Reviews of 3DMark03 Pro

• Beyond3D
  "It would certainly seem that 3DMark2003 is a highly comprehensive benchmarking suite for the latest generation of Shader enabled graphics boards, and yet manages to stay closer to an actual gaming environment that may be seen the coming years.
  No doubt Beyond3D will soon be utilising elements from this benchmark in upcoming tests and reviews."
  
• Rage3D
  "All in all 3DMark03 is an excellent addition to the tool box when it comes to testing system and video performance. We look forward to seeing the results of tests across systems and just how far the end-users will once again go to squeeze that last 3DMark out of their systems."
  
• HardwareMania
  "By that time, 3DMark series increased its popularity. It is used in 95% of 3D graphic card tests and an estimated number of 30 M copies are installed on computers. About 5 M results are sent to Futuremark’s “Online Result Database” and I think that a benchmark proves its prestige."

  "3DMark 2003 gir deg virkelig det beste på markedet av syntetiske benchmarkprogrammer. Meget god uptodate grafikk vil tyne grafikkortet ditt for hver minste dråpe."
  
• HardOCP
  "The water in this test is the best I have ever seen rendered in real time on my computer. It is rendered using Pixel Shader 2.0 and is truly remarkable looking. The sky is also rendered using Pixel Shader 2.0 utilizing a higher dynamic range of color DX9 cards support."
  
• TeamHardware
  "3D Mark 2003 from Futuremark looks really nice. Some scenes were very hard for my PC to run though, for instance the FPS meter in the second and third game benchmark was telling me that I had 1 and 2 FPS all the time. Futuremark really put effort in making it a nice benchmark."
  
• BurnOutPc
  "Designed to work with the latest and greatest videocards, but still backwards compatible to slower pc's. Different settings, and different drivers. Etc. Etc. I personally find this product a must for reviewers out there."
  
• PC Extreme
  "boys and girls, 3DMark03 from Futuremark Corporation is now available and it was worth the wait! Get ready to experience the best computer generated graphics you have ever seen."
  
• ExtremeTech
  "We spoke with company officials from ATI and Dell, and both companies believe that 3DMark03's methodology and implementation are essentially sound. Dell, in particular, will be using the benchmark as one of its metrics for qualifying 3D GPUs."
  
• My Drivers (Chinese)
  
• Bit-Tech
  "In my opinion Futuremark have tried to make something for everyone and made some truly groundbreaking graphics in the process. I'm certain that with the advent of these graphical techniques and the superb showcasing Futuremark has given them we'll be seeing plenty more in games to come."
  
• Hardware-Mag (German)
  "Futuremark setzt mit dem Nachfolger von 3D Mark 2001SE neue Maßstäbe in Sachen "Leistungshunger" von 3D-Anwendungen. Konnte man mit einem halbwegs passablen Mittelklasse System beim Vorgänger noch eine Vielzahl 3D Mark Punkte ergattern, sieht das ganze nun anders aus: Ein absolutes High-End System wird benötigt, um den kompletten Benchmark einigermaßen "flüssig" zu überstehen."
  
• BenchmarkHQ
  "For Once, I have to say that I’ve pretty much seen the way of the future before it’s even here. This program is the cutting edge of consumer graphics and gaming technology for the coming year. Nice to see futuremark is ahead of the game in this release. I think the new standard has been set. If you are too attached to your high scores in 3Dmark2001SE. Don’t come here. This is where the rubber meets the road."
