3DMarkxx - When?

[Unknown Soldier]

When can we expect a new version of 3DMark. Or is 3DMark05 with us for a while yet.

I can't see much point until we see Shader Model 4 hardware turn up.

How does HDR (FP blending) sound for a good reason to release a new benchmark?

Didn't [put version of last 3DMark released here] include a test for that?

i just hope that the next 3Dmark will use a higher resolution as standard mode.

i just hope that the next 3Dmark will use a higher resolution as standard mode.

From what I have read. Thats not likely. Due to their desire to keep the benchmark playable on more systems. I do recall a futuremark thread where they mentioned they may up it to 1280x1024.

With 4xAA/8xAF as standard, too.

By the way, is the last 3DMark now free? the full version? i never run it on my system cause the fact that i had to pay for it made me boicott it.

I do not believe so, and I was dumb and bought it before I decided to boycott it.

What do you mean by "now free"? All versions of 3DMark have been in two modes - free but with limitations, and pay-for with no limitations. You've never had to pay for any version though to run the basic scoring tests.

That's why he asked about the "full version".

That's not the point though as none of the full versions have ever been free.

Yeah good point. I don't know why he would expect it to be free now.
