The demo which was entertaining on '03 edition is not quite even amusing to look at on this '05 edition . Okay , it's a benchmark but you can enjoy the demos of former editions but on this one i didn't .

Only a scene of an attack in a spaceship with doom 3 style graphics and seems to be the result of a total lack of imagination , only the first part with huge spaceships is cool but too small .

For the benchmark part , there is one interesting scene with a mongolfiere and a monster on a lake wich is more original , but this benchmark edition as a whole seems to be made out of enthousiasm by the developpers , don't expect it to be fancy or a very good tech demo to show to your friends 8)


Score with an XP 2600+ , Radeon 9800pro , Latest 4.9 Omega drivers , Nforce2U , 2*512PC3200 , Radeon 9800pro nothing overclocked : 2407 .

3DMARK 2005 is a 295MB download and takes 590MB install of HD space .

yea those "proxywhatever" scenes are dull in '03 and '05.

nothing ever really beat the car scene from 3dmark01
