3DMark06 coming soon!

Darksaber · Jan 14, 2006

Futuremark has a flash teaser of the new 3DMark. And the end of that trailer reads "coming soon". The images shown in that fairly short trailer are just beautiful and look quite complex. I would not be surprised if we get the new 3DMark in a month or so.

Damn I just saw the trailer...SLI required, can anyone say?

Waiting for Conroe/Vista before I build my next computer ::looks down at my baby (9800XT)::...can you hold out?

OOOOOoooooo.......
spiffy....

CjStaal · Jan 14, 2006

Nevermind then....

@bikr692002

I think there is a small misunderstanding

you are talking about the Mobile edition of 3DMark, this one is the "big brother" for PC.

cheers

CjStaal · Jan 14, 2006

oh shit

thanks I didnt see "mobile" :laugh:

Solaris17 · Jan 14, 2006

hmmm my 9800pro is finnaly going to flip out and not do it like my 9250 did with 05

CjStaal · Jan 14, 2006

I think I am going to have to get a x1900xtx :-D

Darksaber · Jan 14, 2006

Well I hope my 7800 GT, which is coming next week, will be able to handle that somewhat fluid...I don't want to buy another 7800 GT so fast...

cheers

Looks very HDR-Oriented. Meh.

Usually by the time a new 3dmark comes out, the graphics of games have reached the level of the prior version. I dont know any games that look as good as the demos in 3dmark05.

Darksaber · Jan 14, 2006

Well true, but you have to realize that games are made for the masses...so every game needs to run on as much hardware as possible. And there is just so much "graphics" one can turn down and keep the game looking good enough...noone wants need for speed monst wanted with no textures at all, and no lighting effects...but that way it may run on a Geforce 3 or so...*G*. Its like the one time, when someone managed to get doom 3 running on real old hardware...

I think there are certain games that come damn close to 3DMark 05.. (FEAR, Doom 3, Q4,...even HL2 with HDR or FarCry...) but none would be able to be as detailed as the "Nature" benchmark...as sweet as it would be...

cheers

mtosev · Jan 14, 2006

I really think that it won't run smoothly on my X800 XT PE.

Darksaber · Jan 15, 2006

I agree, i am not expecting it to run smooth on my 7800 GT either

cheers

arent we getting a little carried away here people? :wtf:

INSTG8R · Jan 15, 2006

Hold me...Im scared....
I just finally got this old sucker to break 6k at stock on 05 Im doomed.....

zAAm · Jan 15, 2006

Can't wait! It's going to look awesome and it's not going to work on my PC probably. They'll probably require PS3 or sumthin... Sigh.

zOaib · Jan 15, 2006

Hmmm i wonder what a x1800xt would score on the 3dmark06 , if it can get me even something around 5-6k ill be happy ! but somethign tells me it will be lower than that , well cant wait to see !

wtf8269 · Jan 15, 2006

I was looking at their press releases and they go all the way back to 1998 when 3dMark99 was released. :laugh:

To think I was only in 2nd grade then.

mtosev · Jan 15, 2006

W2hCYK · Jan 17, 2006
