ipKonfig has also put an article online an 3DMark05. Futuremark has released its latest version into the web, and a rather demanding version it is, too. A quick glance at the specs tells us that we're looking at expanded of benchmarking, being pushed further. Today's computers need something hard-core to produce to push the performance envelope for consumers; after all—they are the purchasers, aren't they?

Most, if not all nVidia partners intend to introduce overclocked versions of the Geforce 6600 GT card. nVidia sent out Geforce 6600 GT samples to the press with card that featured a 500MHz GPU clock and 1000MHz memory clocked card. Its partners suddenly received the green light from the green company that they can use 1100MHz memory and that will obviously increase performance numbers.

Vitual Zone gotten their hands on a XFX GeForce 6800 GT AGP graphics card. We have said it before and we will say it again, the video card sector is one of the most competitive and ever changing in all of the computer industry. We've seen ATI and NVIDIA battle for market dominance over the past three years, presenting a level of competition that this market has never seen before. Both companies have millions to spend on research and development, and their latest offerings, the NV40 and R420 series released earlier this year have proven ATI and NVIDIA's desire to have their name on the fastest graphics card currently available.

X-Bit-Labs also covered the new release of Futuremark's 3DMark. Graphics hardware for personal computers is continuing to develop faster than any other types of computing processors. With escalating competition between market leaders – ATI Technologies and nVidia Corp. – new generations of graphics chips deliver overwhelming advantage over previous generation products. Faster graphics chips and more demanding games urge different benchmarks that can clearly distinguish the best graphics card with others.

Well it seems like every site related to some hardware reviews has put a 3DMark05
review up. So also Elite
Bastards has gotten a review up. Ask your average gamer or hardware
enthusiast to name a benchmark - Any benchmark. Chances are the name that will
escape their lips will be 3DMark. Since the release of 3DMark99 almost six years
ago, this benchmark has cemented itself in the psyche of most as the pinnacle of
consumer 3D graphics for its time, each release bringing more and more lifelike
graphics, far beyond that seen in the games of its day, to its awed users. Today
sees the launch of a new version of 3DMark - 3DMark05.
Is this the benchmark to revive confidence in FutureMark and synthetic
benchmarking? Today we'll be taking a look to see just what the latest revision
in the 3DMark dynasty has to offer.

What's up next? Well HardwareZone has put up a review on the ATI Radeon 9250. So what's new in the Radeon 9250? Some people initially assumed that the Radeon 9250 is a DirectX 9 compliant VPU of the existing Radeon 9200 but that is actually the furthest from the truth. Sadly, there aren't any new features or for that matter, improvement in clock speeds either.

3DVelocity took a look at 3DMark05. The buzz on the net was that Futuremark would release 3DMark05 soon, many had speculated its arrival and now it's here.Futuremark started off with the release of XL-R8R, back when they were called the MadOnion. Each year another benchmark was released, 3DMark99 in October of 1998, then came 3DMark2000, followed by 3DMark2001 and then 3DMark03. 3DMark03 and 3DMark05 weren't released the next year, but instead after 2 years. This shows that the benchmarks grew and matured in both size and shape.

Well it seems all review sites have been looking at 3DMark05, so also Bjorn3D has put his review online. If there is one benchmark that has stood tall over the years, it is the 3DMark series from Futuremark. Ever since the release of 3DMark99 back in 1998, Futuremark has continued to provide us users (and reviewers) with a way to compare our video cards in a reproducible way. True, the benchmarks have been surrounded with some controversy the last few years, and many have questioned the use of synthetic benchmarks.
