3dmarks03 Out Now


Futuremarks
Get it now!

Short Story here.
Woke up this morning, logged on, and went to download 3dmarks03, and do you know what happened.
Every website (30+) that hosted the 171mb file was either maxed out from users, bandwidth, or just because they want there website to still work during the next couple of weeks.

I finally found one website after five minutes of searching, but its through the Edonkey file sharing program.

If anyone know of a good solid link could you please tell me. Thankyou.

I am gettting it from a german site that is giving me around 100 kb/s trnasfer rate. If you are having trouble getting it try one of the german sites.

The one I am using: http://www.badct.de/dlredir.php3?id=1174&type=file

I just ran 3D mark 2003, and holy shit that program works you system.

I had a frame rate under 10 fps for most of the tests and often under 5 fps.

With 3dmark 2001, I was getting scores around 8000, with 2003 I recieved just under 1400.

Ive heard that its not a good Idea to get untill your graphics driver supports it, if not you get really crappy performance

actually i think the only graphics card taht can supports DirectX 9 is the radeon 9700(i think), other then that its the geforce FX, which isnt out yet.
That sort of annoys me cause i really loved watching nature in 3Dmarks2001se, but since i have a geforce 4 ti4600, i cant watch it, i believe thats the case anyway, ill see tonight when i finally download it.
Other then that, i think the min requirements for 3dmarks03 is a p3 1gig, or a pcmarks score of 2500. I read people that have tryed it a less, and they got around 87.
So i would then belive that a scorce over 1000 is pretty damn good for a home pc.

All the Radeon 9xxx cards support directx9 things...
It's the way ATI's naming works, 7xxx for DX7 features, 8xxx for dx8... etc

Why wait to install dx9? I have no problems whit it
