By combining DirectX8 support with completely new graphics, it continues to provide good overall system benchmarks. 3DMark2001SE has been created in cooperation with the major 3D accelerator and processor manufacturers to provide a reliable set of diagnostic tools. The suite demonstrates 3D gaming performance by using real-world gaming technology to test a system's true performance abilities. Tests include: DirectX8 Vertex Shaders, Pixel Shaders and Point Sprites, DOT3 and Environment Mapped Bump Mapping, support for Full Scene Anti-aliasing and Texture Compression and two game tests using Ipion real-time physics.

Higher numbers denote better performance.

Quake III Arena

Quake III Arena is a First Person Shooter (FPS) that revolutionized gaming as we know it. Using multiple light sources and having graphics textures that can fill videocards.

Video Card FPS Ranking
1. Gigabyte FX5950 Ultra 2xAA, 8x AF 275.3
2. Gigabyte FX5950 Ultra 4xAA, 8x AF 258.4

With all features enabled, the FX5950 failed to stand out significantly from its nearest ATI competitor, though it did finally distance itself from the FX5900. The Q3 scores in 8x Aniso/4X AA were impressive for the card though.
