got an email from Gamespot saying that the basic version of 3DMark06 will be out tomorrow 
Heres what info i got..
3DMark06 FeaturesDirectX® 9 3D game performance benchmark
Includes separate graphics card and CPU benchmarks
Produces workloads that simulate next generation 3D gaming requirements
Advanced 3D game engine supports HDR Rendering with SM3.0 Shaders, in addition to SM2.0 Shaders
Includes two HDR/SM3.0 game tests and two SM2.0 game tests
CPU performance testing via AI and physics workloads for both single core systems and multi-threaded, multi-core and multiple processor environments
3D graphics feature tests include Fill Rate, Pixel Shader, Vertex Shader, SM3.0 tests, and Batch Size tests
So people worrying that they wont be able to run it because their cards dont support shader model 3.0, dont worry
naffa
PS Sorry if this is the wrong section
EDIT: I may bump this later so people will see it when the forums fill up.
