    Can't seem to find the test Directx3d


    I would like to take a look at the speed of my graphic card as it is currently quite slow[which i don't know why as its a Ati 5800 series card]. Is searched the internet and they said that i could go to Dxdiag and under the display tab there should be a test Directx3D, where you can see a cube spinning to look at its speed. I followed the steps until the display tabs, i could not find any Test Directx3D or some sort of button. I snipped a picture of it, please help me...

    You couldn't find it because there is none.

    If I remember correctly, that spinning cube used to be around in XP. Not any more.

    Use some other test, there're lots of them.

    I just ran the test with my GTX 260 superclocked card and yours is about 800 points higher than mine in the 3d graphics portion of the test. Maybe someone with the same card would be willing to DL the program and do a comparison for you. Overall your system scored twice as high as mne.Have you tried clicking the compare results tab to see what comes up? Fabe
