Intel Pentium III 933

In order to allow for comparison to previous CPUs, we refrained from switching to 5.xx Detonator drivers for this test, but this will be the last CPU test we use the now aging 3.xx drivers for gaming performance tests. The new 5.xx drivers, aside from enabling GeForce 2 GTS support, also improve performance by a small but noticeable (at least on graphs) for the AMD/VIA based platforms, which does change the standings a bit.

The only thing you need to draw from this chart is the relative performance of the 933, being slower than the 1GHz yet faster than the 866 (which you could guess without ever seeing a set of benchmarks) and should be somewhere in between the Athlon 900 and the 950 using the 5.xx drivers.

Here the test bed's GeForce DDR is fill rate limited which explains the relatively stagnant scores.
