First test seems to have rubbish graphics but it's all about the movie features, which is really noticeable in the second test looks really good.
This has proved to me that I need a new computer though... The tests desperately need AA or some form of filtering. Like looking at a million serrated knives!
I'm not sure I'd pay for it just yet though....
EDIT - sorry Wiz! Lol.
Also yeah you can only run it once which is a bit of a joke...
Well that was nice.. Anyone else got that? Copy pasted, wrote it in with & without dashes. Hope futuremark likes spamfilteraddresses, so I'd might get a working key this time :/
edit: 2nd mail key worked
edit: Worked despite that error. 2nd test was more prettier than the first and run better. 1st test best part was Jane Nash boob wiggle :D 1st was something like 4-10fps and 2nd 8-24fps. 2nd CPU test was also brutal, I could imagine my CPU screaming "you think I'm supposed to calculate that fast!" :)

thanks alot futuremark:nutkick:
:toast:
I've got it, but havent ran it yet. since its a one off, i want to wait and reboot for a clean go... but i'm on TPU so i cant do that yet :P
the trial test does what it should i guess. if you watched the 'jane nash' test you can see they used a closeup of her ass. go figure.
the basic version is $6.95 which may be worth it for some people.
