Is there a free program to test out the 3D performance or benchmark of
my graphics card.

3DMark 2003 and 2001SE Free version (not as customisable as the pro
versions). I got 2436 3dmarks (2001se) on a Intel Extreme Graphics.

but its a 178MB download hopefully there is something smaller.

If I remember correctly, www.freshdevices.com has a free pack ( called Fresh
Diagnose?) that benchmarks a lot of things which also includes a 3D
benchmarking.

If you happen to own the latest Norton Systemworks, it contains "Performance
Test" (Passmarks) which is a wonderful benchmarking utility.

"D3D RightMark Beta 3
Introduce you public beta version of our synthetic
DirectX 9.0 GPU/VPU benchmarking tools:

Documentation: English and Russian

The D3D RightMark Beta 3 (version 1.0.4.9) includes the following
synthetic tests with source code:

Pixel Filling Test;
Geometry Processing Speed Test;
Hidden Surface Removal Test;
Pixel Shader Test;
Point Sprites Test.

Further documentation
To obtain full functionality, you need fully DirectX9-compatible graphics
adapter. For reading XLS reports, generated by tests, you need Microsoft
Office XP or above.

BruteBenchmark

"simple, fast and relevant methods to check, save (and later compare) the
performance of a processor, video card and hard disk. Two-three
relatively simple, but of real office/scientific application interest,
tests are performed for each hardware category and a benchmark result is
computed.

Accurate and of real interest scores can be obtained quickly (arround 30
seconds are enough), not being necessary to wait for minutes and minutes
again to get the results.

BruteBenchmark is freeware.

Currently available:

version 1.12 (December 2003)

version 1.01 (November 2003)

BruteBenchmark - simple, fast and relevant methods to check, save (and
later compare) the performance of a processor, video card and hard disk.

The 4 categories of tests (CPU Integer, CPU Floating Point, 2D Graphics
and Hard Disk performance) are presented in the first application tab,
and can be started by pushing the coresponding big button image. After
waiting for a certain amount of time ("benchmark duration", which the
user can specify via the Change Settings option) and witnessing the
benchmark progress bar filling up, the obtained scores will be
cumulatively displayed in a list under the hardware's ID.

You will be able to stop the currently running benchmark if you will wish
so, by re-pressing the same button that started the benchmark."

Actually, it's "only" 39.8 MB according to their web page. That's still a
big download, though. 3DMark has become an unofficial standard; just about
any video card review will include it among their tests. If you have an
older machine, use 2001.

Dxdiag should already be on your machine; it doesn't do benchmarks but it
does do some diagnostics.
