In this video, we take a nostalgic journey back to 1999 with 3DMark99 MAX, the first Futuremark benchmark that utilized DirectX 6. Using my RTX 4090, we run the benchmark and revisit the demo in all its late 90s retro glory. Join us as we bring the series full circle; where we have explored the evolution of 3DMark from its inception to the present day.
