OpenMark for Mac PowerPC (test the speed of the video card)

Before the week starts, let’s do a test with our Mac PowerPCs.  Download OpenMark 1.60 and launch the app.  Once it’s on, you go to the OpenMark menu bar and choose “Run Benchmark”.  After that, you just wait for a few minutes and this app will test the raw speed of the video card, drawing a variable number of triangles and generating a report with the machine score.  Feel free to share your score with us!   Leave your comments and scores and don’t forget to include your version of PowerPC.

*OpenMark 1.60 (10.3/10.4/10.5) –  Panther, Tiger and Leopard – http://cl.ly/000z03160y1L1M0F3w1i
