Thats the whole point of 3DMark, to bring your system to its knees, weeping for mercy... or at least my system. :cry:

They updated it to support HDR and SM 3.0 effects + it features extensive dual core processor tests amongst other things.

And yes it will make many PC's cry :(

Chance that you will be able to actually download it this week unless you have big bandwidth is slim.

It's 500 MB's and if it's anything like when 3DMark05 was released those servers are going to be s******* themselves. :wink:

Hmm... those scores quoted earlier actually aren't half bad. If one considers the crush '05 was after '03...

At any rate, it will be a very pretty slideshow. :roll:

Those are with an FX60 though. I think with slower CPU's it will be a lot less.

3DMark06 tested.

http://www.pcper.com/article.php?aid=19 ... pert&pid=1

Perhaps the most important change in 3DMark06 revolves more around the CPU than the GPU; CPU test results now influence and affect the overall 3DMark score. This is a first for the benchmark that had previously made the 3DMark score a derivative of the game tests only and left the CPU tests to be used by reviewers and interested third parties only. That is no longer the case with 3DMark06.

In order for the 3DMark06 score to more closely simulate the system performance a gamer would get while playing on a real game, the GPU and CPU scores are weighted in a way that FutureMark thinks shows a future-looking preview of how each component will work together in real game software. Basically, 3DMark06 wants to gauge overall gaming performance on the system, not just performance of the graphics cards.

That is really the biggest change to the benchmark, and the rest of the new features we can write off as being merely upgrades in rendering technology and graphics technology. 3DMark06 uses Shader Models 2.0 and 3.0 exclusively now for all vertex and pixel processing. In fact, the engine in 3DMark06 dynamically builds the shaders for each material in HLSL (high level shader language) and they are runtime complied by the GPU drivers.
