why is this in dx10 it should be 10.1, unless they enabled all of the optionals in dx10 this wont be a useful bench mark in a few months with the next batch of cards

Amazing,
I wonder how Futuremark will assess the marks as would be dull if a entry level score surpasses a Xtreme level. They have to do something, like scores are the same no matter which level they are being rendering, otherwise most of the people will be playing as an entry level to get higher marks. I just think if the settings are Xtreme it should have something else. Well we will see it next week.
..........
Agreed, as they had more than sufficient time to make the changes.
Edit: I think it is a DX10.1 too but it does not say it. Probably when they refer DX10 means DX10.*. By the way they also should set 3D Mark Vantage as a default graphic benchmark and remove 3DMark 06 from the scene.
Metroid.
Time to upgrade to Vista..
its released now?
if you click on the link with the different presests it goes over the scoring method
they make one comparable to the next, hopefully it works well in the end. but i would rather it just be 4 different options where we normally left the searching at "default"
3 more days....really can't wait.
A bird told me that cpu-test 2 (physics test) runs better on the cpu.
Well thats interesting...I was thinking just the opposite! Well thats good news I suppose for all those that DONT have a dedicated PPU and dont want to buy one to be a benching queen!!Quote:

If there's little to no hardware to benchmark on why even bench it? :rolleyes:
vantage is the next fake from 3D's industry :D
No countdown timer at FM.
No early reviews.
No mention of the release date at FM's forums.
I am seriously doubting this thing is going to be released tomorrow.
It's NOT going to be released tomorrow
We've been told that we'll have a week or a bit more to preview it before it gets released to the public, so... no, it's not going to be released tomorrow.
As in we, I meant some overclockers, and some of the media ( the press ) around the globe
Ummmmm... . why is this thread stickied already if Vantage has never been released yet, with no ETA---let alone a "review"?
Until then, this thread is only attracting posts that are, IMHO, not worthy of reading (a big waste of time for me). I'd wait until it's released first and then sticky it. At least if it is, for sure, gonna be out 3 days from now.
