video card benchmark programs

[PurePeon]

I just got myself a radeon 9000 pro. I want to run some benchmarks on it, but I don't know what and where some programs are located. Can someone enlighten me please?

Thanks

you didnt go for the 8500? download 3dmark 2001

they didn't have the 8500 so i just said screw it and got the 9000 pro. they gave it to me for a good price cause it was an open box sale. but the card didn't looked used at all.

how much was it?

 

[PurePeon]

8500le was $160 can...9000Pro was $140 can. There isn't that much difference in price and performance since I am not overclocking

Not to mention you have the benefit of not having to worry about the varying clockspeeds between manufacturers as was so often the hassle with the R8X00.

yeah my card is 275 core and 550 memory...good enough for me
