3DMark03 uses a DirectX 9 engine created by Futuremark. It was the first 3DMark to include CPU tests. The graphics tests are Wings of Fury, Battle of Proxycon, Troll's Lair and Mother Nature.
The fourth generation 3DMark. It is the first version that supports Microsoft DirectX 9.0 and introduces several new features. The graphics tests cover a range of rendering techniques and DirectX 9 features, expanding on a similar system used in 3DMark2001. 3DMark03 does not use a 3rd party engine for any of the tests; light DirectX wrappers are used instead.
The final score is a weighted sum of the game tests. The results of CPU and other tests are not taken into account.
As a complete package, 3DMark03 consists of:
4 game tests:
GT1: Wings of Fury - SM1.1 vertex shaders are used alongside fixed function pixel processing.
GT2: Battle of Proxycon - SM1.1 vertex shaders / SM1.4 or 1.1 pixel shaders / stencil shadows
GT3: Trolls' Lair - SM1.1 vertex shaders / SM1.4 or 1.1 pixel shaders / stencil shadows
GT4: Mother Nature - SM1.x and SM2.0 vertex and pixel shaders
2 CPU tests - low resolution versions of GT1 and GT3, using software vertex shaders to provide the CPU load
4 Feature tests:
Single and multi-texturing fill rate - fixed function rendering
Vertex shader - SM1.1 vertex and pixel shaders
Pixel shader 2.0 - procedural texturing
Ragtroll - ragdoll physics and SM1.1 rendering
Sound tests - a sequence of graphics tests that uses 0, 24 and 60 sound sources
