Hmm, I forgot how far graphics had come since 2001 lol

I dunno how much win 7 64 bit is holding me back but here goes, only just cracked the 100k mark!

6700k @ 4.8ghz (4.5ghz cache)
2x8GB Kingston hyperX @ 3333mhz 14-17-17-32-500 1T
GTX Titan @ 1224mhz/1730mhz (only 1x, I tried with SLI enabled and lost 10k points!)

Found 2 fixes for some of us who are having issues getting the program to load in windows 10 and both ways are a pain the arse but work for me.

Fix 2. - Make a short cut to 3dmark on desktop, bring up task manager and click on the details tab. Run the short cut and as soon as 3dmark pops up in the details tab right click it fast and set affinity to core 0, if you do it fast enough 3dmark will load.

This is the only thing that worked for me and you do have to do it as soon as you launch the shortcut! took me a couple of attempts as the first few times I was too slow and changed the affinity but nothing happened even though the process was still running so I reset the process and fired it up again only for all cores to be ticked again, gotta be quick. :toast: am I right in thinking it should now start the next time I run it with the affinity already now set to cpu0?

It seems to reset after you exit 3dmark so you have to do the same trick again each time :(

Do you have the same problem then? strange how some people with Windows 10 don't seem to have any issues running it at all :confused: I'll throw a screenie up soon, just ran a quick one with all my default settings, not really happy with my scores so I'll do a bit of tweaking and see how I fare, from what I gather this loves higher clocks and possibly RAM as opposed to raw GPU power being as any GPU from the last 10 years will run it fine....

Edit, am sure there must be a registry hack/or script or something that you can apply to an .exe to make it run with certain prerequisites such as CPU affinity without having to do it manually every time you run it...

No kidding. My Athlon XP 2000 + Radeon 9000 rig scored at least double that back in 2002...
 
Also a lack of LN2.
Not really ln2 there's alot of tweaks to this benchmark plus xp is the best of for this bench

I got 99K and change with my single TXP. I noticed that the gpu never even clocked up to max, lol. TXP is too fast to run this bench.

980ti did the same
 
Never ran this 3dMark before....walked out of the room to get a glass of water and when I came back, I thought I was watching a bad remake of the Matrix. Anyway, here are my results:

It was during the era of the matrix and max payne with all that bullet time stuff. What a blast from the past lol.

Yep, netbooks aren't made for gaming I think it doesn't have a GPU, everything 3D is software rendered.
I even though it would not be able to run this.

Doesn't seem to be very reliable. No driver or any kind of tweaks.

Got some "new" hardware I figured I'd try it with this.

"Lowest score award" goes to this thing. :)

wait..PIII onboard? that's pretty epic.

Epic indeed, it was like watching a slideshow. The 32MB of (shared) VRAM was getting a workout. I think it even hit 2 fps at one point. :D

I have an Ati Rage Pro Turbo 8MB card too but it won't run 2001 in xp only win98 and I don't feel like installing that right now. :p
 
Anyone being able to start this with Ryzen 3600 and Windows 10 1909?

The affinity trick doesn't seem to work. :(
 
8700K with two 1080FE cards inside.
