3DMark06 is a fundamental tool for every PC user interested in 3D graphics and performance. 3DMark06 will measure your PC's 3D performance in next generation games, reliably compare the latest high end gaming hardware, and show you amazing real-time 3D graphics.

By using 3DMark06 and the Online ResultBrowser web service, you will get:
- The 3DMark score - a globally recognized and comparable measurement of the 3D performance of your PC.
- SM2.0 Score - a new comparable measurement of the 3D ShaderModel 2.0 performance of your PC.
- HDR/SM3.0 Score - a new comparable measurement of the 3D ShaderModel 3.0 & HDR performance of your PC.
- CPU Score - a comparable measurement of the CPU performance of your PC.
- A comparison of your machine and the fastest PCs on the planet.
- An educated estimate as to how much better your system will perform with certain upgrades.
- A view into the next generation of real-time 3D graphics.

3DMark06 is concentrated on measuring the performance of the latest DirectX 9 generation of 3D hardware using the technology of next generation games. Earlier 3DMark versions have usually been launched with the introduction of a new Microsoft DirectX version and with the introduction of a new generation of hardware. This has somewhat limited how much 3DMark has utilized the new hardware features. At the time of this writing, DirectX 9 was introduced nearly three years ago, and there is now DX9 generation hardware available from the very high end to value and mobile parts. 3DMark06 can fully utilize 100% of the features of DirectX 9. In fact, DirectX 9 hardware with support for ShaderModel 3.0 is required to run all the tests of 3DMark06, resulting in the ultimate tool for DirectX 9 hardware performance comparison. DirextX 9 graphics cards limited to ShaderModel 2.X are still capable of running most of the tests, and getting a perfectly valid and comparable 3DMark result.
