If it's like my GF4 was, it may run one or two of the tests, but not all.

My 9800xt gets 6,400 points in '03.

my old Radeon 8500-128MB - just ahead of the GF3 Ti 500 - got less than a third of the xt's score.

It's worth trying - mostly you will get a slideshow and almost none of the cool lighting effects the DX8 cards cannot run. . . . 3Dmark'01 is the test for the older cards.

It should just be able to run Game Tests 1-3, which are DX7 (no shaders), 8, and 8 (PS/VS 1.x). It can't run GT4, which uses some DX9 (PS/VS 2.0) effects. Don't expect to score much more than 1K, IIRC.
