Thumbs up

AMD N-Bench

The long awaited AMD Ninja-Bench.. Until now, this thing has been near to impossible to get your hands on..
Grab it over here FAST While you can, from rare Korean Website:


Note: The file is big at 40.72MB , but it is worth to get. You just cannot get it fron anywhere.

1) AMD Ninja-Bench Server 1

OR

2) AMD Ninja-Bench Server 2

Basically its the same sorta thing as 3DMark.. but made by AMD. In no way does this favour AMD chips. It has full 3DNow, etc. ,MMX, and SSE etc. support. As well, these features can be disabled if you want to test pure CPU balls... 8] You can compare it with 3DMark

Get it while there is still on the web. No, that's not me behind the CD. This is taken from Korean website, so it must be a cool Korean there.

It'll be interesting to see how many hits this thread gets - I posted about it in the Graphics section...

It would seem that people look/post in this section first.
Just an observation...

Ozzie, I think this program is cool to compare it with 3DMark.

This is from the readme:

[ Using the N-Bench Installer ]
Please read the "Software License Agreement" at the end of this file before
using the N-Bench installer.

[ About N-Bench ]
N-Bench is a CPU Benchmark program that is capable of displaying 3D graphics.
It consists of a "Demo mode" that plays back beautiful 3DCG movies and a
"Benchmark mode" that measures CPU performance. Read this file carefully
before using N-Bench.

[ N-Bench Working Environment ]
Computer equipped with the 700MHz AMD Duron(TM) processor
or 700MHz Intel(R) Pentium(R) III processor or greater
Microsoft(R) Windows(R) 98 (including the Second Edition)
Microsoft Windows Me
Microsoft DirectX(R) 7.0 or later
128MB RAM or more
100MB of hard disk space or more
DirectX 7.0-compatible video card with 3D accelerator function with 32MB VRAM
DirectX 7.0-compatible sound card

[ Recommended Environment ]
The 800 Mhz AMD Athlon(TM) processor or greater
128MB RAM
Microsoft DirectX 8.0 or later
nVIDIA "GeForce2 MX" GPU with 32 MB VRAM
Color Display with 1280*1024 pixels.
Creative Technology Ltd. "Sound Blaster Live!"

[ N-Bench Installation Instructions ]
Load the N-Bench CD-ROM into your computer and click the "Install" button
that appears on the Setup screen. This will start the Setup program.
Follow the instructions on the screen to install the N-Bench software.

[ Uninstalling N-Bench ]
To uninstall N-Bench, execute the installation program again using
the N-Bench CD-ROM. If you do not have the CD-ROM, N-Bench can be
uninstalled according to the following procedure.
(1) Click the "Start" button and display the "Settings".
Then click "Control Panel".
(2) Double-click the "Add or Delete Application" icon.
(3) Click "N-Bench" in the "Add or Delete" tab list box that appears in
the "Add or Delete Application Property" dialog box.
Then click "Add or Delete".
(4) Check the message in the "File Deletion Confirmation" dialog box and
then click "OK".
* The uninstall sequence will commence. Please wait until the uninstall
sequence is completed.
(5) Click "OK".

[ Starting N-Bench ]
Once installed, N-Bench can be started by selecting "N-Bench" in the
N-Bench Folder that appears in the Start menu. To obtain an accurate
measurement of CPU performance, quit all other open applications. If your
computer is connected to a network, turn off the file sharing function.
It's a good idea to reboot your computer before starting N-Bench.
The N-Bench CD-ROM is not required to run the software.

[ About the N-Bench Functions ]
For information regarding the N-Bench functions and settings, go to the
Help menu. This menu can be displayed by clicking on the "Help" button in the
N-Bench Main Panel.

Would anyone with some server space be able to place that for us to ftp from a faster connection?
I don't know if that site is swamped but I can't hang around for an hour while it downloads! I can only get about 12 k/s and my DSL isn't THAT slow, I should be able to hit 10X that speed.

If not I'll try again inthe morning...

Cool

If you like Japanese 3D Cartoon, especially the space & warrior 3D cartoon, then this is a very cool 3D benchmark. It is from AMD Japan
