Futuremark: 3DMark06

[digitalwanderer]

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.

I give you one and a half month.

What exactly did you bitch about with the other ones again?

Pffft, that's easy. Just click on my username and click "view all posts by poster", it'll explain everything...

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.

I didn't like the way DST was enabled by default even though it wasn't part of the DX9 spec which gave nVidia an advantage, yes.

I have no clue if 3dm2k6 favors ATi/nVidia/Matrox/Intel, nor do I have any idea of how any cards score on it....if that helps narrow down your guessing any.

Sure you don't.... Hopefully nobody will need to guess pretty "soon".

Alright, 1000 marks on a X850 XT here we come.

You think? That might be optimistic.

Lets just hope it's not Valves definition of Soon.


Although I'm not sure my 9800pro will even run it?

 

[Martin Eddy]

Wasn't it mentioned in the interview here that you'll need a SM3 card to run it?

 

[Richard]

The minimum required shader model will be 2.0, but we will also have a couple of graphics tests requiring SM3.0 with support for FP16 textures and blending of these.

Except it's actually done...

My bad.

I think if it's right what i heard it will run on most machines not-realtime(<10fps)

What a wonderful week this is, don't you agree?

 

[Jawed]

If there's no dynamic branching in the pixel shaders, then I'll just surmise that Futuremark copped out, once again.

Subtle, aren't we?

Guess we'll know by the end of the week.
