3DMark03

3DMark03 simulates DirectX 8 and 9 games. Even though this program may be considered ”old“, we ran it to see how the tested video cards perform on older games. Since we are comparing high-end cards, we ran this program in higher resolutions, as performance difference between high-end video cards is more expressive on such resolutions. We chose three resolutions, 1600x1200, 1920x1440 and 2048x1536. At each resolution we simulated two scenarios, first with no image quality enhancements enabled (this scenario we called ”low“) and then with anti-aliasing set at 4x and anisotropic filtering set at 16x (this scenario we called ”high“). The results you check below. All video cards listed below were running with the default clock rates defined by the chip manufacturer.
