I still have my x58 classy and a 990x. since it has a PCI slot I could use it for older PCI cards and benching. would it be worth wile or would I be better off getting a PCI to PCIe adapter and something newer ? I"m guessing i could get a AGP to PCI adapter too but IDK if it would be worth wile.

You could, but I know you have better platforms to do that on rather than x58. |

Is there any penitently using a PCI to PCIe adapter on a newer system or is 3dmark and other 3d benches really just CPU bound as they say?

PCI is so restricted it isnt going to matter what you run them on.

Using X58 will skew results upward anytime there is a GPU feature which is software emulated by driver (PCI cards may get comical results because of this).

I"m talking about old card, and the likes of 3dmark 99-2001. Don't they have CPU tests that can push the score up higher?
Using X58 will skew results upward anytime there is a GPU feature which is software emulated by driver (PCI cards may get comical results because of this). I thought so. Would that be braking any rules?
PCI is so restricted it isnt going to matter what you run them on. Even for very old cards? like a tnt or ViRGE? |

If your score is in line with others based on what they ran vs what you got it's OK, it's when obviously skewed scores are seen it can be a problem for you. I'd not submit anything like that to keep yourself in the clear. |

I'd not submit anything like that to keep yourself in the clear. What if they are repeatable ? like 5 times in a row so its not a glitched run? |

Give it a shot and see what happens.

What is this skewed result shit running it on X58 1156 775 or AM3 aint going to make any difference the result is going to be the same the card is going to be the restriction.
Its bandwidth limited.
Austin go for it if your cards are good you might get some gold there although you aint modding them.
Only thing is to watch for is they dont blank out before a stage is finished and the score is highly elevated.
But that can happen on modern cards too.

Yea , it s very nice for old PCI cards , but if u using not a newmade ZX-C64 card you needed to short PCI 66 detection pin , for PCI-X slot run on 66mhz w non-pci-X card. But if you use not bandwidth-sensitive card like Riva TNT2 or Geforce MX i more like B75 w native PCI and very strong CPUs , 3dmark2001 cpu scaling are infinity , Aquamark too , so....
