3D Mark 2001 SE ProfessionalOf course we won't miss out on 3DMark 2001 - it is the latest installment in the popular 3DMark series. By combining DirectX®8 support with completely new graphics, it continues to provide benchmark results that empower you to make informed hardware assessments. As with all MadOnion.com internet-enabled benchmarks, 3DMark2001 has been created in cooperation with the major 3D accelerator and processor manufacturers to provide you with the best possible and most reliable set of diagnostic tools. Weve also included a completely new demo-mode, which demonstrates some of the latest innovations and advances that real-time 3D Graphics can offer!

The Second Edition is a major enhancement to its 3DMark® benchmark solution, originally launched in 1998.

We ran a standard tests in 32 bit resolutions ranging from 640x480 up to 1600x1200. Any videocard will be beaten severely with this recently revised benchmark of which the Second Edition Pro was used. It scales the CPU's nicely. As told on the previous page you'll notice the CPU at work in 640x480 the best as the videocard is not limited by a graphics card bottleneck.
