By combining DirectX8 support with completely new graphics, it continues to provide good overall system benchmarks. 3DMark2001SE 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 numbers denote better performance.

3DMark2001SE Benchmark Results with AF
	Video Card	FPS	Ranking
1.	Gigabyte GV-NV57U128D 2x AF	14264
2.	Gigabyte GV-NV57U128D 4x AF	13556
3.	Gigabyte GV-NV57U128D 8x AF	12851

AF used to really degrade performance, but not anymore.

X2 The Threat	Source: Egosoft

A completely rewritten 3D engine based on DirectX8 encompasses many visual effects such as volumetric Nebulae (gas clouds) that have a real impact in the game (you can hide in them), many new engine, shield, weapon and explosion effects. Objects cast real dynamic 3D shadows! Dynamic DP3 bump mapping allows a previously unseen level of detail.

With AF enabled X2:The Threat is still gamable.

Unreal Tournament 2003	Source: Epic

Unreal Tournament 2003 is the sequel to 1999's multiple 'Game of the Year' award winner. It uses the very latest Unreal Engine technology - where graphics, sound and game play are taken beyond the bleeding edge. Unreal Tournament 2003 employs the use of Vertex as well as Pixel Shaders and it's recommended that you use a DirectX 8 videocard to get the most out of the game.

UT2003 1024x768 Flyby with AF
	Video Card	FPS	Ranking
1.	Gigabyte GV-NV57U128D 2x AF	144.06
2.	Gigabyte GV-NV57U128D 4x AF	136.65
3.	Gigabyte GV-NV57U128D 8x AF	130.71

If you're into FPS's AF can help you differentiate between objects in the distance. AF will not decrease your frame rates very much in UT2003.
