3DMark06Available 18/01/06

Wow i think people better start stating how many SPF (seconds Per Frame) they get in the future rather than FPS. The CPU test was just painful to watch.
 
I already knew the importance of an SM3.0 capable card with the beautifull effects i see in the games i own (with loads more to come).

Very happy to see this new version of Futuremark has SM3.0 benchmarks :cool:

You must have it in single-card mode because I scored 4724 and I've only got one 7800GTX 256MB.

SM2.0 Score 1923
HDR/SM3.0 Score 1891
CPU Score 1797

Also - is it safe to run your RAM at 2GHz? ;)

My specs:
Athlon 64 X2 4200+ @ 2.42GHz, 2GB G.Skill PC4000 @ 220MHz, XFX Geforce 7800GTX 256MB XT Edition (475MHz/1.25GHz), Asus A8N-SLi Premium.
 
*prob stupid question*

How do I extract 3DMark06 - I got it from Guru 3D and I've downloaded the 7z program as well but it keeps asking for a password??

Yeah, finally a benchmark with SM3.0 so you can see how utterly pointless it is for your card to have it :cool:

For an 100 quid gfx card, it runs current SM3.0 games very nicely thanks, no complaints here, but then again, you're the guy who said HDR+AA couldn't be done with the Half life2 engine :D and that there's no difference between IQ in AOE3 between SM2.0 and SM3.0. :D

Raikiri...aka the Micheal Fish in the world of gfx card advise :cool:

I did not, i said using SM3.0 HDR + AA cant be done on Nvidia.
And I said, to my eyes there was very little diference is SM3.0 and SM2.0. Which there is andmany people agreed with me.

Notice you havent posted a score yet either.
Yeah, you dont have time to run it yet you have a time to post the importance of SM3.0...riight

Grrr, got to 98% with Guru 3D and it disconnected!

I hope that doesn't happen to me as I'm currently on 93% and I've been downloading it for over 7 hours now at an average speed of just 20 Kb/sec.

I'm also using the Guru 3D download mirror :eek:

It wouldn't be so bad if you had used a download manager but they are forbidden (I think) :confused:


Update:
The download completed but Firefox froze and when I looked in Windows Task Manager, Firefox was 'not responding' but after around 20 seconds everything was okay and just as well as I had been downloading for nearly 8 hours!
