    It's a graphics test. It will push your vid card and system as high as it can go. The graphics on mine are way above what I normally have, guess I need to to do some reading on how to make the right adjustments. The opening test is worth the download alone. Its looks almost like cfs3 but with 5 times the graphics.:D

    oh yeah you must have Direct x 9, or download the older test for the 8.1.

    It's your GF3. 3DMark03 is still a highly synthetic test, and it is designed to test DX8.1 & DX9 features your card doesnt support. Your score wont dramatically improve until you get a card from the generation that 3Dmark03 was designed to stress test.
