Full screen version

3DMark is the most famous "computer hardware tester" around the world. Its main purpose is to test your computer's tendency to run games and high detailed graphical videos.

Futurenark (the creators of 3DMark) seems to have programmed quite much of the 2005 verion of 3Dmark (a.k.a. 3DMark05). They have even let out a screenshot of a demo, that will be used to test the graphic card and the rest of the computer of course. From the picture it seems that even the newest and best graphic cards in the market will work their arses off to manage to run the demo. The old graphic cards have no chance to run the demo at all.

Note:
You can even post your score of earlier versions of 3Dmark in this post. Having a link with the desciption of the computer and score result would be cool too Wink

I tested my computer with 3dMark03 almost a year ago, and I was already stunned back then how amazing those animation were. However, I havent seen many games with graphics and animations like that.

Anyways, even if you get a low score with 3dMark, don't worry. It doesn't matter if your friend can play nethack with a faster comp than yours Razz

... and gaming isn't important at all. Smile

Plus... check out the gun! Isnt it too cool? The crew disigning 3Dmark05 named that gun "big mama". The name is written on the gun as well.

It seems so heavy !!

Yup, I could never design anything like that. Plus I'm horrible at 3d.

Well, I dont think its one person who designed that beast! It most probably is a whole community of designers, and secondly they are professionals. Thats what they earn their living from, so they have to be good.
