3DMark06 is the worldwide standard in advanced 3D game
performance benchmarking. A fundamental tool for every company in the PC
industry as well as PC users and gamers, 3DMark06 uses advanced real-time 3D
game workloads to measure PC performance using a suite of DirectX 9 3D graphics
tests, CPU tests, and 3D feature tests. 3DMark06 tests include all new HDR/SM3.0
graphics tests, SM2.0 graphics tests, AI and physics driven single and multiple
cores or processor CPU tests and a collection of comprehensive feature tests
reliably measure next generation gaming performance today.

These scores come as no surprise considering the Samsung
NP540U3C-A01 is equipped with a simple Intel HD4000 IGP - integrated graphics
are just fine for regular desktop work but tend to get bogged down in 3D gaming,
which is not the ideal application for any notebook classed as an
"Ultrabook".
Next, 3DMark Vantage results.

3DMark Vantage is a PC benchmark suite designed to test
the DirectX10 performance of your graphics card. We’ve been making 3DMark for
over 10 years, with each new edition using the latest 3D technology to determine
real-world performance.

The Samsung NP540U3C-A01 achieves similar results in
3DMark Vantage compared to the previous 9-series ultrabook -- although both are
equipped with an Intel HD 4000 IGP, the 9-series CPU is more powerful.

3DMark 11 failed to complete its test run on the
900X4C-A02' Intel HD 4000 IGP but ran without issue in Windows 8 on the
NP540U3C-A01. The results are not very impressive, which is to be expected from
the Intel HD 4000 IGP. Next we have Sandra CPU, Memory and Storage benchmarks.
