What are good Video Card Benchmarks I can use to test my card?

[cg]

I own a Ge-Force 2 64 MB DDR, and an AMD 1.1 ghzt, but my scores from 3DMark2000 are very low, around 3000. What Do I need to do? It still wouldn't let me do the test with 64 MB, eventhough my card is a 64 MB DDR. I have the Detonator 6.31 driver.
I dowloaded Quake 3 demo, but how do I see my brenchmarks on this? What are the commands I type to view the framerates?
thanks

More information about your system would be VERY helpful (mobo, os, etc). Plus, at what resolution and color depth did you run 3DMark2000? If you ran at 800x600x16, then yes that is very low; but if you ran in 1600x1200x32, then that would be very high!

Opps, I forgot. Go here to see command for Q3: Command for fps in Q3

By the way, I just did a search in the software forum to find.

STAY AWAY FROM 3DMARK!!! QuakeIII is a good benchmark, MDK2, even UT...all of them are much better than 3Dmark. Any game with a built in timedemo will do the trick, if it doesn't have one, download fraps, that will display the framerate. But whatever you do, do not incur the wrath of Deeko by complaining about 3DMark scores

EDIT: Sorry, I just beat Skies of Arcadia so I'm in that mindset behold.....Pirate's Wrath!!

Quake 3 is one of the best benchmarks to use, period.

If you ask me, never trust ANY benchmark by the result it delivers. The only way to truely know performance is to log the performance of every single frame and average that... It gives different results, and interesting ones at that.

How exactly do you do that? Quake 3 has ~1400 frames in each demo!

 

[DaveB3D]

Use Intel's graphics performance toolkit. You can download a trial at Intel's site. It is interesting because with NVIDIA boards the results you find with a timedemo and the results you find in the actual game are entirely different... one of the reasons I always have said the V5 is a better board.

OK Dave, I might check it out a bit later.
