The test system is the same as our normal driver analysis article. As we mentioned we will be placing the sample driver we had which is known as the 8.173.2.3-050921a-027133C against the newly released and very official Catalyst 5.11 drivers.
3DMark03

By combining full DX8 and partial DX9 support with completely new tests and graphics over the previous version, 3DMark03 continues the legacy of being the industry standard 3D benchmark.
We can see that the X1800XT doesn’t gain anything in 3DMark03 with the release of the first official X1800 driver.
