DirectX 7 Games: 3D Mark 2000
The 3D Mark 2000 determines DirectX 7's Direct3D performance under Windows XP. The Athlon XP 2100+ even outstrips, albeit marginally, the Intel Pentium 4/2400 with Rambus memory. All Pentium 4 CPUs at an FSB clock speed of 133 MHz and 533 MHz Rambus memory that are not yet available on the market were marked with a blue-and-black bar and are there only for reference purposes.

The 3D Mark 2001 determines DirectX 8's Direct3D performance under Windows XP.

All Pentium 4 CPUs at an FSB clock speed of 133 MHz and 533 MHz Rambus memory that are not yet available on the market were marked with a blue-and-black bar and are there only for reference purposes.
