3dmark possibilities?

I think we should have a section for 3dmark scores....if people start to take the tests, we can get an idea of how well their PCs are performing for gaming....I'm sure it'll determine if they can play pes3 successfully or not.

Go to www.futuremark.com and download and use 3dmark01.

So like for example, a Radeon 9500 pro will probably average between 7,000-9,000 3dmarks, a 9700 like what I have pushes into the 10,000 mark (I am losing a thousand due to bad motherboard and no ddr memory.) But basically this tells me that...I will play pretty much any game around out there...cos each test gives you the FPS brakedown, on the test setup you have chosen, eg AA/AF 2X 4X 6X, high detail, low detail etc.

I think this is the best way to test your overall setup for gaming....So i dunno, if you wanna make it a sticky or something, or just post scores up here or somethin. (It's Usually what we do in PC hardware forums)

we can do that if we get a few people to start doing thing but I will NOT offer ANY SUPPORT for getting 3D Mark to run on anyones system.

Also, since we play games that are out now, we should run 3dmark03...which tests current hardware for current games. 3dmark01 is not an adequate test for current hardware.

Correct CTRL ALT DEL.. t1000 ur right I think an idea of performances of peoples machines would help determine the problems they are having.... we will need to use the latest 3dmark... I wont support that either though.....

3Dmark03 is not a good test for the majority of gamers though. That is really for the higher end, who have cards like geforce FX5600+ and Radeon 9500pro+ cards. Seeing as though alot of people out there, have sub direct x 9 cards....the tests on 3dmark 03 wouldnt really work. Most games are still to the level that we see in 3dmark01....because 3dmark01 was ahead of its time anyway....and the tests on high res with all settings up will strain alot of machines out there anyways. I have 75% of people won't even be able to get 3dmark 03 started as it is really concentrated on the high end.

majority of gamers should get that test to run well to expect good game performance.
