3DMark 2005

Called the "Gamer's Benchmark," THG has been using the different versions of 3DMark over the years. The mark is set using a reference system that easily becomes outdated. As these newer systems come to market, the higher the score, the better the performance versus the reference system. With each new version of 3DMark, scores are scaled down so they do not become astronomically high.
