3DMark05...
 
Thought I'd post up a bunch of screenies of the next 3DMark. It's out later this month apparently and will require at least a DirectX9 card as minimum spec :shocked: https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/...2005/10/12.gif

This one makes for a nice wallpaper (1600x1200)

Nice Forest test (1024x768)

A scan from a German hardware mag

And finally, a bunch from 3DMark04 Beta. (3DMark04 is now 3DMark05)

They're moving fast... Thought there planned release was End of Novemeber.. 03's still got a fair bit of life left in it.

Am I right that this program is used to test how good your graphics card performs ?
I'm not too sure what it does but I've heard a lot mentioned about it when researching graphics cards.

Yes, it's a GPU intensive benchmark suite, 3DMark05 is based around DirectX 9.0c.

In over 70 day's if that's a measurement in seconds :( Also, am I the only one NOT to be excited about a non-interactive bit of software?

It will be ready about 11pm m8, should be fun just to see what kind of scores the latest cards are getting :)

I'm looking forward to seeing the eye candy but I'm not that bothered about my score.
(and I know my 9800 Pro will suck) :p:
