Codecreatures is a DirectX 8.1 benchmark written by Codecult in 2002 that involves vertex- and pixelshaders. I use it to benchmark cards starting from the GeForce 4 Ti era. Codecult doesn't seem to write new benchmarks anymore so this will be the only program I will use for older generation of graphics cards.
My benchmark method
Start the program and select the resolution you want to benchmark. I used the settings on the right of the screen because I want to run one benchmark (resolution) at a time. Always check the resolution because I noticed that the default resolution is 1024x480 on some ATi cards! This is either a bug or a nasty trick to get higher results.
Select the correct resolution and press 'Run'.
