Looks like Nvidia's latest drivers have a profile for 3dmark06.....so it can't be that far away, can it?

Nick, I just gotta say I love you and all is forgiven.
Merry ho-ho, you and the rest of the FM crew have a great holiday.

Anybody check out the front page
http://www.futuremark.com/ - make sure you click the "Play full teaser" button on the bottom left side of the flash image.

Exciting! I wonder what "soon" means though? A quarter? A month? A week?!

If it's more than a month, then they're awful teases.

I'd speculate much sooner than that. Say, soon enough for any reviewers to include it in their R580 articles

Yep, don't see the need to have the flash up for more than a week - that's more than enough time to build up the hype. Much more than that and it gets real old. Here's to hoping Futuremark thinks the same way I do

If we do get it in time for the launch of R580, be ready for ATI PR: "We do XXXX marks more than 7800GTX!"
Followed shortly thereafter by leaks that say: "G71 does XXXX marks more than R580!" Followed promptly by message board cheerleaders: "ATI/NVidia are cheating"!

You entirely left out the "FM are cheating for [insert IHV here]!" threads.

I have a very odd prediction about 3dm2k6, I predict I will bitch less about it than the two previous ones and I will do my happy geek dance for about 15 minutes when it's finally released.

Found one about DST - so I'm guessing you didn't like the way it gave Nvidia an unfair advantage. Now we just have to wonder if you're happy because 3dmark06 is a fair battleground or if ATi now has the advantage....hmmmmm.
