3DMark Scores through time...

Where possible, I've run 3DMark benchmarks on old and new graphics cards... this can be useful to see how much difference there is between your old card and new card, when upgrading a graphics card, or also when upgrading to a newer system. Scroll down and you'll find vintage graphics card scores as well.

  • 3DMark 2000: DirectX7
  • 3DMark 2001 SE: DirectX8.1
  • 3DMark 2003: DirectX9.0a
  • 3DMark 2005: DirectX9.0c - Last version that you could view results without the internet (v120, not v130 - v130 requires internet).

"Vintage" Graphics Cards

Travelling further back in time, here are some of the results for 3DMark 2000 and 99Max, and some much older vintage graphics cards:

3DMark (or other) 2001  2000  99Max  QuakeGL (Timedemo fps)
3dfx Voodoo3 3000 16mb AGP 528 1343 2484 86.3fps (**) 101.1fps (3dfx**)
GeForce 4 MX420 64mb AGP .. 1421 2481 71fps (VGA/16)
GeForce 2 MX/MX400 64mb AGP .. 1391 2514 70fps (VGA/16)
NVidia FX5200 128mb AGP .. 1438 2295 68.5fps (VGA/16), 23.8fps*
NVidia Vanta / Vanta LT 16mb AGP .. 1124 254739.9fps (VGA/16)

Indigo Drink - Energy that's a little bit fruity.

Apparently it's an energising Peach and Lemon fruit juice drink with Guarana, Ginseng and Caffiene, however, it seems to just taste purple and sugary to me. Maybe there's a hint, a slight tiny hint of Peach in there? Contains Water, Glucose Fructose Syrup, Fruit juices (10%), Sugar, Taurine, Flavourings (Guarana, Ginseng, Peach, Caffiene), Salt!. And 25mg or caffiene / 100mls! Although this is around the same as instant coffee , so presumably nothing to worry about.

Top 45 Best Things To Do With An Old PC *(26 + 19)

If you're looking for some great things to do with an old or spare PC, then this list is for you. I used to have a website, with lots of PC / computer content on there. One article was 26 things to do with an old 486 PC. Some may still be relevant, but I've decided to list some of the new, interesting, fun, and more modern ideas first. Remember the AMD Athlon XP? Things to do with an old(ish) PC: 1 - Run as an old PC/Dos/Windows Gaming Machine If you're hardcore you may be able to find a 3dfx Voodoo graphics card to play all the old school 3D games. You could use DOSBox to run a DOS emulator on your PC, or alternatively you can start from the beginning and install MS-DOS, and then Windows 95 on top. 2 - Run as an arcade machine / emulator - MAME etc Get MAME and you can emulate an old arcade machine to play original arcade games. Remember GoldenAxe on the Amiga and Atari ST? Well, image it a whole lot better, with the original arcade version. Here's a q...
