doesn't work with win 7
cinquestelleMay 19, 2014
Pros
any, I can't even open it
Cons
it looks for 128 MB free RAM, and I've 16 GB!
Summary
It's a waste of time, don't download it. It was good, maybe.
a must have
crazyaaron1984March 14, 2010
Pros
great to use to benchmark your video card performance and compare it to others
Cons
running the tests takes about 6 to 8 minutes... but not a big deal. just something you shouldnt run if you dont have a few minutes to spare
Summary
a must have for checking your video card performance
Excellent graphics benchmarking program
Jacky TarOctober 21, 2006
Pros
Simple, easy-to-use interface and attractive presentation. Gives the graphics system a thorough workout.
Cons
It would be helpful to have some basic memory and CPU tests included, and please find some better way to break down the information groups than the infamous Microsoft nested hierarchy plus symbols.
Summary
Great Benchmarking Program
sinizterMarch 21, 2006
Pros
Very nice tests, and really showed me how my system sized up to others (turns out mine isnt too great). I realize that this will be a great tool to compare results from now and when i get some upgrades. On my p4 3.4 gHz HT with 512 DDR2 ram, ati radeon x300 se, managed to pull off around 6400. Hoping to get some more RAM in the future, as well as a radeon x1300. Great program overally and great to compare with. =)
Cons

Best graphics benchmark for slower computers that i've seen
The GeekboyFebruary 9, 2006
Pros
Told me alot about my graphics software, showed me how good my graphics card was in this laptop.
Cons
Only problem that i had with this is that it wouldn't give me a result at the end. I did not see how many 3DMarks i got. Other than that, very good program.
Summary
nice benchmarking

Summary
Ran OK
jhenry9November 26, 2005
Pros
Program downloaded and ran fine. This is my first benchmark. I wish that more people would list results in the reviews so as to compare results: <p>Mine was 19403 but I do not know if it is good or bad for my setup. AMD 64 Series 3500 - Dual ASUS 6600GT SLI - 1GB RAM.
Cons
Nothing to compare results to. I tried to compare to my setup but there were no results found. Will try to compare against other systems.
Summary
ATI beats nVidia everytime.
Redo168July 16, 2005
Pros
I'm using an Athlon XP 1666mhz, Radeon 9200-128bit 128MB DDR, 512 MB PC2700 DDR, Asus KT400 chipset board. I had a raw score of 6001! that is since i switched to radeon from that overrated GeForce FX. Switch to ATI. They really know what they're doing.
Cons
nothing. my pc performed like a 3D movie maker.
Summary
Everyone should have it!
AnnoyedDragonJune 14, 2005
Pros
If your looking to test your PC performance against some of your favorit oldies that still give the modern PC a run for its money I can't recommend this enough! Not only is this entertaining but it gives you a clear view of what your computer is capable of, it may not have the flash and glory of the 03 and 05 versions but it still boasts graphics most games use that will leave you in awe such as the nature scene. Also unlike the 03/05 version this benchmark is berly restricted so contains all the visual content, the very specific testing options are still disabled so its still worth purchasing but if you just enjoy computer eye candy the restricted version is all you need. I'd recommend this for anyone who wants to test their computer for gaming but doesn't have razor edge hardware or for anyone who just enjoys 3D graphic demonstrations. <p> <p>If you want a additional pixel shader test be sure to check out the futuremark website for 3dmark 2001 SE which is also a free download.
Cons
Cannot really think of any problems other than Futuremark should of given more insentive to purchase the program as it provides allot even with its restrictions.
Summary
not reliable, freezes often
