I was reading some news groups this morning and came accross a thread were some developers were reporting early benchmarks of 3Dmark 2003. Some replies have asked if there was to be a 3Dmark2002 and the programmers responded with in seconds of the post and claimed that there would be no 2002 version of the popular software.
They also mentioned that 3Dmark 2003 was specifically designed for the Radeon9700Pro and GeForceFX cores to do maximum DirectX 9.0 Support.
Appearently, near fall next year, Mad Onion is expected to release an enhanced version of 3Dmark 2003 dubbed 3Dmark 2003 SE which includes DirectX 9.4 features which can only be found in R400 and NV35 boards which wont exist untill Christmas (NV35) and Spring 2004 (R400).
R350 (Next Generation ATI Card) is expected to be a DirectX 9.1 Card hence DirectX 9.4 wont be out untill Fall next year and R350 is supposed to be out by May next year.
