Remember 3DMark2001? GeForce 3?

[JimmiG]

I thought this was kind of funny. Decided to run 3DMark 2001 on my Lamina/Linx 8-inch Windows 10 tablet (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Linx-810-8-Inch-Tablet-Bluetooth/dp/B01272MMQI)

I remember when I built my GeForce 3-based system with an Athlon XP back in the early 00's. It was loud as a vacuum cleaner, came in a heavy full-tower case and cost me all the money I had as a school kid. Now a small disposable €100 tablet can match it. Oh, and I installed it on a tiny, 32GB MicroSD card that cost a fraction of what you'd pay for an IBM Deathstar 30GB back in the day.

This brings back memories It's not apples to apples, but in my ResultBrowser database I found an Athlon XP system of mine with a Geforce 2 Ultra. Things have definitely come a long way...

I still have a Geforce 256DDR from 1999. Here's Anand's review from then:

those were the days.....we would argue over GeForce vs Radeon....or Intel vs AMD

These days, we argue over Apple vs Google/Samsung/LG.....

My passively cooled GeForce 6600 is still running great serving in my custom HTPC built in 2007!!! I like to say Apple copied my design because it is slicker and quieter then those silver Mac Pros with holes.

oh, i want to try this;
i ran 3DMark2006 on my E6600 and 8800GTS and got a score of 7k, will try again tonight with a 4650k and 770.

Yeah? Well back in my day, Cray XMP was the shit! Everyone wanted time on this thing. And now my quadcore phone has more processing power than it.

Still arguing over this.

I think I still have my GeForce 3, just cause shaders were the best thing ever to happen and it was awesome.

We now argue over Nvidia vs. AMD and Intel vs. AMD...

Not much to argue over the Intel vs AMD thing these days.

 

[DigDog]

derp; i was hoping that it would be freeware by now, but not, you still gotta pay $24.99 for 3DMark06.

still, demo at 1280x1024 got 40k points. CPU test finished in about 10 seconds.

 

[Techie14]

Yes I do remember my good old Geforce2 MX times

Yeah. Surely thats going to be a short argument?
