Damn I just saw the trailer...SLI required, can anyone say?

Waiting for Conroe/Vista before I build my next computer ::looks down at my baby (9800XT)::...can you hold out?

OOOOOoooooo.......
spiffy....

Nevermind then....

I think there is a small misunderstanding :)
you are talking about the Mobile edition of 3DMark, this one is the "big brother" for PC.

cheers

oh shit :-p thanks I didnt see "mobile" :laugh:

hmmm my 9800pro is finnaly going to flip out and not do it like my 9250 did with 05

I think I am going to have to get a x1900xtx :-D

Well I hope my 7800 GT, which is coming next week, will be able to handle that somewhat fluid...I don't want to buy another 7800 GT so fast...

Looks very HDR-Oriented. Meh.

Usually by the time a new 3dmark comes out, the graphics of games have reached the level of the prior version. I dont know any games that look as good as the demos in 3dmark05.

Well true, but you have to realize that games are made for the masses...so every game needs to run on as much hardware as possible. And there is just so much "graphics" one can turn down and keep the game looking good enough...noone wants need for speed monst wanted with no textures at all, and no lighting effects...but that way it may run on a Geforce 3 or so...*G*. Its like the one time, when someone managed to get doom 3 running on real old hardware...

I think there are certain games that come damn close to 3DMark 05.. (FEAR, Doom 3, Q4,...even HL2 with HDR or FarCry...) but none would be able to be as detailed as the "Nature" benchmark...as sweet as it would be...

I really think that it won't run smoothly on my X800 XT PE. :(

I agree, i am not expecting it to run smooth on my 7800 GT either

DarksaberI agree, i am not expecting it to run smooth on my 7800 GT either

mtosevI really think that it won't run smoothly on my X800 XT PE. :(

arent we getting a little carried away here people? :wtf:

Hold me...Im scared....
I just finally got this old sucker to break 6k at stock on 05 Im doomed.....

Can't wait! It's going to look awesome and it's not going to work on my PC probably. They'll probably require PS3 or sumthin... Sigh.

Hmmm i wonder what a x1800xt would score on the 3dmark06 , if it can get me even something around 5-6k ill be happy ! but somethign tells me it will be lower than that , well cant wait to see !

I was looking at their press releases and they go all the way back to 1998 when 3dMark99 was released. :laugh: To think I was only in 2nd grade then.

Any info on system req.? :confused:

omg i cant wait for this, i wonder what i'll score with my X800XTPE, lol.. probably 2000 or below im guessing, i bet this will really slow down those X1800XT's and X1900XTX's, lol
