Info & pic removed for now due apparent serious miscommunication between two companies involved :)
Q3, still a while... :(
Why MSI, though? Am I missing something?
3DMark has always included in-bench advertisements. MSI would have paid them money to do it. It's not a major deal really.
You can see Sapphire logo in 3DMark Vantage.
on the boat/ship :) w00t for finally a new bench
what about pcmvantage? any word on another release of that?
I hope it doesn't look like it came from 2001 all the while bringing a 480 or 5970 to its knees this time
that bench scene looks way dark... i really hope it looks better than vantage :/
theres unigine and then theres the cave gnome golem whatever benchmark... futuremark is way way late to the party, and those screenshots look far from impressive :/
man, i really dont get what takes them that long and why their benchmarks seem to look worse and worse compared to games...
2k1 was really awesome compared to the games at its time, 2k3 was meh, 2k5 was meh, 2k6 was 2k5 with higher settings which was ridiculous imo, and vantage... dont get me started on vantage... a game that takes more time to load than to run HAH :D
i really like the guys at futuremark, so nice people...
but since 2k3 i havent really been impressed by their benchmarks :/
and worst yet, their system detection and orb is ridiculous...
Don't care what it looks like so long as it does that second bit well :up:Quote:

I think it is safe to assume the new 3DMark will be nothing more than another unpolished turd that will run at 10fps and look like some DX7 PoS demo.
IMO they arent meant to look good, they are meant to stress your system and give you a score! :yepp: They are late to the party but they have ORB and standards of benching so it should be a new HWBOT bench I hope :up:Quote:

It's a pity that Unigine has no interest in securing their benchmarks to create like a Futuremark counterpart. Their 3D scenes look amazing ... I really wanted that one included on the bot :(Quote:

I can still remember how the music explodes into the scene out of the sun flare with all the vegetation. And it still looks damn awesome compared to many games released even these days...
01, 03 nature tests wasnt crap. they were very nice for their time.
hows 03 nature compare to crysis and FC2? i think with just some color changes and newer dx9+ effects its really just a matter of quantity of trees
LOL. Go MSI !!! :D
Thanks Sampsa for the newz :up:
Ah the first time I noticed the logo I was wondering if 3DMark Vantage was intelligent enough to read vendor-specific information about the graphics cards!Quote:

if vendor support reduces the cost, im all for it
So, with Crysis 2 we will have at least two decent benchmarks, before the end of the year! :rofl:
