Want an awesome graphics benchmark. Check this out: (40MB but must have!!!)

Most people download it to test drivers. Others download it to see graphics. There are two modes, benchmark and demo. Demo is pure eye candy, its like watching a movie. Benchmark is also visually neat but shows frames per second and other usefull data.

Everyone has it. No one doesn't. Get it!

I am a graphic designer as well, and I kept seeing the word "benchmark" and I was just curious if it had anything to do with overclocking or something like that, but I guess not. Thank you for the explanation.........
