3dmark03 is a crap, 01 isn't, because it scales well with whatever hardware you upgrade.

i hate futuremark because its kinda like a dyno test...it tells ya how much horsepower and torque you have but can in no way provide info of a cars true performace due to gearing and tranny performace and vehicle weight vs drag. 3dmark is much the same. if you really wanna cruch your 3d card and see what you cpu base has got as far as balls download the halo demo and do a FPS test. so far alot of pubs has found this and aqaumark to be the best tests around because they provide real-world performace so to speak beacuse Halo is a real game and aquamark is an updated version of aquanox gameplay with pixel shader 2 stuff. so give then two a try...hell Halo even makes my computer choke at 1600x1200 as does aquamark with 4x AA and 16X anisotropic filtering. oh yeah and i hear aquamark takes advantage of hyperthreading for ya dual cpu and HT nuts out there
