(20 Jan 97 This has been updated for PPro at 233mhz - and now
for glide 2.1 installation info - with correct FXMEMMAP.VXD and fastvid
settings my scores have shot up (redone again! see bottom of text)

DMAN's 3DFX benchamarks using a Pentium Pro 200 (at 200mhz) and D3DTEST.EXE

Re the test results I posted previously Gary Tarolli of 3DFX
mentioned that I should have had NO UPDATES selected in the test 
so I redid them and here they are ....

The fill rate is much improved as is intersection.

(I still did it at different refresh rates just for comparison)

In the tables below the number is the refresh rate,
F = flat shading selected.
G=Gouraud shading selected.
G+B=Gouraud plus Bilinear Filtering selected.

The D3D test options set were as before:

Z buffer on
Pers. Correct on
Textures on
No Updates on

Shading model see below.  
Overdraw Order: front to back
Rasterisation Mono
Texture Filter: Point  (plus some with Bilinear filtereing as stated).

(note PowerVR users should try renaming the D3DTEST.EXE to something
else as the drivers for the PowerVR are rumoured to look for the
D3DTEST.EXE and then 'cheat' to produce higher figures than normal
using special techniques which are not usually used for games as these 
techniques produces picture tear.  Renaming the EXE means it can't 
cheat!)

As I have just re-clocked my Pentium Pro to 233mhz here are some quicky
tests at 60hz only (no time!)

Also after installing the new Glide Dev Kit (with Glide 2.1 and
updated .vxd's) my benchmark dropped dramatically.  However I learned
that the new drivers enabled USWC caching on PPro's (the job of fastvid
normally).   After much messing around I discovered I had to run fastvid
twice in my startup.
e.g.
fastvid 111 2 f8000000   (2D card Stealth 3D 2000)
fastvid 111 4 fe000000   (3dfx) 

this enables USWC for both 2D and 3D cards.

Getting nearer the 500 now.  Other people have got 538kpps
with even with Gouraud and Bilinear on.

16/1/97 update:
===============
Latest with correct FXMEMMAP.VXD on PPro200 at 233mhz:

he downloaded one just to make sure.  Now (at 60hz) on a PPro at 233mhz  I get:

Zbuffer, Persp.Correct, Textures, No Updates, Point filter all ON.

With the correct FXMEMMAP.VXD (6464 bytes) with fastvid NOT used for the 3D
card (2D card only) I now get:

Flat shading:
Fill Rate:        32.08  mpps
Polygon Throu.   614.27  kpps
Intersection:      5.26  kpps

Gouraud:
Fill Rate:        32.80  mpps
Polygon Throu.   574.00  kpps
Intersection:      5.29  kpps

Gouraud & Bilinear:
Fill Rate:        32.48  mpps
Polygon Throu.   573.28  kpps
Intersection:      5.28  kpps


Wow !
