What is the 4th test? I cannot run due to only having a gf3 vid card.

Rave · 12th February 2003, 1:29 PM

Just tried to run 3DMark03 on a p4 2.4 with a TNT2 Ultra ahahaha said it would not support about 10 diffrent things then went to the benchmark screen anyway. Said it was unable to run any of the game tests so I click benchmark and it says no tests selected... GG Futuremark!

AHAH not that I expected it to run on that anyway but really all they needed to say was the vid card is not supported. I suppose they want you to be able to run 'other' tests even if your vid card is crap. But for that you need the pro version...

Check out the [H]ardOCP review on it here if you cant run certain benchies

They didnt like the fact that they arent really testing DirectX9 that much.

The 4th test is the new version of the nature test, its excessively spectacular.

Not very fast but it looks stunning. BTW, the troll lair test looks so much better on a DX9 card, not just speed either.

Hehe, I just looked at teh scores thread. People were sitting there for so long trying to bust 20000 points. Now you will have everyone bragging when they crack 6000

Dr Kildare · 12th February 2003, 1:40 PM

Mmmmmm although it runs pretty chunky on mine I'm most impressed...

Wonder if they got the Wings of Fury title from that old Apple ][e game I used to have...

Actually wonder how the Apple ][e would run 3DMark?

I have tried to upload my scores to the ORB but it just takes me to some page in another language? What gives!

iNeLuKi · 12th February 2003, 1:50 PM

I cant upload scores or look at ORB either.. but mine stops responding after about 30seconds.

Orgazmo · 12th February 2003, 1:54 PM

why is everyone getting such low scores? Im stickin to 2001SE Pro for now

Shawry · 12th February 2003, 2:03 PM

ORB is working fine for me....
It doesnt have any comparisons available yet, but it is storing my results!

Thats the best feature of it IMO.

EDIT: FFS stupid POS, won't let me submit a result (Grayed out)

If I have to regiser (pay $$$) 3Dmark ends here for me, and I'd imagine many others.
