This is Ziff-Davis' 3D Winbench 2000. This benchmark suite was used primarily during the late '90s to test 3D cards. It came before 3DMark, and was championed by Computer Gaming World. It tests a 3D card's capabilities and verifies that it produces correct output and then runs a number of performance tests.

I had to artificially slow the recordings down because even limited to 60fps with vsync they just zoomed by and were over in seconds. :) Without Vsync, the X850 tore through each test at over 900 fps. I ran this on my Voodoo1 back in '97 or so (earlier version) and it was almost a slideshow on that card.

There are some rendering issues that I think were caused by FRAPS because when I was watching the tests run, I didn't notice the errors that are in the video.
