The MAXtreme 7.00.03.00 plugin works with 3dsmax 8.0 but is not optimized for the latest release version of 3dsmax . All viewperf benchmark results were obtained with the 82.65 drivers, 3DMark06 results in WinXP32 were run using the NGOHQ18310 drivers (none of the earlier drivers enabled SLI in WinXP-32), WinXP-64 runs were done with the 82.65 drivers.

Benchmark Results at One Glance

Benchmark results at one glance. Top to bottom within each graph: better to lower performance. The thumbnails are not clickable, for details please consult the following pages.

Shown are the results for different system configurations and different CPU speeds on the outcome of viewperf 8.1, including the results obtained with running in a WoW (32-bit application in WinXP-64). Additional benchmarks include the standard graphics benchmarks from 3dsmax, the Phoenix sequence of an animation of an exploding stick of wood running in Maya and Springmark.
