3ds max 6
For our 3ds max test, we ran the SPECapc benchmark for 3ds max and reported only the rendering composite score, as well as its components.Despite the strong showing by the Athlon 64 X2 4400+, it isn't able to outperform the Pentium Extreme Edition 840, but it comes very close. The price difference alone is enough to give the X2 4400+ our nod, but AMD's performance here is nothing short of impressive.

I find it strange why AMD did not release <2.2GHz A64 X2s? Maybe due to manufacturing issues?LX - Thursday, April 21, 2005 - link
How will the bandwidth limited X2 be affected by overclocking?Chunkee - Thursday, April 21, 2005 - link
Nicely done. The price will be a factor as usual. Does the performance gain justify the cost? For the enthusiast yes, but I will wait a bit. My 754 setup with a raptor still rocks plenty enough for me. The technology improvements are great. I will always be a big AMD Fan.jC
