3DMark06

3DMark is a computer benchmark by Futuremark Corporation which is used to determine the DirectX9 performance of a graphics card. The score is calculated from testing the graphics card and processor – so when comparing results, the same CPU needs to be used.
3DMark 06 is a synthetic measure of real-world performance which features the following:
- HDR rendering.
- Complex HDR Video post-processing.
- Dynamic soft shadows for all objects.
- Water shader with HDR refraction, HDR reflection, depth fog and Gerstner wave functions.
- Heterogeneous fog.
- Atmospheric light scattering.
- Realistic sky model with cloud blending.
- Strauss lighting model for most materials.
- Subsurface scattering shader for some objects (not visible in the shot).
- Texture & normal map sizes: 1024 x 1024 to 2048 x 2048.
- Approximately 5.4 million triangles and 8.8 million vertices.

As you can see, the GTX285 obviously achieved the highest benchmark scoring. It performed considerably higher than the 4850 which is also a fairly good card.
