i'm sure it will be like 06 is(06 runs sm2 and sm3) and probably run sm3 and sm4.

I would assume it would be dx10 based so vista is a must. futuremark has never failed to include the latest shaders that are realeased in their benches. 01 require shader 1.0, 03 required 2.0 and 06 requires 3.0(to get any sort of decent score anyway) I see no reason that 4.0 wont be included after all theres not point in a new 3dmark that runs on older hardware, as 3dmark is designed to test the latest gaming platforms and bring them to their knees.

I think he meant: that if this is what DX10 game could bring us- it may be worth it.

Futuremark....they know how to make the best use of the D3D api. If not for the benchmarks, I'd at least buy this for the "demo", :twitch:

The Lizzard looks Real! Bring back the WWII planes, I dig them! Vista only might suck though, but I could understand it being a DX10 benchmarking tool.
