3D Rendering Performance - 3dsmax R5

When the Athlon was first released over 3 years ago, 3D Studio MAX was a strong point of its performance. The Athlon's raw FPU performance was right up 3dsmax's ally and thus it put Intel's competing solutions (at the time, the Pentium III) to shame. Things have changed a bit, the latest version of 3ds max (R5) does have some Pentium 4 optimizations that keep things quite competitive between the Athlon XP and the Pentium 4.

    i love how you see amd chips compared directly to intel ones which cost 8 times as much - and then they say that the intel 'kicked arse' - also optimised code compared to unoptimised (ala sandra)

    i think ill write a review 'dual AMD 3200+ = intel killer - kicks the p3-1000 arse' just wait till you see how extended 3dnow+ is going whomp intels mmx1 hehehe

    #11... the review on the 3.0C used PC800 RDRAM's and this one uses DDR400. That's one difference... they may have also used slightly different options for testing since they seem to customize the benchmark.

    Read Tomsharware review and xbitlabs and youll see how the p4 flies above those athlons

    I think INTEL and their last line of Pentium 4 really kick AMD athlon ass ... and very hard ...

    Hello,
    I was wondering if any of you guys knows how to overclock the P4 2.8GHz on a I875PBZ MOBO
    Why the bios under the same board are so limited?
    Can the Intel MOBO 875PBZ upgrade my CPU?

    Why is there such a large difference in the UT2003 benchmark results between this review and that of the P4 3.0C? Hmm...

    Pictures does not work on XP using IE either.

    Another web site did testing on the same two chips and the p4 came out on top.If you want to see it go to tomshardware and read for yourselves.

    What really buggers me off is that I can't see any of the attached images in this article as I am using Opera 7.11 on a linux box. Please make your site all OS- and browser-compatible. (At least to some extent anyway). Not everyone uses IE and Windows.
