3DMark IN UK

Xionic · 14 Feb 2006 at 22:32

is there anywhere that sells 3DMark 01 SE, 03, 05 & 06 *Pro Versions* besides Futuremark as i dont have a Credit card only a debit card and i really want to buy these legit

*thought this was better suited in here than the software section, as it is a lot to do with gfx*

TIA

Why do you want to buy them?

They are free

Xionic · 14 Feb 2006 at 22:33

Pro version's

maranello168 · 14 Feb 2006 at 22:43

waste of money imo

Xionic · 14 Feb 2006 at 22:54

£17 for 01SE, 03 and 05 isnt bad ($10 each)

then £8.50 for 06 ($15)

thats only £26 for the lot

cant say thats expensive.

Its a con imo. They stick some slowwww CPU tests right in the middle of the new 06 version and the only way you can skip them is to get the pro version.

I am with halifax and my debit/solo card got turned into a VISA a while back. Maybe open up an account with them if you don't want a proper CC?

Visa Electron works for US purchases and also for site asking for CCARD payments.

I don't quite see how it's a "con", they spend lots of money making a fancy benchmark, give most of it away for free and charge people who want a bit of extra flexibility. How's that remotely a con?

Apparently they accept paypal - cant u just use a debit card for that up to a certain amount?
