3DMark06

Anyone downloaded it yet? It looks like a very poor slide show even on 6800GT!

I only ran the demo, basically it's the same thing except for SM3 features update.

The best way to download now is using torrent. 580MB!!!

that thing will only get me upset.. cos it's gonna basically tell me that i don't have a 7800GTX or a dual core system to support it. it's gonna laugh at me slowly frame by frame taunting me to take out my wallet and spend more $$$...

I'm not upset, but pissed off. Why the heck is the demo not customisable, and best of all, must run at 1280x1024??? It will choke every damn card, even 7800GTX!

here's a comparison guide for those using 3DMark06.

Quote:

Mainboard : Gigabyte GA-K8NXP-SLI motherboard, nForce4 SLI, Socket 939
Processor : AMD Athlon 64 FX-57, Socket 939
Graphics Cards :

Radeon X800 GTO (PCX) 256 MB
Radeon X850 XT (PCX) 256 MB
Radeon X1600 XT (PCX) 256 MB
Radeon X1800 XL (PCX) 256 MB
Radeon X1800 XT (PCX) 512 MB

GeForce 6800 (PCX) 128 MB
GeForce 6600 GT (PCX) 128 MB
GeForce 6800 GT (PCX) 256 MB
GeForce 6800 GT (PCX) 256 MB SLI
GeForce 7800 GTX 256 MB
GeForce 7800 GTX 512 MB

Memory : 2048 MB (2x1024MB) DDR1 - PC-3200 2-3-3-6
Software :

Windows XP Professional SP2
NVIDIA nForce4 Platform Driver 6.39
DirectX 9.0c End User Runtime
ForceWare 81.85 WHQL
Catalyst 5.12
RivaTuner 2.0 (tweak utility)

So now you have something to compare to. Of course with the Radeon x800 GTO and X850 XT you'll notice a "0" score at the Shader model 3 result. These two cards simply do not have support for SM3.

My new rig-to-be should score roughly 3500 then...

... but below 500 on the CPU score.

That doesn't require 3D acceleration.
