Attention benchers futuremark updates

[d]g[ts]

seems that today futuremark has released updates tfor PCmark 05, 3Dmark 05, and 3Dmark 06


New feature for the Basic Editions:

The Advanced & Professional Editions will continue to show the results offline, but the latest builds of the supported Futuremark benchmarks introduce a new feature for all Basic Edition (Free) users - the score is viewable online only.

d]g[ts, is this going to limit free users any further as you understand it? Too bad they couldn't release a patch for '05.

Just noticed this over at techpowerup.com. Glad to see you guys are already on it. :D

if you are not a pro user you will be greeted with this after your bench. but if you submit it online everything is there.

Thanks for posting this d]g[ts; I probably wouldn't have noticed otherwise...
Looks like it will be a bit more annoying now for free users.

Can you publish/compare results still d]g[ts?

[d]g[ts]

yea, all same there. still 5 submitions allowed, and 1 for publishing.

Not sure whats up with 06 orb yet, as NO scores using new build are up yet. and mine are unable to be published. Dunno why they cant be published, but feel its orb related at this point.

A tad bit more annoying yes. Specially if you already have 5 submitions in. Cus ya gotta delete 1, then resubmit just to know what you scored.
the new Result Analyzer is ok to see where your score is against ALL other scores. then again all scores used to range from 11- 16,367 (for 06) so there isnt that much to see.

Thanks for another great feature FM!!!

:rolleyes:

This pretty much eliminates non-pro user's benching a rig with no connection. no way to see what it's doing.

[greenmaji]

That limits some of your benching profiles possible OS tweaks as well :-/

Dang I really didn't want to buy 06.

Guys even tho you may not see your results. whats wrong with ripping off a few runs. savings the results, and submitting them later.
This is only a minor inconvenience to those who are willing to dissable there lan for a bench. Which very few of us do anyways.

I bench on a table, no case, no connection. If I wern't already Pro this would be a major problem not being able to see the results quickly when tweaking or changing system speeds. There's not alot of time to mess around when benching on DI or even an air cooled rig, I think it's gonna be a real pain in the ass for alot of guys.

First they advertise all over the ORB & now this, well at least they finally fixed card clock detection after a year of being broken.
