Dood, Proxycon is such a war torn little planet. I feel sorry for all the people just trying to live their lives while these battles rage...losing sons floating off into space, their loading docks being destroyed...

That being said, I'm really excited to my machine run at 2fps.

i hope to get at least ONE point while running it. (see my sig why)

heh, i just run these tests for laughter and enjoyment. seriously!

Let's hope SM 3.0 isn't a requirement.

I'm guessing it will be for some of the things on it, meaning you likely wont be able to get a full 3dmark score since you wont be able to run some of the tests (similar to 03 which had a sm2 test).

I don't think my 6600gt will do too well...but i want to see how pretty it is.

If not I know where I can watch it run on a 7800 GTX SLI setup 😛
 
Acknowledging the increasing importance of AI and physics calculations in-game, the 3DMark06 now includes CPU performance in the overall 3DMark06 score.
So, by futuremarks own admission, 3dmark06 will be completely and utterly useless for comparing video cards (not that it was ever much good to begin with).

I suppose it will make a pretty demo, if nothing else.

CPU scores being included in the final tally aside, I'm sure the individual tests will stand on their own in whether or not they're useful for exploring architectural performance differences in current parts.

 
i hear 3dmark06 is a real ballbuster, on the final boss you need to use the combo move dkiuywb7262up, up, dn in order to beat him!
man i hope i can remember that move.
lol
