3DMark 99 Max Need Some OS Older Than XP?

DirectX 6

In the .rar you can find a .dll file. Just copy that one into the folder of 3DMark99

Nice Contest Massman, love the 99 Max and 2000 :D !!

* Just asking, are you going to put 3DMark 99 Max and 3DMark 2000 ranking on the Bot as well? *

Can't get 99max to work on XP. DX6.1 is for Windows 98. Got me a copy of 98, but just noticed nVidia doesn't have any 98 drivers...

Yea, didn't work.

EDIT: Tried x86 and x64 XP. Copied the _Setup.dll to 99max folder. Not working

I have also this situation, 3D Mark is not working I change place this .dll file

_Setup.dll?

In the .rar download file, you find a folder to install (3Dmark99max) and a .dll (ddraw.dll). First install, then copy ddraw.dll into installation folder.

HWBOT link: http://91.121.148.119/downloads/legacy_benchmarks/3DMark99max_fix.rar

Like You say ; in rar We have 3d99 install folder and ddraw.dll. I install mark, then copy/paste .dll and mark is not work.

Works fine here, tested on my laptop (thinkpad x40).

just tried 3D99 in Win7 compatability mode , it gives an error somthing simular too "3D Mark requires a DX6 compatable 3D accellorater" . Using 9800gt and applied the DDraw.dll fix.

3D2000 worked right away but didnt run test 15, still gave a score though!

I Just run the GT's and CPU test to got a result in both benchmarks (99 and 00).

The 3dmark00 result on FX5200 was horrible, guys with PIII and GF2 manage to get a similar score, look this:

http://discussions.hardwarecentral.com/showpost.php?p=618583&postcount=97

My result:

Maybe the problem is OS will try with Win 2000 later...

hum, when I clic show details, I get an error, and when I clic ''Online resultbrowser'' too. Damn why can't we submite online scores ?

EDIT : Alienware M17X benched @ stock

do i need to have the same setup for all 3 stages, or are there individual setups possible ? ( different vga/cpu etc. per stage)

So I finally got 3Dmark99 to work in XP, but it's not working right.

3Dmark2000 is acting wierd in XP to. Scoring great in W7, but in XP the entire test runs in about 30 secs and gives me this score.

I guess this is what happens when you drop support for your old products. Don't think I'm going to play this one. Just to much trouble trying to get the benches to run properly.

For 3DMark99, make sure you have Vsync disabled in the drivers.

No idea why it's working so problematic on your system ... with the 655K / GTX480 setup here, it was just install 'n' play.

You can do whatever you like

Thanks for this nice event! I'll give it a shot next weekend!

HWBOT'S GREATEST EVER EVENT!

hey massman your not just an a$$hole after all

Seems that there is a lot of participants. Cool

Hello to all,

it doesn´t work with Vista on my Acer Notebook, I will test it on my Benchsystem with XP. Everyone knows a solution for the Problem with Vista/W7?

good benchs....

Run as admin mode or compatibility mode?

3DMark 99 Max also works under Vista , Copy dxgkrnl.sys from win/system32 to the directory of 3DM99 and run in compatibility mode (win98). Works without problems.

It doesn´t work so by me, it comes the Errorcode 0xc0000142. I dont find something, i look later.

good luck

and it doesn´t work as Admin and in no compatibility Mode...

with the 3DM99 fix i get the same error , but with the dxgkrnl.sys from Vista it runs!

Hi, 3DMark 99 @ i7 980 5,2 GHz / 8800 Ultra = 75694 3D Marks

Hi:)

Why can't i disable these tests? It tells me that i need to get the pro version.

Thanks.

stealth

...

because you need pro version?

because you need pro version?

I've seen you already got it, where from can i get pro version?

stealth

You need a pro serial.

It's same like Vantage

Yep, but where we can find a serial, there is no more 3DM99 or 2000 on FM store

EDIT : Many thx to 1Day and jmke

google might help you

When will we see the first results with ln2?

I'll refill my dewar soon and make a run for some good scores.

Great competition, sadly not single GPU though.

I don't think mult-gpu will make any difference here, haha

Yeah Pieter only pure Tweaking/CPU Powa.

Yes well an extra GPU helps 01, but it's not a real problem I suppose.

Tweaked my 01 some more and took the lead, if I only could get 2000 to work.

