Designed
for DirectX9.0, provides you with all the information you need to make informed
hardware assessments. Havok Total real-time physics library from Havok - these
routines are used to accurately model the movements of objects due to forces,
etc. FMOD sound library from Firelight Technologies - these are used for the
various sound effects and routines used in the tests. Graphics adapter analysis
software from Powerstrip of Entech Taiwan - this is used to correctly determine
the speeds of the graphics processing and video memory chips, plus supply
additional hardware information. Higher 3DMark03 scores denote better
performance.

3DMark03 results are rather surprising and I would have
expected the Gigabyte GV-RX18L256V-B to do better than this. Between the X1800
XL and the ATi Radeon X850 XT PE the scores are very close. It's about 1000
points less than what a GeForce 7800GT produces.
3DMark05
is the latest version of the highly favoured 3DMark graphics benchmarking
series. It is the first benchmark to require DirectX9.0 compliant hardware with
support for Pixel Shader 2.0 or higher!

The Gigabyte GV-RX18L256V-B scores about 10% higher than
the previous high end Radeon X850 XT PE, and about 400 points more than its
direct competitor, the GeForce 7800GT. It lags behind the GeForce 7800GTX
slightly, but not by much.
