3DMark05 Contdown has begun....

[Shagga]

Futuremark. For thos that are in the slightest bit interested. 12,000 second approximately 11:00pm tonight...

 

[warcrow]

Right on! Looking foward to drudging my machine through this. :beer:

 

[Shagga]

Just looking at the forum and some of the members there are saying that something strange happens when the numbers read zero. i.e. the letter O appears. Speculation is that it will be released in October...LOL

[edit]

Have a look for yourself...

[NYHoustonman]

[XZeroII]

It says 91000 seconds for me. That's about 25 hours

 

[Noid]

Mine says .... W89770 ...

Yup ... just over 24 hours

 

[caz67]

Exciting..!!

 

[Schadenfroh]

this thing uses SM3.0 model right? what happens if your card only supports SM2.0, does it skip a test like my voodoo5 did with 3dmark2k1?

hmmm..i wonder whether the 'W" will count too...like if it reaches '0' it might switch to 'X' and start over ???

 

[GtPrOjEcTX]

yeah, I think they're playing us, and this isn't a countdown to being able to download it, I think its a count down to reveal the date we will be able to download it.

 

[gururu]

they did the same thing with 3dmark03. if I remember correctly, they actually did release it.

[EULA]

find the 3rd derivative of the last number, multiply it by the letter, find the root, cube it, and you've got the number of hours left.
