3DMark 2001 SE

Direct3D 8

A DirectX 8 benchmark on a Windows 98 driver written from scratch. It needs the DrawPrimitives2 interface, and its pixel shader tests need DDI 8 with pixel shader 1.1, which Velocity9x offers on the HD 4600 (0.34.0) and the Intel Gen3 chips (0.47.0).

Not a like-for-like comparison: machines and driver versions differ.

Known issues
