Most appropriate Benchmark?

Does anyone have any recommendations as to which of the common published benchmarks is the most accurate predictor of openGL performance in general and Celestia performance in particular?

As far as I know, many 3D benchmarks focus more on Direct-X performance for gaming, but may or may not give a good indication of expected openGL performance.

The ones I am aware of are 3DMark01, 3DMark03, 3DMark05, 3DMark06, and Passmark


Any experts care to chime in with an opinion?
Any other benchmarks that I might not be aware of???

Cheers
CC

Hi, Chuft-Captain
Furmark, the ultimate OpenGl stress benchmark.
It will kill your system :D
Grab it there:

Your graphic card will feel the heat!
From the same dev, GPU Caps viewer gives interesting information about the capabilities of the graphics subsystem.
