeon cards and up from there) which you could run some early directx or opengl games on.

Well Voodoo II was able to run Quake 3 right? Does that game scale into the thousands of FPS lol

Quake 3 scales reasonably on current gen GPU's. But it doesn't use any advanced features, so its not exactly linear. But I used to play Quake 3 on my Voodoo II when it came out until I got a 1st gen Radeon 32MB card.

Q3 going to be CPU limited on GF6/x800 and later cards. 3DMark99/2000 probably be your best choice.
