So if your rig can live up to the tests you can obtain your download from a list of mirrors here.

is it free? i got 3D mark 03, but it magicly boots my pc at a test. i can run a few of em, but i think it was the one with the airplanes that just shut down my PC in 0.1 seconds, and then booted it back up..
hope this one is better.

Yes its free

hmmm, i have heard from alot of people about the reboots from 3dmarks but yet both my laptop and pc runs them just fine. i would imagine it 3dmark05 would reboot your computer when u initiate it cheetah since its the latest....and its brutal on anyones machine.

hmm, sure its free? i needed..whell.. i cant say that here, but... i.. i didnent exactly bought it.. but i needed to crack it after that. wasnt free.
so i guess people would say thats the reason the plane test booted my pc.. but i doubt it. i think my PC is just unstable. in the very beginning, when i just had this rig, it had the same thingy more often, nowdays its mostly stable.

Listen. While I understand both sides of the argument, the rules are simple: no talking of warez, crackz, serialz, or anything else that's blatantly illegal. We are a public web site, and will not have this kind of stuff discussed in the forums. I don't want to be a hard ass about this, but it is my job. Please go back to discussing the benchmark program (which I'm giving a spin later on) and NOT how you cracked it.

Don't make me lock the thread, please.

hows those dudes called? the RIAA is for music, but whats for "the word thats may not be sayed"?

Cheetah - you can say warez - just don't talk about them.

That would be protected by the DMCA, the Digital Millenium Copyright Act. While the RIAA is an association of private companies protecting their own self interest, the DMCA is a broader, federal level law that establishes certain guidelines for 'fair use'. RIAA uses the DMCA as a tool for justifying their actions... software piracy is usually dealt with on an 'as needed' basis, i.e., if you pirate WindowsXP, Microsoft will sue you, or if you pirate UT04, Atari / Epic will sue you. There's not a huge software alliance that is comparable to the music industry's.

Hope that answered your questions.

On topic, what's everyone's score?

I read on some website its going to be like year 2007 before pcs can catch up and really show great benchmarks. Besides...i dont really trust these benchmarks since ATi or Nvidia usually "optimize" there drivers. But they should really optimize there drivers for games.....
