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.

The Albatron GeForce 6600-512 is obviously not a high
performance videocard since it's built on
the mainstream Geforce 6600 GPU, but it still does fairly well in 3DMark03.
Overclocking boosts the overall score nicely as well.
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!

3DMark05 is much harder on videocards but the Albatron
GeForce 6600-512 still does well as a budget card.
