Yes.... I'm going to rush out and buy Vista and a DX10 card just to run a bloody benchmark :rolleyes:

whats with server editions no supported?

I would agree with Ketxxx... I am still not going to buy Vista for a while yet. Besides, the only video card I have that could run this is my HD2600Pro, and it would rank near the bottom of the pack. I will continue benchmarking with 3DMark06 for another year or so.

One good thing about Futuremark... you can always count on them giving the current and future video cards a serious test. :toast:

If they call this 3DMark Next, what are they going to call the one after it? :wtf:

I'm with Ketxxx, not upgrading for awhile until I see the benchies for ATI's next cards.

NamesDontMatterwhats with server editions no supported?

Vista server is DX9 only

No one is forcing you people to buy Vista, so calm the f#$% down.

But if you want to have the bragging right with your nerd friends that you can use "Next", then you have to buy Vista.

3DMark After?? :p

It'll be called 3dmark next 1.

I don't like this new name at all. They should keep doing the year dates..../

Has anyone heard anything about DX10 drivers for XP that work?

yeah, next signals to me something entirely different. Also, as a benchmarking tool, the recommend specs are waaay too high. There should be no recommended specs.

Wont happen.

You need recommended specs so they dont get sued for false advertisement.
Other wise people will expect it to run on a iPhone or Atari. Yes, there are people that are that dumb out there.

mmm... have to have vista... no thanks.

I love how ppl try to give them shit for releasing a FREE benchmarking program because it's designed to test the most current hardware and software.

No ones making you buy anything, if you don't like Vista nor Dx10 then that's your choice.
But don't slag them off just because they are bring out some thing new(and free). Dx10 and Vista is the road we are going if you like it or not. :)

Well said judas. Whenever I have to work on a computer that runs XP or GASP:eek: Windows 95 (and anything in between as well) It just feels so wrong the way they have everything setup. Sure you can still work and operate on any older OS out there but there are multiple time saving features in Vista. But back on subject I think I will download this once I actually start building my desktop computer this Spring cant wait till Spring 08:respect::respect::rockout::rockout:
