    Why run 3DMark05?

    Why run 3DMark05? It looks so old and outdated compared to 3DMark06. The graphics look outadted on my computer, and my computer isn't exactly the best. Medium at best.

    Just wondered....

    Re: Why run 3DMark05?

    Why run it? Well, it's the only 3DMark that exclusively uses SM2.0 for all its graphics tests which makes it an ideal baseline for comparing ones current GPU to 1st, 2nd and 3rd generation SM2.0 graphics cards. Not much of an excuse, to be honest, but hey, you asked!

    Because at the end of the demo the Poets of The Fall music is so much cooler than the crappy 3dmark 06 credits! [thumbup]
