3DMark Vantage to be Released Today

Eclecticos · Apr 28, 2008, 10:42 AM

3DMark Vantage will be released today. It's the new DX10 version of their FM gaming benchmark series. PCMark Vantage is the first objective hardware performance benchmark for PCs running 32 and 64 bit versions of Microsoft Windows Vista. PCMark Vantage is perfectly suited for benchmarking any type of Microsoft Windows Vista PC from multimedia home entertainment systems and laptops to dedicated workstations and hi-end gaming rigs. Regardless of whether the benchmarker is an artist or an IT Professional, PCMark Vantage shows the user where their system soars or falls flat, and how to get the most performance possible out of their hardware. PCMark Vantage is easy enough for even the most casual enthusiast to use yet supports in-depth, professional industry grade testing.

TPU is going to mirror this right?

crow1001 · Apr 28, 2008, 11:04 AM

Anyone know if this going to be a run once version then you have to purchase to run it as many times as you want, or is just like /03/05/06 and you can run the basic edition as much as you want free of cahrge.

i imagine it will be like 03/05/06 but not 100% sure

wolf · Apr 28, 2008, 11:11 AM

i really dont think current hardware is up to the task of DX10 3dmarking very well yet.

considering one massively oc 9800GTX and a Quad at 3.6ghz just sees around 60fps average over the game tests on 3dmark 06....

but ill gladly try it

for free that is...

Oliver · Apr 28, 2008, 11:18 AM

Guess it will be cracked real fast.................for several full runs

EnglishLion · Apr 28, 2008, 11:22 AM

My guess is that the licensing will be the same as PCMark Vantage. 1 run for free only - then purchase required.

blobster21 · Apr 28, 2008, 11:27 AM

either way i'm not going to download this thing, it's not worth the price, the size, or the benefits !

Oliver · Apr 28, 2008, 11:29 AM

Its cracked and for free

snuif09 · Apr 28, 2008, 11:31 AM

whaever i will wait for some better dx10 cards to come out ill stick to my dx9 card

DrPepper · Apr 28, 2008, 12:13 PM

I might get 20 fps on 60 x 60 resolution on my gts

i think it will be a few years before we see high fps which is good, because its designed to test future cards.

No, it doesn't support dx10.1 and 64 bit and the dx10 support isn't even complementary.

Exceededgoku · Apr 28, 2008, 12:59 PM

I've just realised this will be the first title to be DX10 only, can't wait now! Hopefully developers will start to follow suite

.

Megasty · Apr 28, 2008, 01:03 PM

I thing is for certain now...ppl are completely swapping that site now

Eclecticos · Apr 28, 2008, 01:13 PM

What a rip . .I was counting down and everything.

Then I clicked on the download and it said coming soon. Now it wont even load.

Megasty · Apr 28, 2008, 01:16 PM

finally loaded...Its a one-time use just like pcmark vantage

Eclecticos · Apr 28, 2008, 01:22 PM

-=> Here is the TechPowerUp download location.

Kreij · Apr 28, 2008, 01:24 PM

I won't run on my x1950xtx's, so no point in sitting through a 450MB download.

twicksisted · Apr 28, 2008, 01:27 PM

so anyone run this yet?
wondering whether or not i want to pay for the basic version

Exceededgoku · Apr 28, 2008, 01:33 PM

Give me 10 minutes (download finishes in 1) and I'll let you know

.

Mussels · Apr 28, 2008, 01:36 PM

downloading now.

twicksisted · Apr 28, 2008, 01:37 PM

i just downloaded it here at work... burned it to disc for when i get home... but to only be able to run it once is crap

and i bet my HD2900pro will suck big time with it too :P

alexp999 · Apr 28, 2008, 01:41 PM

That sucks that it is one time only, or pay. Guess it will be one bench I dont bother with till they change their system back to how all the other 3dmark's are.

Greed...pure greed...

xylomn · Apr 28, 2008, 01:44 PM

downloading now...

i hope making the free version 1 use only comes back to bite them on the arse

Mussels · Apr 28, 2008, 01:48 PM

i will say this before anyone does it: if you wish to discuss piracy, cracks, or keygens/serials - keep it in PM's.
