OMG, we have a new challenge! :cool: Thank you, Sir!

Questions:
1. Even the GeForce Titans are allowed? I haven't done 3DMark2001SE or Aquamark with them, but they're a beast!
2. The same OS has to be used too? I know that the wPrime 1024M likes the WinXP, but the 3DMark2001SE and Aquamark may like the Win7 better (not sure as I haven't tried yet)

Sounds good, my friend. Typo in the title though. Should be Challenge. 😉

3DMark2001SE and Aquamark favor Win XP too. 😉

If they have it then let them use it. The Nature cap will make the playing field a little more even. But there will never be parity or a perfect handicap. Such is benching.

HiVizMan,
Thanks for putting on these challenges, My weakest benching is 2d so this is just what I needed.
I just made a trial run of 2001 and scored 700+ in nature, and increasing gpu frequency only lowered the score, I will have to search the internet to get some ideas on what to do as 1200 looks a long way off.
Which background do we use?

Back ground will be uploaded on the last day of April 😄

There are many many tricks to 2001 indeed. And I will send you a guide as you will compete here for sure.

Regards

He-he, I did install the 3DMark2001SE on my present system and did some readings too... - man, this is a very fun benchmark! Why nobody mentioned it to me before?! 😄

I did manage to get a 823 nature score on Win7 64-bit - but that's way below the 1200 cap we have in this challenge... so, there is plenty of room to improvement! :cool:

Also, my AquaMark3 score needs to be improved...

BTW, I observed that there will be no prizes... - come on, HiVizMan, you know that the biggest prize for everyone will be the score improvements! 🙂 Oh, and not talking about the fun we're gonna have! :cool:
