3DMark 2000 - Something I only now can see

Dyre Straits · Nov 2, 2003, 05:28 PM

After all the many times I've run 3DMark 2000 (yes, 2000, not the newer 2002 or 2003) I only now -- after installing the 9600 Pro -- see something I've never seen before:

In the helicopter sequence, I've always been under the impression that the helicopter follows a somewhat "S" pattern. However, I now see that the helicopter actually follows more of a "J" pattern...returning to the point of its origin. Makes me wonder how many other things I've missed over the years.

I have never even run it. Is it still arround for download?
It probally only runs on directX 8 wont it. Or hell what was out way back then. Man thats like almost an antique in PC years. Was there even such thing as directX Back then?

3DMark 2000 is said to still be available for download from FutureMark. Back then it was still MadOnion.

Check here: http://www.futuremark.com/products/

But, if you can't find it, I can likely upload it to an FTP server where it can be downloaded.

This bench was for DX7 and runs very nice.

In fact, I STILL have 3DMark 99.

That one was DX 6.1 specific, I think. I'll have to check it out again.

I tried to install 3dmark 99 and it aborted.told me to install DX 6 and try again

oh by the way what was your score on 3dmark2000 .min was lower than 3dmark 2001.

cpu test was cool though it went so fast i almost didnt see it.
