By combining DirectX8 support with completely new graphics, it continues to provide good overall system benchmarks. 3DMark2001 SE has been created in cooperation with the major 3D accelerator and processor manufacturers to provide a reliable set of diagnostic tools. The suite demonstrates 3D gaming performance by using real-world gaming technology to test a system's true performance abilities. Tests include: DirectX8 Vertex Shaders, Pixel Shaders and Point Sprites, DOT3 and Environment Mapped Bump Mapping, support for Full Scene Anti-aliasing and Texture Compression and two game tests using Ipion real-time physics. Higher 3DMark scores denote better performance.

3DMark2001 Benchmark Results
Motherboard	3DMarks	Ranking
Albatron PX915G Pro (915G, 200/400)	12253
Gigabyte GA-8GPNXP-D (915P, 200/433)	12765
Gigabyte GA-8ANXP-D (925X, 200/433)	12855
Gigabyte GA-8ANXP-D (925X, 216/518)	12961

A more powerful videocard could show the differences between the systems better. Still, the Gigabyte GA-8ANXP-D scores the highest at stock speeds.

AquaMark3 is a powerful tool to determine reliable information about the gaming performance of a computer system. Because the benchmark extensively utilizes DirectX9, DirectX8 and DirectX7 functionality, it represents the requirements of typical gaming applications in 2003 and 2004.
