3DMark Vantage Launch Next Week?
The long awaited Futuremark 3DMark Vantage will be released on April 22nd it has been learned from a picture posted on PCPOP.com. Most notably 3DMark Vantage will differ from previous 3DMark video benchmarks with its DirectX 10 API. DirectX 10 support also means the program will work on Windows Vista only. When started 3DMark Vantage will run through three tests to determine your PC's performance - Jane Nash, Calico and Aeroplanes. If your PC is equipped with an AGEIA PhysX card, there will be a fourth test for physics only. The full list of all NVIDIA/ATI video cards capable of running 3DMark Vantage can be found here. An online test to see if your PC is up to the task for 3DMark vantage is also running online.

been waiting for this for way to long! cant wait to give it a go....new world standard ^
edit: haha that ss looks like a Chinese restaurant menu....
Yeez, CRYSIS is the best game for test your system 3D performance
But I want to see the new spacebattle scene in the new 3DMark :)
BUT WHY VISTA ONLY???????? :cry:
Tatty_One; I have Vista. I just dual boot between XP 64bit and Vista 64bit. But XP is my main OS.
But still, i can't wait!
i thought there was going to be a DX 9 version but guess not :rolleyes:
I will be switching to Vista as my main OS here soon.
I wonder how big the download will be, and i hope they have got more bandwidth than when 3dmark06 came out as i remember that day was very slow for speeds.
trog
glad i just upgraded to vista 64bit... im sure it will run quite nicely on there with a few upgrades :)
(hoping that its 64bit compatible, but im sure it will be, after all this is to define gaming systems for the next few years)
The future of gaming (as gaming / hardware manufacturers want us to believe) is multi-core, multi Gpu... and i only got 1 mid range GPU ;)
it runs on mine just fine???
