Motocross Madness - Direct3D Performance

Motocross Madness - Direct3D Performance
Riva TNT @ 800x600
Pentium 3 - 560 56.8 fps
Pentium 3 - 500 53.4 fps

While not showing the dramatic difference as evidenced in Half Life, Motocross Madness also had its share of speed boosts by the high clock rate of the Pentium IIIs. Especially while overclocked, the P3 chips were able to take the top scores from the previous champ, the Celeron 550.

 Quick Facts
Valve has always been very good about supporting new and exciting hardware features (such as A3D 2.0 and EAX). Go bug them about KNI and see what comes out of it. At the very least it might get implemented into Team Fortress 2!
