      In my opinion, it is better to use a newer benchmark program.
      We need to find a bridge between old and new. Some software that can test GPUs from the 1990s, but also test GPUs from 2020s. So, yeah, 3dmark2000 ain't cutting it.
      Maybe 3dmark06, 3dmark09, 3dmark11? Something like that.

    The "Adventure Game" section with the fantasy look really holds a special place in my heart. I remember when I first played Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance and I kept thinking back to that specific demo and how those kinds of graphics had finally become real. I was so happy.
    There's a feeling that was very present back then when it came to 3d graphics, the feeling you were witnessing the birth of something amazing. Every new 3d card, every new console generation brought jaw dropping improvements over what was available previously. I think that feeling has been diminished quite a bit now a days. I like my PS5 and my Series X but the jump from the previous gen was nowhere near as shocking as when I went from my N64 to a Gamecube (or even when I saw Sonic on the Dreamcast).

      People still make crazy shit like this today all the time, and in even crazier ways than this. Just type in stuff like "CGI Animated crazy music video" and you'll see all kinds of dope shit. But I do get what you're saying and I completely agree that it is really cool and probably always will be. Because it was the first stuff, the most unbounded stuff, the most freethinking and experimental, but specifically all without fear of 'looking cringe' or played out or basic. People just took the limitations of the basic tools and techniques they had and they found ways to functionally multiply and exploit the power of those basic tools the same way that humans find ways to exploit anything if it's simple and fast enough to be juuuusst good enough.
      Now everyone expects insane levels of polish on everything even when it may not necessarily make sense to give it tons of polish

      Imo that the lack of creativity comes from the lack of "limits". I mean nowadays you can "easily" replicate a realistic scene without too much effort, and you are probably gonna recreate something you know (just because you know it). But back then you had limits and couldn't just create something truly realistic, so you had to think of something that is specifically not realistic i guess, so it doesn't look too off?
      Atleast that's my theory

    Было раньше время, даже бенчмарки были душевными. Как вспомню как гонялись за попугаями, программы которые показывали какие технологии твоя видяха поддерживает, гнали на десятки мегагерц процы и видяхи лишь бы вытащить пару дополнительных попугаев.

    I thought I had seen all of 3DMark's demos/benchmarks... But no, I see now that I have only downloaded 03, 06, 11, and Vantage. I haven't seen 99, 2000, or 2001.

    I would say fixed-pipeline graphics aged rather well. Before pixel shaders game designers were limited to work with real geometry only. Lightning were either dynamic per-vertex or static baked into textures. There were some special extension, but they didn't brake that coherent look of 3D graphics,.
    This is why these games look so well modded with real time ray tracing, because they were mostly designed with static baked lightning done with off-line ray tracing.
    Games from 2000-2002 still had that style, while having higher geometry detail and much better textures for 64 MB GPUs.
    Half-Life 2 was a special case, since it has good fallback compatibility with fixed-pipeline GPUs while having a lot of new features when Pixel shaders were available.

    Madonion. LOL I forgot that. Also, nVIDIA before NVIDIA. The developers even gave shout outs to 3DFX, S3 and Matrox. Aaaaw. I'm glad your card met the system requirements for the full test run too!

    Whenever I got a new GPU I would run all sorts of benchmarks and graphics demos to run on it. Benchmarks always have this weird life where first it's the most amazing stuff you've ever seen your computer do, a glimpse into what games will look like in the near future, and then two years later you look at it and go "How can it look both mediocre and have such bad fps? This would never fly in an actual game!"

    Sadly many of the old tech-demos are either lost or just not compatible with modern OS/hardware. Benchmarks are a bit better cause they usually did not rely on unstable pre-release apis that changed.

    But the benchmarks are limited to 60 FPS, which is distorted... On modern cards, the fans don't even turn on in 3DMark 2000 😁 But you couldn't really torture an old Riva TNT or Voodoo like that 😂

    Its a 32 bit program, so it can't see (use) above 4GB of RAM. This includes both CPU and GPU memory. I've have this on my modern system as well, but could never get it to run above 60FPS.

      @@horstmuller2031 Doesn't work. The same is happening in the video as well. Have look from 10:49. The benchmark cleverly shows the FPS in the helicopter's HUD at the bottom left side of the screen as the "Engine Torque". Its planted at 59/60 Nr / Nm.
