3D Mark is the only one I've used. How do you use a game to benchmark your graphics? (I mean besides just telling the framerate in different situations.)

No other but this is somewhat more real way to tell if this videocard is superior to other. Because 3DMark may be good but it's still a synthetic test. And videocards are tested in real action......say gamers.

hmm this is an interesting thread. anyone ever use aida for information about there computer?

I have 3D Mark 03 and Aquamark 3, and I think Aquamark seems more reliable because it's less sensible to driver versions (maybe because cheats are mostly designed for 3D Mark because it's more popular).

The real test are games itself: FarCry, DooM 3, Need For Speed Underground...

CJ - AIDA was bought by Lavalys Inc. and is now called Everest. And yes it's a great app for knowing what's inside (certainly not Intel lol)

Yah igalan, FC, D3, UT2004, those ARE the benchmarks. I need to tweak my system a bit for better speed. UT2004 is the only one thats ran good "right there" with the new card. Not sure for others.
