;) 3DMark05 |
3DMark05 is the latest installment in a long line of synthetic 3D graphics benchmarks, dating back to late 1998. 3DMark05 is a synthetic benchmark that requires a DirectX 9.0 compliant video card, with support for Pixel Shaders 2.0 or higher, to render all of the various modules that comprise the suite. To generate its final "score", 3DMark05 runs three different simulated game tests and uses each test's framerate in the final tabulation. Fillrate, Memory bandwidth, and compute performance especially all have a measurable impact on performance in this benchmark. We ran 3DMark05's default test (1,024 x 768) on all of the cards and configurations we tested, and have the overall results posted for you below. |
3DMark05 is extremely stressful on the video subsystem, so the scores you see here will be fairly close to the scores you'll see elsewhere, despite the different CPU's and different amounts of memory being used. The XFX GeForce 6600 DDR2 comes in ahead of the ATI Radeon X1300 Pro, but behind the higher priced ATI Radeon X700 Pro and 6600GT.
