3DMark Vantage Launch Next Week?

malware · Apr 17, 2008, 11:02 AM

The long awaited Futuremark 3DMark Vantage will be released on April 22nd it has been learned from a picture posted on PCPOP.com. Most notably 3DMark Vantage will differ from previous 3DMark video benchmarks with its DirectX 10 API. DirectX 10 support also means the program will work on Windows Vista only. When started 3DMark Vantage will run through three tests to determine your PC's performance - Jane Nash, Calico and Aeroplanes. If your PC is equipped with an AGEIA PhysX card, there will be a fourth test for physics only. The full list of all NVIDIA/ATI video cards capable of running 3DMark Vantage can be found here. An online test to see if your PC is up to the task for 3DMark vantage is also running online.

You want something that will push your old GTS to the max, then try Crysis at very high...no need to wait for 3DMark Vantage.

Yeez, CRYSIS is the best game for test your system 3D performance

But I want to see the new spacebattle scene in the new 3DMark

BUT WHY VISTA ONLY????????

powerspec · Apr 17, 2008, 11:40 AM

Malware; I forgot about crysis, as do have that game and i do play at veryhigh... stupid me.

Tatty_One; I have Vista. I just dual boot between XP 64bit and Vista 64bit. But XP is my main OS.

But still, i can't wait!

Update specs?

magibeg · Apr 17, 2008, 11:44 AM

It makes perfect sense as to why its vista only, its a true dx10 benchmark. Futuremarks mission is to be on the cutting edge and essentially predict what games will be like over the next couple years. I'm afraid all you windows XP users are going to have to accept the fact you're slowly falling behind. Though forced progress does kinda suck :P

I'll think about it :P

I will be switching to Vista as my main OS here soon.

I wonder how big the download will be, and i hope they have got more bandwidth than when 3dmark06 came out as i remember that day was very slow for speeds.

PVTCaboose1337 · Apr 17, 2008, 12:03 PM

I will not be switching to Vista just for a benchie... I just need a dx10 card first...

CoreDuo · Apr 17, 2008, 02:57 PM

Shame it doesn't run on Windows XP. Can't be bothered installing Vista just to benchmark with 3dmark Vantage

Nicksterr · Apr 17, 2008, 03:02 PM

won't be trying it out since it's vista only. tisk tisk.

trog100 · Apr 17, 2008, 03:04 PM

there might be a more pressing reason to switch to vista than the latest 3dmark.. having just tried the 8.4 cats in XP crossfire.. just like the 8.3s the f-ckers dont work in XP..

trog

jbunch07 · Apr 17, 2008, 03:11 PM

yall are going to have to except the fact that xp was an awesome OS... but its time to move on..we cant use xp forever now

twicksisted · Apr 17, 2008, 04:31 PM

well this is good news!
glad i just upgraded to vista 64bit... im sure it will run quite nicely on there with a few upgrades

(hoping that its 64bit compatible, but im sure it will be, after all this is to define gaming systems for the next few years)

with the system in your specs you should have nothing to worry about

Dangle · Apr 17, 2008, 04:51 PM

WOOOT! All right! Finally I can start benching my PC! 3Dmark 06 doesn't install on my vista64 pc.

I seriously doubt that :P Even though I can get 13k in 3dmark 06, its still jumpy and slow... so im sure this will bring it to its knees completely.

The future of gaming (as gaming / hardware manufacturers want us to believe) is multi-core, multi Gpu... and i only got 1 mid range GPU
