Benchmark: Futuremark Test
3DMark 03 (v3.4.0) was used as one of our DX9 test. 3DMark 03 attempted to build on what was started 3DMark 01, but due to controversy concerning “driver optimizations”, it seams to have slipped some in the eyes of many. This isn't to say that 3DMark 03 isn't a popular benchmark, because it is extremely popular.

3DMark 01 SE was one of (if not the) the most popular DX8 test. Even though it was not originally designed for DX9 benchmarking, it is still commonly used today. Again, this test will be preformed using DX9.0.

PCMark 04 is a "application-based benchmark" from the same people that brought us the 3DMark utilities. As you'll see, the video drivers don't make much of a difference in this benchmark, however since it is a program from Futuremark, I wanted to make sure I at least tested with their "approved drivers" as I did with 3DMark01/03.
