BTW 3dmark07 is Vista and DX10 only ;)

Gotta have the new hardware out first before ya can design the software around it!! It's going to need to support SM4.0 and DX10 capability too. But most definitely there will be a 3dMark07 to test the current generation of cards and new technologies they offer... ;)

And it will be hosted here on Bjorn3D.:icon_tiphat:

So could you run this if your using DX 9 but have Vista?

As far as I know 3DMark07 is DX10 only; I don't see any sense making it DX9 since you could just run 3DMark05/06.

Only on spetember? Damn...I can't wait to see how it will perform on my soon-to-be-build new system! :lol:

September, eh? That gives me plenty of time to get my new rig all set up. Looking at grabbing two 8600 Ultra cards for SLI (provided that the power per $ is as good as everyone says) and moving onto a Core 2 Duo.

Didn't you hear? I roll a Thread Necromancer!

Any word on '07 Scott? We're 5/6 through September now.

If anyone posts those screenshots of the quad-core benchmark again Imma gon scalp em.

Yeah, I'm also wondering when exactly will it be released, as I've also heard/read it should be out on September, but September is almost over and I still didn't gey any word on it...:roll:

When i was reading this thread i saying the same thing. Septembers almost over and i want to see some screenies of this shiz. Cause 3dmark always looks better than the games. 3dmark06 was obviously released in 06 and i believe it still looks far better than the new Bioshock in DX9. I dont lag real games, but i lag 3dmark06!! haha

[Ranzear]

Thats because 3dMark is completely, intentionally, unoptimized. Not even for old tech. Its supposed to be a no-shortcuts pig so none of the major manufactuers has the advantage. This results in crap like, with all the shader processors in the 88s, 3dMark06 still only uses twelve of them.

[PP Mguire]

Well it still looks snazzy to me and i think 06 looks better than any DX9 games to date. So they have to be doing something right.
