| 804311 | 2009-08-26 01:03:00 | Hi all, So I've got about a dozen random PC's me and some friends use for gaming. In the spirit of being young men, we want to find out "who's is best" (Not really..) for gaming. So, 3D Benchmarking naturally is the way to go. We know that some of them are running XP, some are running Vista, and some Win7. Some don't support DX10 - which rules out 3DMark Vantage. Any ideas on some good (Ideally free) 3D benchmarking software that we can run to test the machines? Perhaps even trials of certain games that we can download and put into "benchmark mode"? Cheers Chill. |

We know that some of them are running XP, some are running Vista, and some Win7. Some don't support DX10 - which rules out 3DMark Vantage. SO why not just use the old 3DMark? Still works, still tests your GPU which is what it's for. |

| 804316 | 2009-08-26 04:35:00 | I guess we figured it wouldnt be as "stressful" on the system as newer games / apps etc? We could, but some of the rigs are quite high-end, quad-core CPU's, SLI w/512MB Ram per-card etc.. wanted something new that we knew would really give it a run for its money :D |

| 804317 | 2009-08-26 04:46:00 | 3DMark06 will still give good relative results. Bear in even a lot of new games are still predominantly DX9, not DX10. | inphinity (7274) | ||
