That's exactly what they're aiming at though; how games will run in the future!

also the reason they changed their name to Futuremark

Can't wait to kill 3DMark06 with my 6600GT's

j/k

My 3DMark03 score (17573) is twice that of my 3DMark05 score (8468), so I predict my 3DMark06 score will be 4234

Athlon 64 X2 4200+ @ 2.42Ghz, 2GB G.Skill PC4000 @ 220Mhz, XFX Geforce 7800GTX 256MB (475Mhz/1.25GHz), Asus A8N-SLi Premium.

Well at least it has seperate benchmarks for both cpu an 3d so thats a good thing.

Ah my Pc will be fine

Now iv got my 2gig mem il be fine

We really just need to see what scores people are getting tomorro!

As liong as youi have a current gen x1800 series or the 7800 series I'm sure the thing will run great

I think tomorrow it will be more relevant to ask what download speeds people are managing from the overloaded servers

phatboy · 17 Jan 2006 at 20:39

i think it could be a theoretical 2000-2500 points for mine, depends how they define the scoring system in the program and what it rates on more than anything i guess

nah, i think its US time, so its early morning for us

Mikesoft · 17 Jan 2006 at 20:56

Not sure how my current system will handle it.

I ran 3D Mark 05 and got 3260 points. I bet I will get 2000 points with 06.

Eliot · 17 Jan 2006 at 20:56

2gig of ram, x1800xt 512 and 4800+

More like mid afternoon for us, I doubt they're going to release it at 00:01 am 18/01/06.

Legless · 17 Jan 2006 at 23:24

Is this date of 18/01/06 confirmed? Or is it just someones wild guess of a release date? :confused:

lay-z-boy · 17 Jan 2006 at 23:41

bah, all you cheapo's with fx57's and gtx512 sli etc. my new athlon128 rig has 20 cores at 4ghz with 200gb of L1 cache and 4 MXM cards with 2*8900 ultra xtreme on each MXM card with 2gb ram each and a terrabyte of xdr ram should pwn this new bench.
oh i forgot to say i have 5 petabytes of holographic storage. :rolleyes:

*= total and utter tripe.

Logsi · 17 Jan 2006 at 23:45

I hope its better than 05 in that the CPU tests are almost painful to watch

I know what you mean as I also used to get 1-2 FPS and it was the part of 3D Mark 05 that I used to hate watching

Goksly said:
I will speculate and say the cpu influence will be processing the physics during a normal graphical scene, rather than rendering through whole screen itself without any gpu assistance -> so speed should hopefully be ok?

I'm pleased about that!
I might give it a try when it's available just to see how my X800 copes, I expect it will struggle though :rolleyes:

Dirk · 18 Jan 2006 at 05:16

I may install it on this work pc i'm using right now, see if i can kill it. Maybe then i'll get a better replacement.

(To give you some idea how bad it really is - superpi 1M 1min 49sec