Bring on the ln2 now so we can start having really fun.

Turrican took the lead (FTW)

Hi:)

Guys i have a problem, tried yesterday to run these old benchmarks but... my set-up...

Rampage Extreme

E8500 under SS

Geforce 8800GTS (G92)

Cellshock 1800MHz D9GTR

I did a fresh windows install first, intalled drivers and push the CPU to 4.7GHz (VGA at defaults) to do some tests. Tried 3D Mark 99 Μax first, when i try to start the bench i get a blue screen (see link), http://www.hwbox.gr/attachments/intel-boards/4906d1288342809-classified-e762-phoenix-award-bios-settings-dscn1818.jpg , next

tried 3D Mark 2000 and 3D Mark 01 with the same results, then i revert everything to defaults but... blue screen again. Tried different version VGA drivers (169.21, 175.16 e.t.c.) but every time i try to run any of these old benches i get a blue screen no matter if the system it's clocked or not.

While the machine doesn't run any of these old benches, not even at default settings, at the same time it runs sucessfully 3DMark 03 and 3DMark 06 at 4.75GHz with the VGA clock it to 800/1200 (see link). http://www.hwbox.gr/attachments/intel-boards/4907d1288342862-classified-e762-phoenix-award-bios-settings-xoris-titlo.jpg

Has anyone seen something like this before? What can cause the problem and how to fix it?

Thanks a lot.

According to you blue screen pic, it's the driver. But as you tried other drivers, I don't know...

I'm surprised 99 and 00 don't scale much more with high-end cpu. Especially 2k!

2001, our most beloved benchmark, is the only one that scales so dramatically with C2D

yeah, pretty crappy.

01 was the first benchmark from futuremark which scaled very nice with increased clock.

Got the marks running. 99 is doing as it should, but 2000 gives me some headaches!

Just get around 25% of the score i should have.

With 99 disable v-sync did it for me. Dunno, i am just missing something....

this competition is a great idea =)

i like nostalgic stuff like that^^

but i´d like it more with nostalgic hardware

whats about a competition for the lowest score with graphic cards with dx6.1 or higher? ^^

My smal test....

3DMark99 76751 points

3DMark2000 63121 points

3DMark2001 101391 points

more coming soon

greeting Sven

nice sven

THX Karl

is the buggy run

wenn ich mit dem E8600 über 5300Mhz geh kommt dieser Fehler was hat das zu bedeuten, Heli geht komplett und der 1 CPU test!

Gruß Sven

Futuremark send me some pretty cool gear to give away as prize for the competition. I'll update you once I have my camera back

Great news!

always nice to have lucky draws in competitions!

Exactly the same problem here! no matter how many different drivers i have used,

in 99 i have 67000 and

in 00 i have 5000

So, how to solve that? Anyone?

Try Vista 32. it worked

but i suspect than in XP it will be faster like 2001

Just a little question, I'm trying to OC at max my GPU but sometimes this goes freeze in the test, does that means that I need more voltage? or the settings aren't correct.

yeah that, or better cooling.

How can I know the max voltage for the GPU?

@Turrinca: You are the lord of overclock, Can you check my other thread please? http://hwbot.org/forum/showthread.php?t=13462

I had low score in 3DMark 99 to 3Dmark 2001. Do you suggest run it on XP?

Just disable the V-Sync, and you will have the real score

You decided to keep it?

Gonna jump in this now I have some time to play.

well, just draw it

I'll make pictures this weekend. Prizes consist of backpack, t-shirts, boxed old-skool benchmarks etc.

A true geek prizefest, in other words

3DMARK2001 link is broken

I can't submit a 3Dmark 2000 score! "A valid futuremark compare url is required..."

Does anyone have a similar problem?

How can i solve this?

brgds

Admins, can you please check this issue, thanks.

Brgds

Can you try again?

Thanks Massman, now everything works great!

massman, are you going to keep 99 kai 2000 into database after the competition? i mean can we continue submitting afterwards?

yes, but without points of course.

Great! thanks. cups are also a good reward

you wanna fight with me zoro ?

yes, but without points of course.

to bad.... !

Add it, i would say!

Damn, i can't install the 3DMark99Max. :< It just... Does nothing. Changing the compability mode doesn't do anything.
