First, you'll find a table showing the single figure of merit numbers for 3D wireframe (PLBwire93) and 3D surface (PLBsurf93) categories, along with a list of the eight standard benchmark files available for graphics performance testing under the Picture-Level Benchmark (PLB). These files are divided into three categories: 3D Wireframe, 3D Surface, and "Other."

"Normalizing Factor" is the scaling factor used to keep numbers from becoming too unwieldy, and the PLB_lit and PLB_opt columns give the reported PLBmark scores for each test. A section within the PLB overview called "The Method for Reporting Results" contains an explanation of the number reporting system.

Vendor and System Name Graphics Adapter API
Composite PLBmarks
PLBwire93		PLBwire93 score
PLBsurf93		PLBsurf93 score
Benchmark Name	Normalizing Factor	PLBmarks
		PLBlit	PLBopt
3D Wireframe
1. sys_chassis	N	lit	opt
2. race_car	N	lit	opt
3. seafloor	N	lit	opt
3D Surface
4. cyl_head	N	lit	opt
5. head	N	lit	opt
6. shuttle	N	lit	opt
7. studio	N	lit	opt
Other
8. oceantopo	N	lit	opt

Next, you'll find a listing of optimizations for each standard benchmark file for which a PLB_opt number is reported.

Optimizations	Benchmark Used
A. Description of first optimization	benchmark numbers
B. Description of second optimization	benchmark numbers
C. . . .	. . .

This is followed by a description of the system used to achieve the graphics performance results reported on the page, with a section for listing technical notes pertinent to the graphics performance tests.

Finally, a table gives the price and availability of the system described. "Test Date" refers to the data when the reported performance tests were run. "General Availability" is the vendor's estimate of when the system reported on was made available or will become available.
