Oh man now it is really time to upgrade!! And especially for the new morrowing coming out. Well that is perfect because i am gettting a job this week so i will be able to afford my 3200venice, DFI Ulrta-D, AX500-A, and an EVGA 7800GT. Will be interested to see what kind of scores the 7800's are getting.

[Rozal]

The more I research the more I think it is true...

that it is coming out tomorrow? also i don't think it's the mobile edition and they are actually going with the name 3DMark 2006, but will also have a mobile edition.

That snow part looks like I can handle it

[icedragn]

Hey Rozal, i went to that link in your sig.. LOL, i remember reading that a long time ago and just remembered to ask.. any problems with condensation/moisture?

[~x-3]

[ilikepie]

Im expecting a score of ~5 with my fx5200

[cre8]

still cant select 06 in orb, how did they get it? beta release?

[DDR-PIII]

they are the lucky few :) its not beta,#52 is a member of their forums, and the rest probably have connections :)

[Careface]

weee thisll be good :D cant wait to see what score i get with the lowest fully supported GFX, the 6200 :D (if someone wants to correct my suspicions though, by all means go ahead, but i think the 6200 is the lowest card to support DX9, SM3.0 etc) sadly it will have to wait for a month or so until i go back home to NZ :( ah well

Test 1+2 = SM 2.0
Test 3+4 = SM 3.0

Cards that don't support sm 3.0 can still run game 1+2, and will get a score based on those... however those won't actually count and will really only be used to compare to other non sm3.0 cards.

[Beginner]

i have a fully modded 59xx card, i wonder how bad it will score?

[Jod]

Sweet! I can't wait to play this game!

[Blackmage]

supposed to be out now come on gamespot.

Mmm, I know. Its been the same since 3d2001.. DX7 w/ DX8 "nature" test.. 3d03 DX7 with DX8 game 2+3 and DX9 "nature" and 3d05.. hmm well theres an exception I guess.

Anyway what i was trying to get at is the 6200 is the lowest FULLY supported video card to run this

Careface*

[Jod]

Oh my goodness, so 3 of the tests are the same? Are they the same run throughs too? Or dif like the 03/05 proxy battles? I gotta say, I'm most interested in the latest test and what kind of temps it can give my gpu...

[Careface]

I just want to see what that arctic level is like, and what version of nature there will be (there had better be nature!)

Careface*

[Jod]

Check pcper's overview.

[Blackmage]

me too does anyone no when the NDA comes off?

[dfonda]

I CAN wait 05 still crushes my system. :shrug:

But I will post a pic of my pitiful score anyway. :p

[fordsierra4x4]

For some reason, many moons ago, i used to care about 3dmark scores and the like. However, since i'm a student and therefore have a limited budget - programs like these only make me more depressed!

I dont even use 3dmark05 because it crushed my 6600GT...

In other words - 3dmark, 3dschmark. Bah! :D

[ziggo0]

I just like to look at the pretty graphics..

[BIB]

610 3dmarks

[icedragn]

Downloading 2006 as we speak, hoping for 1K+

edit:
wow are the download servers ever bogged down :(

[DDR-PIII]

[icedragn]

haha yeah over 300,000+downloads, what chan you expect :P

i can hope :(

Anyways... wow, people almost reaching 10K already, guess 3dmark 06 wasn't that great of a release?
http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm06=3340

I bet people will break 10K within a day or two... making this like the fastest 10K in 3dmark history? the same day if not a day or two after the release.. LOL

[d94]

just got 5400
