Ok.I read this in the futuremark forums.

3d Mark Vantage Based On Alan Wake Engine

3M Mark 2001 was based on Max Payne apparently so it's been done before.

It has a test from it but also the whole engine of vantage is based on it.

A lot of you guys probably all know about this anyway.

Can't remember where I read it in the forums but thought I might get your thought processes going.

Could be just the 'rumour-mill' going overtime.

I'm sceptical. I guess we would have seen and heard a lot more about this connection if it were true.

Damn I got PCMARK mixed up with 3DMARK... hmm let me do some more googling.

3dmark01 on the max payne engine? You sure?

3dmark01 on the max payne engine? You sure?

I think it is aswell. The 'Lobby' test is definitely using the Max Payne engine anyway.

So if its based on the Alan Wake engine, if Alan wake will run good, 3DMark should then?

oooooh you know what......that does make a lot of sense.

Shouldnt that be the other way round

Yeh, apparently the 3dmark team did use the max fx engine if you read some of the threads on yougamer.

Should be quad core optimised as its been long promised for AW.

wouldnt bet on it, 3dmark probably has a lot more nifty things included in it which will rape your gpu a new powersocket where as alan wake obviously has to be coded to work better on most systems

I'm guessing because of the whole matrix bullet time thing. Even though it did look a lot worse than max payne itself.

Well I've found something that is exclusive with 3d mark vantage and Alan Wake.

They are both dx10 only.

Has there been a game so far that is only exclusively dx10?

Well if it is based on the Alan Wake engine- the difference between that and the game would be they wouldn't have options to turn the effects down. So it would be 'very high' or nothing - also with higher polygon counts and more lighting effects etc.

With the Alan Wake game they would have options for lower spec systems.

If it is based on the Alan Wake engine that is....

Is this vantage thing out yet because I thought I saw it running somewhere
