Futuremark benchmarks..

[Philippine Mango]

3DMark 2005= Oblivion? 3DMark 2003= Farcry? And 3DMark 2001=Rainbow Six 3 Raven Shield? I've been benching my system as of late, and by looking at the graphics of the benchmark programs and recalling framerates, I'd say what I said above is basically what they equal at least graphically speaking.

Also btw, why is 3DMark '06 so much more demanding than '05?

Because it's a newer benchmark and built for the newest gfx cards?

 

[Kromis]

Because it utilizes the CPU too.

Incorrectly I might add.

3Dmark06 inflates the score, for a DC CPU. Which do not correlate to real world incresaes. Not to mention the whole other slew of issues with the latest version.

higher default resolution 1280x1024 instead of 1024x768, SM 3.0, HDR, etc.....
