3d Mark

I have always seen and heard about 3dMark. I know it's a benchmarking program but I've never thought about trying it. Does it cost anything? Where would I get it?

That's a great score. No sound is ok. Go to search and enter 3dMark and you can compare your scores with others.

EDIT: Upon taking a closer look, that is a low score. Your second score is more like it.

During the 3 of the 4 game tests the FPS dropped to around 3. That is not good. I see scores in the 1000's and up.
