3D Gaming Performance - Monolith Shogo Tomsdemo

This benchmark is actually taken from my Voodoo3-review. It does not include all of the CPUs, so it can only be used as a comparison between Pentium III and K6-3.

Shogo is not yet 3DNow!-optimized, the beta version of the 3DNow!-renderer is too unstable and Shogo isn't SSE-optimized either. You can see that K6-3 doesn't score earth-shattering great, but it's not as far behind as in the 3DWinbench comparison with the TNT. 3Dfx has always been one of the few companies that really supported 3DNow! in their drivers and you can see that K6-3 is doing pretty ok with the Voodoo3.
