Robert,
Both test are using a display: with the QBICDEMO we use a Matrox Impression
1024 and for BIRDWALK, 3ds use the VGA320x200 also in the same board. We also
tried the NULL display option in the BIRDWALK render BUT see no difference
between results (in the Compaq 5/60M). However, we notice a sightly difference
in the QBICDEMO results between the same render repeated two times (one
inmediatly after the other): one more second in the second render.
Regarding the last part of your message, I can't understand it very well.
What's your time for QBICDEMO? 1:16 or 2:24?
I think that PC makers and Intel have problems with the 66MHz version of the
chip. I say that because DELL and COMPAQ refuse to send us the 66MHz versions
of their respective machines. The same with HP. Any machine from IBM (they have
promised us that one will arrive soon). We didn't notice any heat problems with
the 60MHz versions of the chip (at last, after 48 hours of continuos running,
they didn't burn out 🙂 However, some people said that the tripled clocked
version of the 486 will outperform the Pentium at 60MHz and will be more
cheaper. We are also waiting for the EISA AXP from DEC, although we don't have
3ds for this platform 🙁
