Starting the default Benchmark

Despite being one of the most highly developed 3D gaming benchmark available, 3DMark03 can be used by people with any range of benchmarking experience. A single click is enough to get a 3DMark score for your system.

To start the default benchmark, simply click once on the Run 3DMark button. Upon loading, 3DMark03 selects all the tests that your PC supports and running the default benchmark will produce a 3DMark score from these checks.

Once the benchmark has completed, you will be presented with a 3DMark score (provided no errors or problems have occurred). Beneath the score is the Online ResultBrowser (ORB) button - clicking this once will submit your score and take you to the ORB section of the Futuremark website. Here you will be able to compare your result against other PCs from around the world.

NOTE: Please carefully read our Legal Agreement before using the Online ResultBrowser and submitting your score. For matters concerning the Internet connection to the ORB, please contact your Internet service provider.


Starting the Demo

To run the 3DMark demo, simply click once on the Demo button. Turn up the volume, sit back and enjoy the show :-)

Note: The demo requires graphics hardware with 1.1 pixel shader support. The fourth part of the demo is based on game test 4, and requires pixel shader 2.0 support in hardware.
